SUMMARY:Year Zero - 40th Anniversary of The Clash at TCD
DESCRIPTION:When The Clash played Trinity College Dublin back in 1977 on October 21st\, they were fresh from a cancelled show and mini riot at Belfast’s Ulster Hall the night before. Bringing the white hot rage of UK Punk Rock to an Irish audience\, The Clash played two sets of 35 minutes and a legacy was driven into the studious grounds. Countless souls were set aflame\, minds were alight with something completely new and raw. \nYear Zero features talks\, Q&As\, readings and screenings wrapping up with a Don Letts DJ set in the Grand Social. Check out their schedule online.

SUMMARY:St Vincent
DESCRIPTION:After crash-landing back into our collective consciousness with “New York\,” Annie Clarke\, aka St Vincent has re-affirmed her claim on the Pop Throne. The first single from her forthcoming album will easily rank among the greatest singles of 2017. Swapping guitar for piano\, it is a heartbreaking lament for a lover and an anthem that will see her right. \nIt was clear she didn’t enjoy the outdoor natter of her last time here in the Iveagh Gardens\, so the Olympia should be much more suited to her tastes. You can purchase your tickets online here.

SUMMARY:Hidden Dips\, Blind Summits: The Road to Brexiteria
DESCRIPTION:Ulster artist Dermot Seymour has been described as a social realist\, often exploring societal themes through the lens of surreal subjectivity. His images seem to leap from a dreamlike state that is both precise and bewildering. His new exhibition\, Hidden Dips\, Blind Summits: The Road to Brexiteria\, in his own words\, “Take the viewer across the dystopian notion of a Brexit on the border.” \n“The world is viewed here from an enchanted distance. It is made strange and new by the yoking together of heterogeneous things like a Russian helicopter and a wild duck\, wildflowers that might have come from Botticelli\, and a dead fish that seems to have escaped Hieronymous Bosch; it is also made at once entrancing and inscrutable by the actual quality of the painting itself.” – Seamus Heaney\, on Dermot Seymour’s work.

SUMMARY:This Was Our Scene
DESCRIPTION:There is a sheer joy in photographing bands\, being in the pit\, catching the moments which define the sound\, sweat and madness of it all\, and which is captured by Irish Photographer Gregory Nolan in this exhibition. \nNolan was there in London in the mid-noughties documenting a somewhat Halcyon time for the scene as the likes of the Libertines\, Amy Winehouse and countless others brought the talent and swagger. Just like youth\, it proved fleeting. These are the visual trappings of that sonic gold.

SUMMARY:Dublin Greek Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The third Dublin Greek Film Festival takes place from Thursday 19 October to Sunday 22 October at Chester Beatty Library\, Filmbase and The Sugar Club. The Festival will be presenting cinematic visions of Greece through features\, documentaries and shorts along with few special events. \nFounded in 2014\, the Dublin Greek Film Festival aims to showcase Greek culture through a variety of films new to Dublin audiences by supporting the best in independent filmmaking. The Festival is run by two voluntary producers: Kiki Konstantinidou and Aleksandra Szymbara. \nKiki Konstantinidou\, Co- Founder of the Festival\, says they want to “give people the opportunity to explore a different aspect of modern Greek culture and reality through various forms of art.” \nDublin Greek Film Festival will kick off with the screening of the movie Xamou\, which will take the audience to the island of Crete\, through its breath-taking cinematography and its original music at Chester Beatty Library on 19 October at 6pm. This sold out screening will be followed by a wine reception sponsored by Gaia Wines. \nThe Longest Run (2015)\, an award-winning documentary by Marianna Economou (Prize of the Trade Union\, Doc Leipzig) about two under age refugees in a Greek prison\, will open the second day of the Festival on Friday October 21 at 6pm\, Filmbase. \nAlso on Friday the cinema lovers will have the opportunity to see the new movie by the Greek-Cypriot Director Petros Charalambous\, Boy on the Bridge (which won Best Film at 29th European Cinema Panorama 2016). Filmbase\, 8pm. \nOn Saturday 22 October the Festival invites cinema goers to Filmbase at 6 p.m. for the free screening of the short documentary True Blue by Haris Raftogiannis\, and to the award winning documentary Next Stop: Utopia (which won the Silver medal at the 35th URTI International Grand Prix for Author’s Documentary) which talks about the closure of a Greek factory and the struggle of the Greek workers to self-manage it. \nSuntan (2016)\, the award winning movie by Argiris Papadimitropoulos (winner of the Best International Feature Film at Edinburg International Film Festival\, 2016) will close the third day of the Festival at Filmbase\, 8 p.m. \nOn Sunday the Festival will come to an end with the screening of Amerika Square (winner of FIPRESCI Prize and Special Youth Jury Award at Thessaloniki Film Festival\, Greece\, 2016) by Yiannis Sakarisis. The movie talks about an unemployed\, Greek nationalist in Athens that has his world turned upside-down when his apartment building and beloved city park becomes a home for migrants in transit across Europe. \nA concert of Kristi Stasinopoulou will follow at 7.30\, The Sugar Club. Kristi and her long-time collaborator Stathis Kalyviotis have performed in big festivals in the past\, including the Montreal International Jazz Festival CANADA\, Barbican Launch London UK and Womex 2002 Essen GERMANY. Pioneers of reinvented folk\, Kristi and Stathis remix traditional demotika songs to reflect their own experiences of urban life in Greece. A previous release by the acclaimed duo topped the World Music Chart for five months\, and they are coming to Ireland for the first time to shake up the Dublin music scene. \nIn addition to screenings and the music event the Festival will host a photographic exhibition by a Dublin-based Greek photographer Kostantinos Epoimenidis (Wednesday 18 October-Saturday 21 October at Filmbase). \n“My intent\, in this work\, is to express the beauty\, diversity and mystery of the land and sea of Greece\, while creating contemplative and meditative open-ended images\, that trigger our collective memory and ignite new perspectives on nature and ourselves beyond the known\,” says Epoimenidis about the exhibition. \nCheck out the promo video below\, and keep up to date with the festival’s announcements by checking out their website here. \nhttps://youtu.be/eozBPU4Gl0s \n

