Exhibition Páipéar Gig Remi Wolf “Chaotic, colour
-free, funky, stinky explosion pop” is how Remi Wolf describes her sound. The 26-year-old Californian delivered it all in her debut Juno and drops by after a summer which had her opening for the Chili Peppers and Lorde and playing Lollapalooza in Stockholm. “For Juno, I was listening to a lot of Beck and Santana and Michelle Branch and the Japanese Breakfast album that dropped last year. Now, I’m listening to a lot of Mac DeMarco, The Flaming Lips and Third Eye Blind,” said Wolf in Cultured Mag last month. Embrace her hook-filled and hyper-saturated upbeat vibes. Opium, Wednesday August 24 & Thursday August 25, €15 There’s little doubting the game-changing impact Hang Tough have made since launching their exhibition space on Exchequer Street, pairing an astute curatorship of emerging artists with a largely new audience willing to appreciate and invest. Now Rubio and co. take on another ambitious project with Páipéar, an exhibition of 115 original works in a temporary exhibition space at Central Plaza on Dame Street. All artists have been invited to produce an original, previously un-exhibited work on paper - at one of three predetermined sizes - with a completely open-ended brief and varied selection of mediums from paintings, drawings and pastel works, to mixed media, collage and spray-painted pieces. Artists include: Blaise Drummond, Clare Henderson, David Hedderman, Joy Gerrard, Ronan Dillon, Neil Dunne and Superfolk. Central Plaza, 6-8 Dame Street, until August 31.
