Hazelwood House, an important Palladian mansion, was constructed in 1730 to the designs of Richard Castle, architect of Leinster House, Powerscourt House and Westport House. W.B. Yeats has a strong connection to Hazelwood; it was the inspiration of one of his most famous poems: The Song of Wandering Aengus. MAGNETISM is a major contemporary exhibition, taking over seven rooms of the old Saehan factory, also located on the site, where the extraordinary scale of the space allows for the exhibition of what could be called “extreme objects”; large-scale works that populate the immense rooms of the factory. These dynamic sculptural works have a transformative effect on the former industrial spaces – including the huge videotape ‘pancake’ stores and welder’s workshop – through inflatables, lighting, motors, draping and film projection. One of the world’s top suppliers of magnetic tape, Saehan was one of the biggest manufacturing employers in the West of Ireland. The Sligo plant closed in April 2006 following the dramatic decline in the videotape market.
