roadmap Exhibition Making their Mark: Irish Paint
er-Etchers 1880-1930 This exhibition introduces audiences to the work of early modern painter-etchers of Irish birth or heritage. These artists made a significant contribution to the so-called Etching Revival of the 1880s, earning the recognition of their peers and contemporary art critics. Key works by Robert Goff, Edward Millington Synge, Percy Gethin, Roderic O’Conor, William Booth Pearsall, Estella Solomons, and Stella Steyn are included. The etchings of Irish artists are shown alongside examples by Whistler, Séguin and other Etching Revival printmakers who had a direct influence on their work.

IV Cantwell is one of the new bloods on the comedy scene honing his skills and growing his fanbase through social media. He’s partial to a good meme or two, releases material on instagram and has created alter-egos such as Your Ma’s Mate and The Dublin Frenchman which have seeded a little cult following leading to sold out shows. He explored a fat kid’s past life and the trials, tribulations and titulations of growing up at the last feed. Sugar Club, Wednesday June 12, €15 8 In 2000, Moby’s star couldn’t rise much higher. Off the back of the phenomenal success of Play, which turned 20 last month and sold 12 million copies, he was cresting the height of stardom. Then It Fell Apart recounts the heady months before alcohol addiction and mental health issues brought him crashing back down. From the various extracts we’ve read in GQ and The Sunday Times, it seems to be a swirl of name-dropping, stretch limos and hob-nobbing - John Lydon, David Bowie and Kyle MacLachlan rocking up backstage, Morrissey wanting him to produce his next album, David LaChapelle introducing him to Holly from Lou Reed’s Walk on the Wild Side. He’s in conversation tonight with Tony Clayton-Lea. Thursday June 6, Liberty Hall, €21.99 (including a copy of Then It Fell Apart)
