NEW PERSPECTIVES More signs of real life creative
interactions on the horizon with the launch of New Perspectives by the Agora Collective. This group of a group of photographic talent who graduated from Griffith College last summer issued an open call to capture 2020 in the autumn. The fruits of their labour and spoils of their shutters will be evident in the novel medium of print this month. Artists involved in the group show include: Amy Flinn (@mymindmagnified), Cathal Doran (@hear_nothing), Corinna Nolan (@corinnanolanphotography), Fionn McGinley (@fionn.mcginley), Irene Gaspari (@irenegaspariphotography), Iryna Baklan (@iryna.evergreen), Kate Swift (@katesks), Patricia Tjhia (@auhra) and Peter Molloy (@peter3molloy) The Darkroom, 32 North Brunswick Street North, Dublin 7 Saturday July 24, 5pm-9pm agora-collective.com @agora.collective ROADMAP Michael McDermott POP UP 2.0 Back on June 22, 2009, Le Cool Dublin wrote, “Expect to hear a lot more in the coming months about the idea of Pop-Ups. Once the preserve of books, Bosco and online adverts that try too hard, this concept is about to find a new home, albeit an ephemeral one, in this city. And it isn’t surprising to hear the words “unused retail space” in conjunction with this either…” 12 years later and we’re anticipating the resurgence of Pop-Ups 2.0 as the city attempts to realign its spaces with the newfound needs of its, post-pandemic, citizens. The prototyping of concepts can flourish again. We Make Good, Ireland’s first social design brand, returns to Fade Street sharing their space with Kiki Na Art who has launched SoKiki a new range of clothing created with her sister Sorcha. Meanwhile, We Make Good continues with their mission to “collaborate with Irish designers and social enterprises around the country to make beautiful products that create meaningful employment for people from disadvantaged backgrounds.” 16 Fade Street, Dublin 2. @wemakegoodireland CORRECTION In Roadmap 193 in a shout-out entitled ’10,000 matches’ we referred to a mural Asbestos was creating on O’Connell Street. His finished piece is actually made out of 4989 individually painted burnt matches, each one representing a life lost during Covid. Of course, he didn’t get in touch to point this out but did share images of his sublime creation. “After I finished painting each match I repeated a quote from Joseph Beuys “Pass Freely from one level of existence to another”. The quote was inspired by my fascination with Beuys’ work and his blackboard drawings in the Hugh Lane Gallery.” @artofasbestos BACK OF THE NET Coming off the back of the giddy rush that was the Euros (#VivoAzzurro), we can envision ourselves dribbling and nutmegging a little more over the summer.
