Cork 2005: Cypriot artist Andreas Savva uses six kilometres of rope to express his responses to the experience of living and working in Cork.

His installation, Kosmos, of this huge fractured framework studded with broken chairs and old clothes is presented as a metaphor for divisions - both local and those of his native city Nicosia. This is the Cypriot contribution to the Enlargement Project at the Cork Vision Centre. Introducing the work, poet Tom McCarthy spoke not so much of the divisions as of the connectedness of the piece, its oddments of clothing suggesting ghostly presences, while the chairs are merely "trees sitting down", with the whole composition adding up to Aristotle's definition of art as the arrangement of incidents. Cyprus ambassador Andreas Kakouris decided that this was not a night on which to dwell on the politics of the piece, but to embrace it as a work of art. The installation remains at the Vision Centre until the end of August, and an exhibition of maps of Cyprus is also on view at the Central Library.
