Figure 7. Wheely Good Artists FACP Degree Show 2015. Molly Maher, above, offered a performance, illustrated with a flip chart of detailed blow-ups taken around the college from odd vantage points.

Or was it a student trying to work out where the institution began and ended, what it knew and did not know in its newly marketised form?
