Irish artist Kathy Prendergast is nothing more nor less than a mapaholic. Since 1992, she has been producing "The City Drawings" - frail, spiderweb pencil transcriptions of plans of the world's capitals - by the hundreds, with quite a few still to go before the series is complete. Curated by the Irish museum's Brenda McParland, Prendergast's first major solo features 115 "City Drawings" as part of an extensive survey of eight years' work. Also showing: recent, small-scale pieces referring to childhood and the home (such as her knitted Prayer Gloves, 1998 - mitts that warm the fingers while uniting them in prayer); modifications of atlases and computer-generated maps; and a number of large-scale sculptures realized this year. Dec. 1, 1999-Mar. 12, 2000.
