Another one of those busy summer weeks, with far too much on around the city to see and do! You Bloom is billed as Dublin’s answer to South by South West and hosts 50 Irish and 50 International Acts as well as a music conference over the weekend. The Solstice festival continues in Navan.
Art –
Secretion by Willie Doherty is at IMMA (Image above) until 1st September at IMMA @ NCH Annex.
183rd RHA Annual Exhibition runs from 28 May-17 Aug, 2013. It always feels like summer to me when this exhibition opens! It’s well worth a look, and a great snap shot of art in Ireland.
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.
