Up a flight of stairs behind a nondescript door on a dingy little lane is a minimalist art space that is the exclusive preserve of the very best of Ireland's contemporary artists. Kathy Prendergast, Brian Maguire, Siobhán Hapaska, Dorothy Cross…if you're not familiar with their work, the Kerlin is the place to develop an appreciation.
