ALL art is quite useless according to Oscar Wilde.

Danleo, Denise Nestor, Maser/Leah Burke (Homebird), Will St. Ledger, will be flogging their wares masters of their arts.

Where? The Copper House Gallery on Thursday, May 1st.

Dee Reddy writes:

“Marriage Equality’s vision is of an Ireland in which same sex couples, our families and our children enjoy equality. The contributing artists, the event sponsors and No Fixed Abode share this vision and hope that through this exhibition we can raise funds for Marriage Equality to continue their amazing work ahead of the referendum on same-sex marriage in 2015.”

Any excuse.

Multi-layered CGI composites of ISS photos,and geodata created by London-based fine artist Marc Khachfe, who explainz:

…I was blown away by the nighttime images taken of cities at night by the astronauts on the ISS (international space station) and wanted to print out a large poster of the london one for my office, but I found them too blurry and too small to look good good printed out large format.

The images above (London, Paris, San Francisco and Montreal) while geographically accurate, are augmented interpretations.

For between €44 and €145, he’ll composite the city of your choice and supply prints up to 1m².
