Millstream Building
- The Millstream building and Courtyard was opened in 2005, an addition to the existing University of Limerick Campus. The space was formerly a restaurant called the River Bistro.
- Overlooking the River Shannon, The building is situated beside The Living Bridge; a pedestrian bridge linking the University of Limerick ’s premises in County Limerick and County Clare. The Living bridge is the longest pedestrian bridge in Ireland, at 350 metres long.
- The Millstream building was one of seventeen venues used for the 40th EVA International Biennial in 2023, curated by Sebastian Chichocki and titled The Gleaners Society.
- Presented at this venue was documentation of FOOD (1971), a restaurant founded by artist Gordon Matta-Clark, the dancer Caroline Goodden and other members of what would later become the collaborative group Anarchitecture. As a social space, meeting ground, and ongoing art project for the emergent downtown artists’ community, FOOD was a landmark that still resonates in the history and mythology of SoHo, New York
