A project to bring artists, educators, writers and thinkers to Cork, Ireland took place over 12 months, culminating in a three-week intensive period in June-July 2005. Caucus brought prominent artists and thinkers to Cork as inspiration for the future and interlocutors for the local art scene. The National Sculpture Factory is developing a project of major significance for Cork's tenure as European Capital of Culture to provide long-term benefits for the contemporary visual arts.

“Seeks to stimulate the discursive environment within the city of Cork and to provide ways in which the ambition of art to intervene in social life and political thinking can begin to be realised. It provides a focus for culture to reach beyond its traditional interest group in Cork's year as Capital of Culture." Tara Byrne, Director, National Sculpture Factory
