Brian Fay at The Lab

I saw Brian Fay 's exhibition 'Some time now' at the Lab. It's over soon but might still be up. Its an exhibition mostly of digital drawings of the cracks in paintings. Here is an image of one of his drawings I found on the internet.

Hiroshi Sugimoto

"I have photographed suites of "stereometric exemplars," fabricated in Germany in the late nineteeth and early twentieth centuries and now owned by the University of Tokyo. The mathematical models are sculptural renderings of trigonometric functions; the mechanical models were teaching aids for showing the dynamics of Industrial Revolution-age machinery. Art resides even in things with no artistic intentions."

Tina O’Connell - Installation from 1999

In Dublin - 1999. Off Site Commission. Project Arts Centre, Dublin
A one tonne sphere of solid bitumen, collapses through a circular aperture, pulled down by the force of gravity into the space below. Relayed back to the viewer on CCTV, or captured by Polaroid film, the spectacle exists just outside of a normal visual register of change. It maps the transformation of the object and the space that it moves between.

Circa Online Review - Launch Making Do

"Niall de Buitléar's drawings are equally understated. He catalogues the aleatory traces of discarded chewing gum: an index of the body, of personalised consumption returned to pavement anonymity.A parody, perhaps, of attempts to decipher the pathological or prophetic from the unwanted and unintended, or of current obsessions with forensic investigations - the drama of the incriminating detail. De Buitléar partakes of the seriality that is a key trope of many works here, but, more so, he continues the Baudelairean avocation of (modern) poet-as-ragpicker: a position far more in keeping with the character of his co-exhibitors than that of de Certeau's 'tactician'.
