of de Blacam and Meagher was Ireland's exhibition at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, 2010. The exhibition addresses de Blacam and Meagher Architects' built and unbuilt portfolio of the last 33 years and seeks to communicate the cultural landscape of Ireland through their seminal work.

The exhibition took the form of a book unbound, containing volumes of drawing and photographic reproductions from the archives, contemporary photography and readings of the work with commentaries, offering a contemporary and critical view of the practice and its positioning in the wider context of Irish architecture.

Nine thousand volumes were presented as paper stacks on oak joinery in the eighteenth century oratory of the Irish monk St. Gall near Piazza San Marco. The installation within the oratory acted as both archive and reading room. The public were invited to read the work and take it away. Over time the stacks were depleted by the actions of the public, until finally we are left only with the furnishings. The archive is, in essence, consumed.

A Culture Ireland initiative in partnership with the Arts Council of Ireland, the exhibition was commissioned by the Irish Architecture Foundation under the directorship of Nathalie Weadick.
