We are thinking of extending the idea and putting on gigs during the day also. Those of you old enough to remember the 1980s will probably thinks back fondly to Sunday aternoons whiled away in boozers all over Dublin supping pints while listening to the ‘next big thing’. So the question is; Would YOU go to a gig on a Sunday afternoon?
Anyone?

Australian sculptor and former puppeteer (on Jim Henson’s Labyrinth) Ron Mueck spends hundreds of hours perfecting the fine details of his hyper realistic pieces, rendering them identical in appearance to the human form in virtually all respects but one – scale.
Mueck’s disconcertingly intimate figures are either oversized (as in Couple Under an Umbrella, above) or miniaturised.
In April, Mueck unveiled three new works at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. The exhibition runs until the end of September.
