The Elephant in the Room

THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM is an outrageous interruption. Where did it come from? What does it mean?

Standing almost 3.5 meters high, this bespoke Elephant (designed and created by Ger Clancy with Paul Curley) will reside in a school hall for a period of up to one week, allowing the whole school to witness the wonder of this curious creature.

Construction and installation of the Elephant will happen during non-school hours, giving the impression the Elephant has appeared from nowhere when children arrive in school. It will leave in the same way. 

The Elephant in the Room is a stand-alone installation that aims to provoke conversation about things that are really apparent, yet we find difficult to talk about.

This sculptural art project invites you to invite The Elephant into your school to inspire conversation & ignite critical thinking.

Preparatory information and follow-up resources will be made available to participating schools.
Build times takes a minimum of 3 hours.
Building & installation typically takes place on a Monday afternoon (after school), the sculpture is dismantled and removed the following Thursday afternoon.
A site visit may be required to view the hall/space ahead of installation date.
