Irish aerosol drug delivery firm Aerogen has announced its support for Galway International Arts Festival’s Galway 2020 project, John Gerrard’s Mirror Pavilion structure, which can currently be seen on Claddagh Quay.
Mirror Pavilion is a seven metre cubed structure, with three sides and the roof clad in a highly reflective mirror and the fourth wall a high resolution LED screen, which plays host to two new artworks, Corn Work and Leaf Work. It will remain at Claddagh Quay until September 26, before moving to Derrigimlagh Bog, Connemara, from October 11 to 31.

'It is very exciting to have a multinational company coming out of the West of Ireland'
"Mirror Pavilion is a fantastic project to support," said Aerogen CEO and MD John Power, "as it ties in with our company ethos of being more conscious of our impact on the global environment as well as our continued drive to deliver cutting edge technology.”
GIAF CEO John Crumlish said: “In addition to a shared desire to be carbon neutral, it is very exciting to have a multinational company coming out of the West of Ireland, which is delivering cutting edge technology globally."
