Satellite - an exhibition in light and dark

Library Square Tallaght / 13 – 17 February.

New websites launched – Satellite and Bacon Instead!

Two great websites for the arts in South Dublin have just been launched. Newly designed website http://www.satellitesouthdublin.com for Satellite, features the new artworks of In Context 3 artists in the newly built Library Square, which will shortly see the opening of the impressive new County Library. htp://www.BaconInstead.org is the interactive website for Jackie Sumell’s Bacon Instead project has a stop motion Flash interface, a real contrast to corporate website styles – which is entirely appropriate as Bacon Instead is all about reclaiming advertising space for personal use.

You can contribute to the site with ideas on what you would like to see instead of advertisements or download DIY booklets submitted by other artists.

Satellite - showcase of artwork

A showcase of artwork in light-based media by artists from In Context 3, South Dublin County Councils Per Cent for Art programme.

February 13th - 17th 2008
Library Square, Tallaght, Beside Tallaght Luas stop
Best viewed from twilight onwards (after 5.15 pm)

Light, colour and imagination will transform the pavements, windows and walls of Library Square around the new County Library building. Poetry, films and images by artists from In Context 3 will light up this new public space. Satellite is a free event and the artworks will be visible from the outside, particularly during the darkening of early evening. Poetry written in light on the paved areas, films appearing in windows and animations of trees moving across walls are some of the surprises in store for passers-by.
