Thisisnotashop is delighted to bring home to Dublin the exhibition Everything is ‘Up’ after its run in the TATE Modern, London, as part of No Soul For Sale – A Festival for Independents on May 14-16. No Soul For Sale brings together 70 independent art spaces from around the world for a three-day festival of art and music to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the TATE Modern for which 45,000 visitors are expected. Thisisnotashop is the only arts organization participating from Ireland and we are proud to represent the Irish independent arts scene with our exhibition and performances.

So for all who cannot make it to London for the big event we are very pleased to announce that Everything is ‘Up’ will be shown in Dublin at The Back Loft at La Catedral Studios for three days of exhibition, performance, and events. The exhibition will be open daily from 5pm with live performance/events beginning at 7pm.

To view the exhibition outside these hours please call 087 986 7643 to schedule an appointment.
