I’ll be part of a panel talking about art, technology and nostalgia for the DATA #38 (Dublin Art and Technology Association) part of the Darklight festival at the Cobblestone in Smithfield at 7pm tonight. The panel will be Sarah Glennie, Rachel O’Dwyer and Tim Stott with the session chaired by Francis Halsall. It’ll be an interesting session well worth coming along to.

The closing reception for Space is the Place takes place today at 18.00 in the NCAD gallery, hope to see you all there. Following on the success of the live ‘Bench Project’ twittered  from Manchester we will have another live event from 12.00 with Glenn Loughran creating a window drawing on the topic of ‘Precarity and the University’.

Space is the Place is an exhibition I’m curating of documentation of artistic practices which intervene in public space. The focus is on ephemeral, temporary works which take place out of a gallery setting, living on only in their documentation. The exhbition includes 26 artists and artists groups and it’s been a great privilege putting together this collection of works most of which I’ve admired for a long time.

It takes place in the NCAD gallery from the 27th Aug- Sept 1 as an official Dublin Hub event for ISEA 2009 with a closing reception on Monday 31st at 18.00-20.00 in the gallery.
