The collective is demanding new legislation to remove the role of local authorities in the creation of public space art
They want a model like that found in Sydney, where artists can create a mural with the consent of the building owner, as long as the material is inoffensive.
For now, the case against Subset is in limbo. Dublin District Court most recently heard that the council wishes to strike out its case, but that Subset's legal team fear this is merely"a tactical move" before the council starts fresh proceedings against the artists in a higher court. The judge in the case has adjourned the matter until September.
However, speaking in broad terms, an official said that the council was fully supportive of public art work in appropriate locations, and once approved through the correct channel.Dublin City Council had given permission for at least 35 large-scale public art installations in the past year, and had previously commissioned Subset to paint murals in approved locations.
"In this laneway, this public art gallery brings people down the lane constantly," Mr Conlon said."Before, there wouldn't have been many people visiting, but now there are always hundreds of people walking down here. That traffic reduces the issues that would've been found here before."