SUMMARY:Review: Plunge
DESCRIPTION:Vera Klute: Plunge  \nSep 8 – Oct 22. \n“Leave your head at the door.” Nowhere is this command given\, but it’s not bad advice. Vera Klute’s Plunge takes its title and runs with it\, asking the same of you: to stop is to ossify. A collection of her work to date\, the exhibition is a multidisciplinary storm\, restless and giddy like a congregation of cherubim.  \n An old\, milk-white\, spectacled woman buried to the waist greets you at the exhibition’s entrance\, looking like a slick modern-day Winnie from Beckett’s Happy Days exuding fierce determination in the face of certain decline. In Plunge\, place is never a promise of belonging\, and this is epitomized in “Move Along” (2014) her most startling installation\, where a wall of white arms twitch and wave you on in impatient domino-style. (The noise of each paper hand clapping the wall is irresistibly close to a tight-lipped “shoo!”). \n How far do you think you are from searing degradation? Klute’s mighty projection “The Grand Scheme” (2013) shows Heaven\, Hell\, and the tenuous in-between stacked in four hierarchical sections: mortal figures stroll under an Edenic plain\, while hooves storm below\, sometimes matching human footfall in eerie coordination. \n \nDown below from hell’s pit pleas are raised in the form of supplicatory hands\, while in that burnt out sky squirms a blimp-like bug – might it be so easy to fall in line with the wrong crowd? It looks like a freeze-frame from a Hieronymus Bosch nightmare.  \n Next to this is “Plunge\,” (2017) the titular installation\, a tangle of cloud-white limbs suspended from the ceiling so that it looks like all the gods from Olympus got into a filthy\, gleeful scramble: you can practically hear the poolside shouts as they plunge toward you. “Stampede\,” (2015) a rush of legs\, made entirely out of paper\, is frozen in sprint below. As a backdrop to this section there is a white wall with wispy\, frieze-like figures caught mid-swim and cut off at the shoulders. So much is given away in apprehensive forethought\, it’s as if Klute has chopped the heads off her figures on purpose just to relieve them of inhibitions. Lessons like these are rare. This intensity of presence is also in her portraits\, which are vivid and so saturated with colour you’d think they’re still wet. She opts for a bold\, striking backgrounds: orange belches up around her subject like impetuous soda-pop. \n“Stampede” (2015)\n If Klute were a conductor\, she’d revel in dissonance\, stirring up confusion and having a wicked amount of fun. She pulls together sculpture\, portraiture\, anatomical illustration\, and video art\, and coaxes an oddball reassurance out of them\, revealing some order to what can seem at times like white noise. Take the piebald twins\, “Black Cloud” (2017) and “White Cloud\,” (2017) an installation described as “ephemeral rotating cloud cogs\,” in which both clouds darken and lighten when the transparent cogs\, filled with soot\, align or separate\, like yin and yang. It is a calming\, if numbing experience\, sitting still and knowing that for now is dark\, to come is light\, with bold zero to be done about either. You skirt around zero\, unsure of it\, before plunging headless into its infinite pit.

