Another busy week in Dublin with a new festival in the form of 10 days in Dublin. We’re all quite excited about another chance to see the wonderful Matthew J Anthony live, featuring the Workhorse’s own Matthew Barks. It’s a special live show that will leave you wondering what just happened, mostly becuase you’re blind folded during the whole thing!
10 days in Dublin kicks off today with a stupid amount of events around the city! Go explore their web site for details. There’s also the Groove Music Festival Bray this weekend.
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.
