Our studio was freezing cold, so we had to wear layers and layers of clothes to try and keep warm. Most of the time it was dark outside so the light wasn't ideal for working in. Making 'The Toy Show' wasn't easy.
'The Antics Rogue Show' took place on 18th July 2009 at The Bernard Shaw, Dublin ... A selection of about 10 artists participated in "pimping old art" ... Its a simple idea: You turn up with your old painting/picture etc, hand it in, the artists are called in and they go to work on it live with spray, stencil, marker, blood or whatever their favourite medium is and an hour later you have a one of a kind updated piece of art.
Adrian + Shane's award winning short film '42 Rotations' is now available to view online for the first time.
"Filmed at the Astoria (G-A-Y) in London on November 19th 2005 using a Canon IXUS 50 digital camera. It was originally meant to take a photograph but the camera was on the wrong setting and recorded a (one second long) accidental film instead! We then used that second of video footage, repeating the same clip over and over 42 times. The color changes with each repetition. We used the original sound, you don't hear any music, just a loud violent noise."
Free Art Friday is a relatively new art movement that’s rapidly gaining in popularity around the World. Artists create a painting, sketch, sculpture or installation and leave it on the street. The piece can then be picked up by anyone and claim it as their own. Finders are encouraged to email the artist and tell them how and where they found it. Painters, photographers, illustrators, sculptures, graffiti artists, taggers, cartoonists (or any visual artist) were invited to contribute a small piece of work that will be hung/placed/or left on the streets of Dublin on Friday 23rd January for anyone to take away.