SUMMARY:(Sandy) Alex G
DESCRIPTION:At the end of “Poison Root\,” the opening track on (Sandy) Alex G’s (Alex Giannascoli to his friends) new album\, Rocket\, the 23-year-old artist repeats the phrase “Now\, I know everything” again and again\, his voice gliding over a wash of banjo\, violin\, and acoustic guitar sounds. It’s hard to determine the exact tone: does he truly think he knows everything? Or are these incantations a form of self-assurance\, covering up insecurity? Expect complex questions like these to pop up again and again on the dynamic artist’s new album. Playing Whelan’s this Tuesday October 17th\, Alex is sure to lend your evening a smash of colourful music and intriguing sounds. \nOver musical backdrops that seamlessly jump from sound collage to country pop to dreamy folk music\, the cast of characters that Alex G inhabits have fun\, fall in love\, develop obsessions\, get into trouble\, and burn out. Rocket illustrates a cohesive vision of contemporary experience that’s dark and foreboding\, perhaps especially because of how familiar\, or to use Alex’s word\, “unassuming\,” the settings are. Listen to “Witch” below for a taster of what to expect tomorrow evening\, and purchase your tickets online at ticketmaster.ie

SUMMARY:Gavin Murphy's Double Movement.
DESCRIPTION:Temple Bar Gallery + Studios presents a new exhibition by Irish artist Gavin Murphy. Double Movement includes works in film\, installation\, sculpture\, text and photography and stems from the artist’s in-depth research into the now defunct Eblana theatre\, which was located in the basement of Dublin’s famous central bus station Busáras. \nThe works in Double Movement\, document architectural and theatre histories in Ireland\, and seek to highlight gaps in our collective memory\, shining a light on forgotten cultural movements. Art and its forms can profoundly change a society from within\, and Murphy’s work not only acts to help us to remember the Eblana theatre as it was\, and make its cultural importance contemporary again\, but also invites us to contemplate the society in which it was formed\, and its relationship to the present. \nMurphy’s research is also informed by an interest in both the cultural and evidential value of architectural structures\, which can reflect and focus a wide variety of social facts: from the state of the industrial arts\, to the processes of social organisation\, and the beliefs and world-outlooks of a whole society. \nThe Eblana takes on further significance for Murphy as a representation of the lifecycle of an artist-run space\, and Murphy’s work seeks to visualise the energy that is needed to maintain a cultural venue like the Eblana\, as well as to articulate the significance these types of projects can have in society. \n

SUMMARY:Wind Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Every autumn\, two and a half thousand pink-footed geese fly from Greenland to winter at Fala Flow\, a protected peatbog southeast of Edinburgh. From this windy plateau\, Karine Polwart surveys the surrounding landscape through history\, song\, bird-lore and personal memoir. Ideas of sanctuary\, maternity\, goose skeins\, Scottish football legend and medieval medicine all take flight\, in this compelling combination of story and song. \nWinner of the Best Music and Sound award at the Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland\, and a 2016 sell-out hit at Edinburgh International Festival\, Karine Polwart’s enchanting and poetic one-woman show explores the hidden stories of motherhood through story-telling\, song and personal memoir.

SUMMARY:Seession Motts
DESCRIPTION:Dublin trio Session Mott’s unique sound is a hybrid of Northern Soul\, Disco\, Dreampop & Post-Punk. We first heard them on their debut single “Chip Shop Fights\,” released in January 2017. Nialler9 quickly named the Motts ‘New Artist of the Week’ in The Irish Times\, and the group soon picked up similar accolades from DublinLive.ie and DublinConcerts.ie. \nHaving received hype from the usual Irish music blogs\, the eclectic trio were initially to be a studio project before hype led to their sold-out live debut shows. \nDisco-tinged\, dreamy\, with a post-punk bratty vibe to boot\, Session Motts play at the Workman’s Club this Thursday October 12th. \nTickets can be purchased online here. Listen to “Plundered Past\,” below\, for a taste of what lies in store.

