I will have a video in the window of the ‘Basic Instincts’ adult store in Temple Bar as part of the Straylight exhibition in Darklight 2008.

The Straylight Art Trail 2008

Straylight aims to explore, develop and expand upon the notion of subverting public space; this year’s Straylight programme sees a number of acclaimed artists presenting their work in a series of diverse and unconventional locations across Dublin’s city centre; participants include Chris Doyle, Tim Redfern, Amanda Coogan, Aine Phillips, Alan Butler, Donal Scannell, Anita Delaney, Lorena Cardona, and Paddy Jolley. A comprehensive list of artists, artworks and locations will be posted closer to the festival, so do stay tuned…

This year’s Darklight Festival is a four-day event celebrating cutting-edge film, animation, art and technology, offering an eclectic series of screenings, seminars, workshops and special events at a series of Dublin venues.

VISIT 2008 Info:

VISIT 2008 is the initiative of fifteen artists’ studio organisations in Dublin. On Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th April, over 150 visual artists living and working in the city will open the doors of their professional practice studios for VISIT 2008.

Ever wondered what artists’ studios look like? Curious to find out?

Offering a snapshot of artists working across a wide range of media including printmaking, painting, drawing, sculpture, glassmaking, ceramics, video, film, photography, installation and conceptual art, VISIT 2008 celebrates the vibrancy of Dublin’s visual art scene. Throughout the city, artists’ studios are dotted and clustered in unusual settings: faded Georgian buildings, renovated stables, urban warehouses, an old mill, a hidden gem above a car salesroom, dormant council flats, an old firestation and a state of the art studio complex.

VISIT 2008 is the second VISIT event and the number of studios and artists opening their doors to the public has dramatically increased. VISIT 2008 will take place across two days, with half of the studios opening on Saturday and the other half opening on Sunday. We wish to encourage the public to make their own way around to the various locations or, if preferred, there are options for tours on both days to facilitate the visiting experience.

Supporting the artistic communities in the heart of the city is important for the cultural pulse, energy and vision of Dublin City. VISIT 2008 gives you the chance to see for yourself the creative spaces often unseen by the public.
