A couple of good days...

I've been having a couple of really good days... My work is coming along in the studio with a furious pace... two new exhibitions are planned and booked, and the sun is coming back from a haily and rainy period of misery.

Don't miss the last couple of days of A Winter's Night Striving Towards Summer at Lemonstreet Gallery in Dublin (IE) as it's closing on Saturday the 24th... hurry hurry!

Orhan Pamuk - Snow

Reading at the moment:
Orhan Pamuk - Snow
Pamuk's books are characterized by a confusion or loss of identity brought on in part by the conflict between European and Islamic values. They are often disturbing or unsettling, but include complex, intriguing plots and characters of great depth. His works are also redolent with discussion and fascination with the creative arts, such as literature and painting. Pamuk's work often touches on the deep-rooted tension between East and West and tradition and secularism.

Lemonstreet Gallery 1 March - 22 March

The Absolut Swedish Festival in Dublin is proud to present the ART program. Two shows with seven different exciting young Swedish artists currently working in Amsterdam, London, Berlin and Stockholm will be showcasing their work in the Lemonstreet Gallery and Filmbase. Though internationally based, these artist are a cross section of what young contemporary art in Sweden has to offer.
’Set Foot ’ at Filmbase will present a selection of videoworks and installations where human interaction and memory plays a crucial role.In ‘A winter nights strives towards summer’ at Lemonstreet Gallery, paintings and drawings are focused on vast and extensive landscapes, far views and intense close up’s. The unknown, yet the familiar meets in an immense atmosphere. The two exhibitions are separate shows yet they have a collective sense of a current ”swedishness”. See below for each location and discription of each exhibiting artists.
The ART program is curated by artist Pär Strömberg
