INSIDE | OUT - Joe Caslin
Joe Caslin's latest temporary mural 'Come out to Play' has just been completed on the facade of the old museum/library on Parnell Street, Clonmel. In this episode I caught up with Joe to talk about his unique work and how his INSIDE | OUT mural represents a departure from his usually more serious subject matter.
Joe is an Irish street artist, art teacher and activist, best known for his beautifully rendered pencil drawings, which manifest as towering pieces of street art. His highly accessible work engages directly with the social issues of modern Ireland, on an unavoidable scale. Caslin confronts the subjects of suicide, drug addiction, economic marginalisation, marriage equality, stigma in mental health, direct provision, institutional power, inclusion, consent and most recently, the effects of the Covid19 pandemic on young people. The monochrome drawings Caslin creates hold a mirror up to the kind of society that we are, whilst asking us individually what kind of society we want to be a part of.

INSIDE/OUT is a project led by South Tipperary Arts Centre (STAC), as part of Faoin Spéir- In the Open Clonmel funded by the Arts Council of Ireland and in partnership with Tipperary County Council. INSIDE/OUT proposes to make the town of Clonmel an outdoor gallery, including mural/street art and large scale 2D art installations on buildings and walls around the town.
Phase 2 of INSIDE/OUT sees an installation of works by 7 artists, based in or originally from Tipperary, selected through an Open Call. This phase sees the artists’ work presented on a large scale and installed at two locations around the town, Davis Rd. and Market St., bringing colour and life to the streets. A downloadable map is available:

Phase 3 of INSIDE/OUT saw artist Joe Caslin create a new temporary mural which is central to the exhibition and will also respond to the overarching theme of Faoin Spéir- In the Open Clonmel ; ‘Coming Out To Play’. This will be the commission as part of this project, the first being ‘Tread Softly’ by Canvaz which was installed last Autumn as Phase 1 of this project.
