“As a fairly new board member of the Douglas Hyde Gallery, I arrived at the opening of the 2001 Venice Biennale bearing several copies of the book Patmos, hot off the presses. This exquisitely presented testimony to the previous five years of John Hutchinson’s programme astonished everyone who saw it. Featuring, among others, Marlene Dumas, Peter Doig, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Mark Manders, Mike Nelson, Rivane Neuenschwander, Paul Thek, and Luc Tuymans, alongside various Irish artists, it bore witness to a unique and prescient vision from the edge of Europe at a very particular moment in time.
