3rd Annual Christmas (Art) Fair

December 17, 2009 — December 19, 2009

Thursday December 17th, 2-9pm
Friday December 18th, 2-10pm (Canabrism performs 8.30 pm)
Saturday December 19th, 12pm-7pm

This end of year tradition is where we throw open the doors to every artist who fancies putting their work on the wall and see what happens! We provide a suitably lively holiday atmosphere with fairy lights, mulled wine, music, and Christmas films galore…

Artists: bring down your work during the designated times* and claim your spot on the wall- first come first serve. We don’t curate, we don’t take a commission – it’s totally up to you!

Everyone Else: Come down to the most unique Christmas Fair in Dublin that includes a massive variety of different work by different artists- from paintings, to jewelry, to toys, to much much more!

*Artists can bring work for inclusion on Wed Dec 16th from 2pm-8pm.
It MUST BE COLLECTED on Sunday Dec 20th between 12-7pm (after that we are no longer in the gallery and cannot take care of your work!)

Plus on FRIDAY DECEMBER 18th 8.30 pm Live Music by Canabrism

Canabrism (www.canabrism.com) presents a performance of music and video The Machine That Changed The Music. This will be a 40 minute multimedia event which explores the theme of how the development of the computer has impacted on modern culture in general, and music in particular. The music itself will be performed using a variety of modern computer-based techniques including live mixing, sample triggering, effects manipulation and time stretching, as well as synthesized sounds played via a traditional keyboard.
The visual components will be largely excerpted from the 1991 documentary on the history of computing The Machine That Changed The World. This five-part series is now out of print and unavailable commercially, but can be viewed online in its entirety at waxy.org