SUMMARY:Lacuna
DESCRIPTION:Lacuna is a new photographic and audio/visual installation in the Gallery of Photography evoking contemporary experiences in the border village of Pettigo\, County Donegal. Flowing through the centre of the village the River Termon marks the physical border between County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland and County Fermanagh\, in Northern Ireland. \nThree bridges span the river – and at places where it narrows\, often\, without realising\, you can step across into another country. Lacuna responds to the idea of the border as a ‘landless’ land or a cavity in understanding. Drawn to “in-between” places\, artist Kate Nolan collaborated with the young people of Pettigo to explore the notion of the border as a place in flux. The exhibition weaves together still and moving images\, recorded stories and a commissioned score by Gavin O’Brien to evoke the tangible and intangible\, natural and constructed nature of the border. The diffusion of the physical border in recent years means that for young people there has been minimal impact on physical movement. \nThe prospect of the introduction of an international border between the EU and the UK with Brexit gives rise to new uncertainties about the future.

SUMMARY:Juanita Stein
DESCRIPTION:Howling Bells leader Juanita Stein has just announced a string of Irish dates in support of her debut album ‘America’.\nShe’s seen the world Americanize\, now Juanita Stein returns with her first solo collection of songs about a pre-apocalyptic America. \nThis isn’t the America of goofy teen movies\, Twinkies and Trump – it’s that shattered dreamland Hunter S. Thompson went looking for\, somewhere beyond the pines of Twin Peaks at a crossroads where Badlands met Paris\, Texas. A dust ball in a once great land\, reimagined whilst daydreaming as the towns and plains filtered through the grainy dirt that is the tour bus window during laps of the USA with Coldplay and The Killers. \nThese are songs from a dark-hearted country\, where the lights of Nashville twinkle in the distance as the siren song leads you into the eternal night. Listen to “Dark Horse” below for a glimpse at what lies in store… \nTickets can be purchased online at ticketmaster.ie

SUMMARY:Shore
DESCRIPTION:Graphic Studio Gallery presents SHORE\, an exhibition of new original prints by Elke Thönnes and Susan Early. \nThönnes and Early make distinctive work\, in contrasting scale.  Many of Thönnes’ carborundums are large\, with planes of thoughtfully balanced luminous blues\, that draw the viewer in – minimal and reflective – the flat areas of colour reference the sea\, and simultaneously become the subject itself.  In contrast\, much of Early’s palette is subdued; her small\, intricate etchings refer to specific places around Dublin Bay & along the Irish coast – she depicts a beautifully moving surface\, punctuated by glimpses of light houses\, boats and recognisable landmarks.  They share an affinity for the sea – both seek an emotional depth\, and imbue a sense of reflection. \nA native of Cologne\, Germany\, Elke Thönnes\, was born in 1960\, and studied at the Hochschule fur bildende Kunste\, Kassel before moving to Ireland and graduating from the National College of Art and Design\, Dublin in 1991. She has exhibited widely in Germany and Ireland.   Known primarily as a printmaker\, she lives and works in Dublin\, painting in her studio as well as printmaking at Graphic Studio Dublin. \nSusan Early was born in Dublin in 1967\, she graduated in architecture from UCD in 1989. While working as an architect she started printmaking\, and later became a member of Graphic Studio Dublin. She has exhibited in Ireland\, Europe\, Canada and the USA. \nThe exhibition runs until October 28th.

SUMMARY:Witch and Lezzie
DESCRIPTION:At the Ashford Gallery of the RHA is Witch and Lezzie\, an exhibition by the visual artist Breda Lynch. The comprising works traffic in borrowed images\, in particular those of the lesbian characters in the ‘Pulp’ fiction of the 1940s and 60s. These paperbacks purported to offer a window into the nature of homosexual erotic relationships—a window whose view is smudged by the fingerprints of the prevailing ‘heteronormative’ culture of its time. Lynch wrests these images from the past and appropriates them for her own use. The resulting works are quite daring\, are often humorous\, and\, for better or worse\, feel very much of our time.

SUMMARY:In the Presence of Birds
DESCRIPTION:In the Presence of Birds is an exhibition by Gabhann Dunne that pokes curious fingers at the relationship between humans and animals. Its main inspiration is Buile Suibhne or Mad Sweeney\, a medieval Irish poem in which a king is cursed by a priest to live the rest of his life as a bird. The poem is masterful at evoking a sense of place\, something that the exhibition seems to take conscious measures to avoid. Many of the animals in the paintings are against backgrounds of almost pure colour\, as if they\, unlike their friends in Mad Sweeney\, do not have a place in a world shaped largely by humans for humans. But this might also be a nod to the fact that what the visitor to the Molesworth Gallery is in the presence of is not birds but paintings of birds\, which is to say arrangements of pigment. In any case\, they will be at the gallery until 27 October.

