June Exhibitions: Daniel Tuomey, Fergus Feehily

Published

Daniel Tuomey: Instruments Talbot Gallery & Studios There are actually two instruments in Instruments. Or at least something resembling them: two wooden chairs sit side-by-side as if engaged in conversation; underneath them guitar strings are strung and plugged into amps, and reverb emanates pervasively. The insinuation of dialogue between these two read more…

Interview: David Szauder

Published

Focussing on the architecture of randomly-generated forms, Szauder works on finding humanity in the generative abstract, materiality in code. Here he talks about work emerging from the screen into substantiality. When did you start working with a glitch aesthetic? Do you come from a coding background or a fine art read more…

Interview: Evan Roth

Published

Draw a triangle with the co-ordinates hacktivism, interactive art and gif mashups, and the zone created is where Evan Roth calls home. Having recently coloured Dublin’s streets with the Science Gallery’s Propulsion Paintings workshop, Roth returns for a collaborative show with found material artist Constant Dullaart for GLITCH.

April Exhibitions: Aleana Egan, Ben Rivers + Simone Kappeler, Seamus Nolan

Published

Aleana Egan Kerlin Gallery, South Anne Street, D2 Aleana Egan is difficult to pin down. Her installations, conjured out of seemingly unassuming materials like plaster, cardboard and concrete, possess quietly beguiling qualities; a meditative charm born out of restraint. They are minimal, but not quite Minimalist (though Post-Minimalist, maybe): Egan rejects grand arcs of narrative in favour of a more pared down and subjective experience, but eschews the machine-made for the human. The talism...read more

Our Union Only In Truth: Garrett Phelan on Dublin’s newest landmark

Published

Thirty years is a veritable age for an art institution as innovative as Temple Bar Gallery & Studios. So they’re choosing to celebrate their anniversary in typically daring style: with a large-scale public artwork commission funded entirely by public donations. If its Fund:It campaign reaches its target of €14,000, artist Garrett Phelan will install an arcing mantra in industrial steel that will peek out from the roof of Temple Bar Gallery and beam down onto the square below. Cutting his...read more

Friendly Fires

Published

Like cut-offs or longjohns, some bands are tied to particular seasons. Friendly Fires are St. Albans summer boys, as their second album, the poppy Pala, will testify. Despite the Balearic holiday buzz and Gallic House communality that separates their music from NME Cool List urchins and dance-crossover diletantes, however, Friendly read more…

Interview: Junior Boys

Published

Don’t call it a comeback. Because it isn’t really. That said, the critical response to Junior Boys’ third album, 2009’s Begone Dull Care was markedly less enthusiastic than that of their debut and sophomore efforts. June’s It’s All True saw songwriter and producer Jeremy Greenspan mulling over his place in read more…

Justice – Interview

Published

It’s only five years since Kitsuné and Ed Banger ran the world. Fuelled by a hybrid nostalgia for rave fashion eccentricity and that exact moment disco morphed into house, French electro and its sister scenes saw a short-lived Renaissance – Justice was its Da Vinci. We’re well into the Age read more…

Published

On top of providing a chance for brand new bands to find a following, an advantage of Hard Working Class Heroes is that it gives the casual observer a chance to catch up with the bands who’ve been soaking up all the hype since this time last year. Dublin’s burgeoning read more…

The Rapture

Published

Philosorapture. The perma-cool New York label DFA Twitter-quipped that Harold Camping was not so much wrong about his prediction that the Rapture was coming – his estimations were just three months off. This September sees the return of a band that even the bravest prophet might not have bet on read more…

Best Coast Cooler

Published

Of the generation of (predominantly West Coast American) indie-pop bands fixated on reimaging the sound of surf-pop through their own sandy-shoed, weed-hazed filter, Bethany Cosentino is undeniably the queen of the beach. Already noted for her ectoplasmic contribution to drone-rock duo Pocahaunted and her early fuzz-drenched 7” singles as Best read more…
