We are entering the last part of the long weekend, the bit that makes it long I guess, a Monday to enjoy! Forbidden Fruit has ended, and all the madness that went with it, but there’s plenty still on in Dublin this week. Bloom finishes today if you’re willing to battle through the crowds. Otherwise, see what you think below…

I knOw yoU–  IMMA Earlsfort Terrace – 19 April – 1st Sept 2013 – “I knOw yoU is a dynamic exhibition by a new generation of young European artists” or so says the blurb on the new exhibition in IMMA @ NCH (Earlsfort Terrace). It features the work of over 50 artists, so should be something for everyone! Quite looking forward to this one, Tino Sehgal also continues in the same venue.