SUMMARY:An t-Oileán – The Island Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:IrishLight aims to draw together the best of Irish-based landscape photgraphers. An t-Oileán: The Island is a group exhibition by Ireland’s leading landscape photographers Daragh Muldowney\, George Karbus\, Michael McLaughlin\,  Norman McCloskey\, Peter Cox \,| Peter Gordon\, and Rohan Reilly. \nThis is a chance to see Ireland’s best landscape photographers all under one roof with a unique concept and brand new work. From Dalkey Island to Inis Mor and back to the Skelligs\, they scan the fringes for some truly breathtaking images. The artists have taken separate journeys across some of Ireland’s most remote island landscapes to interpret the meaning and energy of the Irish islands. \nThe power of the ocean Tory Island – Peter Gordon\nIn a statement that artists’ have said: “It seemed fitting to explore the notion of islands as individuals and bring the work together to see if common themes would emerge. Would our personal styles overwrite the very nature of our surroundings or would the work find a collective expression that ties the exhibition together?” \nIn exploring the islands and the isolation that inhabits them\, the artists have created a moving\, atmospheric and evocative exhibition that guarantees to stir the imagination and the soul.

SUMMARY:Hamnet
DESCRIPTION:“There’s a problem when you try to understand big things by looking at small things. You get lost.” So says Shakespeare to the ghost of his son Hamnet (not a typo) in Irish theatre company Dead Centre’s latest play\, now showing as part of Dublin Theatre Festival. The line comes about halfway through the work\, but it’s a key in to the bones of the play. The real-life Hamnet died age eleven\, while Shakespeare was away working. In Dead Centre’s Hamnet\, we meet a young boy in a limbo space\, waiting eternally for his father\, who he believes is ‘a great man\,’ to tell him all the things he doesn’t yet know – to teach him how to be (Hamlet). While he waits\, he consults Google as a sort of surrogate parent. Dead Centre’s Shakespeare’s fear of getting lost in the small things while trying to understand the big things speaks to the archetype of an artist who forgets about the world in their efforts to make art about it. The character is so caught up in the grand themes of life that he misses the point a bit. \nInevitably\, literary theorists and historians have tried to draw connections between Hamnet’s death and the bard’s most famous play Hamlet. Did this sudden tragedy impact Shakespeare’s writing\, adding depth and pathos and prompting the existential angst found in the famous speech “To be\, or not to be…”? Hamnet oscillates around the question of how to be in the world – whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to aspire to be a great man at the expense of personal relationships\, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and\, ya know\, be a Dad. \nThis production is a departure from the company’s earlier work\, the continuously successful Lippy and Chekhov’s First Play. Those were plays about the storytelling/theatrical endeavour itself: How best to tell stories? Why tell stories at all? Why keep telling stories in a theatre when there are so many other media out there? They’re art about the art. They were loud and bombastic with multiple actors and impressive special effects. Hamnet is quieter\, barer\, more focused. There are still the Dead Centre hallmarks of determinedly harnessing technology and using audience interaction\, but the frame and the focus are starker\, more personal-feeling\, with less room to hide for the performers (co-writer/director Bush Moukarzel himself and thirteen-year- old Ollie West). \nOllie holds the stage single-handedly for much of the performance\, remarkably natural and seemingly at ease. It’s quite a feat for a young and untrained actor\, and a risk for the company to use a child performer. The use of split-second- timed video projection and sound (masterfully executed by video designer José Miguel Jiménez and sound designer Kevin Gleeson)\, piles risk on risk. There are many elements to attend to – both Ollie and Bush have to be in the exact right place at the exact right time on stage or the entire conceit of their communicating across the boundary of parallel worlds will fall apart. The script is immovable in this context and its rigidity tells against the performance at times. Some of the interactions between Shakespeare and Hamnet (like when he slaps the child in the face and calls him a little shit) read like stock scenes from a family drama. When Shakespeare strips down to his birthday suit\, while reciting the lines: “Because you are gone\, I no longer exist. Your father is not your father. I was only acting like your father. It’s a role I am not suited for. The part does not exist. You are alone\,” the gesture of disrobing blows the sentiment out of the water a bit. \nBut there is sincerity and a kind of unabashed innocence here that is redeeming\, helped not least by what Ollie brings to the role as a child simply engaging with a father-figure\, oblivious to the existentially-angsty themes of Hamlet. Dead Centre’s strength as a company is tackling intellectually complex yet universal topics with colloquial aplomb\, framed by technological innovation. In this\, Hamnet succeeds as a work that is multilayered in its structure and heartfelt in its intent. \nRachel Donnelly
