Film Festival, AI Zimbabwe, Property Exhibition, Science Gallery, Gospel Choir, Sunday at Noon"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all!<\/p>\n<p>I am just coming back from the first official &#8220;Dublin Event Guide  Event&#8221;. We met up for an &#8220;Alternative Valentine&#8217;s Day&#8221; in Porterhouse  and it was great to meet loads of people from the Dublin Event Guide  Community. 35 came and I think that was a great number, especially  considering that a meeting on this day makes it close to impossible  for many people to come &#8211; unless they want to get in serious  domestic\/relationship trouble. Future events\/meetings are planned and  will be on a more socially acceptable going-out-day. :-) Thanks to  everybody who came, it was really nice.<br \/>\nOh and a little story from my way home: Usually I don&#8217;t drink any  alcohol at all when I drive, but today I had a pint of Swedish apple  cider. On the way home I was stopped by the police (the 6th time in  the last 3 months) and was &#8220;invited&#8221; to an alcohol test!!! This was my  fourth alcohol test in the last 3 months! Every time before I did not  have any alcohol at all so I was very confident. This time, I was a  little apprehensive. Surprisingly the result was ZERO! This doesn&#8217;t  really make sense, but I didn&#8217;t argue too much! :-) Still, the loud  and clear message is: Don&#8217;t risk it! There are tests everywhere! \u2026and  while I am writing this, Padraig is still waiting to be de-clamped. :-(<\/p>\n<p>If you get this Event Guide for a while, you probably know by now,  that the only two routes the Event Guide is &#8220;promoted&#8221; is by you (Word  of Mouth) and through Facebook. Thanks for spreading the word!! Maybe  someone can help me with this question in my head: More than 300  people have joined the Dublin Event Guide facebook group, but did NOT  send a mail to <a href=\"mailto:dublineventguide@gmail.com\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">dublineventguide@gmail.com<\/a>. I thought I made it clear  in the group description that you have to do that and all of you who  found out about it through facebook and now get the Guide via e-mail  did obviously understand that. But why did more than 300 people NOT  understand it? Is it my English? ;-) Maybe one of you has an  explanation for this phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p>Like every week, I have an Event Guide FULL of ideas for the weekend  (and part of next week) for you, so I hope you will find something.  One of the big events this weekend and even until 24 Feb is the Dublin  International Film Festival. As it is typical for cinema, most of the  festival events are not free, but there are plenty of free events  provided in the context of the festival and I have them listed in this  issue. The website for the festival if you want to find out more is  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dubliniff.com\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.dubliniff.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, just a public service announcement for you travelling  people: Ryanair is completely shutting down their booking system for  three days from 22 Feb to 25 Feb. Flights will operate as scheduled  during these days, but it will neither be possible to book online nor  over the phone. Make sure you consider this.<\/p>\n<p>______________________________<br \/>\n______Friday___________________<\/p>\n<p>HUMAN RIGHTS (THEATRE AND DISCUSSION)<br \/>\nThe Amnesty International Irish Section Zimbabwe Group invite you to a  performance of the play \u201cA Footprint of Roses\u201d by Elaine Desmond. The  play is a stark portrayal of the human rights abuses endured by the  women of Zimbabwe who continue to campaign for social and economic  reform in a country teetering dangerously on the brink of total collapse.<br \/>\nThe performance will be followed by a panel discussion on the human  rights issues raised in the play. Panellists are: Colm O\u2019Gorman  (Executive Director, Amnesty International Irish Section), Kieran  Clifford (Campaigns Manager, Amnesty International Irish Section),  Selu Mdlalose (Member of Amnesty International Irish Section Zimbabwe  Group), Barry Andrews (TD for Dun Laoghaire) and Joe Humphreys (Irish  Times journalists based in Pretoria up to January 2008). Karen Coleman  (Newstalk and TV3) will chair the discussion.<br \/>\nAdmission is free and the event takes place on Fri (15 Feb) at 20:00  in St. Ann\u2019s Parish Centre (Molesworth Lane, off Molesworth Street,  Dublin 2)<br \/>\nDonations to Amnesty International Zimbabwe Group welcome.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amnesty.ie\/live\/irish\/article.asp?id=16811&amp;page=00\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.amnesty.ie\/live\/irish\/article.asp?id=16811&amp;page=00<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a busy Friday for launches ;-) :<\/p>\n<p>LAB EXHIBITION &#8211; SEAMUS NOLAN + NIALL DE BUITLEAR<br \/>\nThe LAB in Foley Street is showing &#8220;Demesne&#8221; by Seamus Nolan from 16  Feb-22 Mar. The preview is on Friday 15 Feb from 18:00-20:00.<br \/>\nThe description: &#8220;Seamus Nolan&#8217;s Demesne is created out of discarded  cardboard and considers the distinction between waste and possibility,  examining the role of landscape in the process of objectifying a  concrete relationship with the external. The work considers the notion  of a temporal relationship with place, looking at how the leisure or  tourist industry assimilate the transitory experience of living in  nature while the actual culture of historically nomadic people is  situated outside of a legitimate public experience.&#8221;  <a href=\"http:\/\/blackletter.ie\/site\/modules\/piCal\/index.php?action=View&amp;event_id=0000007783\" class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\">http:\/\/blackletter.ie\/site\/modules\/piCal\/index.php?action=View&amp;event_id=0000007783<\/a><br \/>\nSeparately, the LAB is also showing sculptures and drawings by Niall  de Buitl\u00e9ar from 16 Feb-22 Mar and the preview is in parallel with the  Seamus Nolan preview on Fri 15 Feb from 18:00-20:00.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nialldebuitlear.com\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.nialldebuitlear.com<\/a> and<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blackletter.ie\/site\/modules\/piCal\/index.php?action=View&amp;event_id=0000007771\" class=\"moz-txt-link-freetext\">http:\/\/blackletter.ie\/site\/modules\/piCal\/index.php?action=View&amp;event_id=0000007771<\/a><br \/>\nOpening hours for The LAB are: Mon-Sat 10:00-17:00.<\/p>\n<p>ART INSTALLATION<br \/>\nFrom 15 Feb-18 Feb &#8220;Satellite&#8221; is on show on Library Square in  Tallaght. &#8220;Satellite&#8221; is a showcase of work in light-based media by  artists from In Context 3 (South Dublin County Council\u2019s Per Cent for  Art programme). The artists are Dermot Bolger, Michelle Browne, Cleary  &amp; Connolly, Andreas Kopp, Barbara Nealon, Jackie Sumell, Bik van der  Pol, Jennifer Walshe. The launch is on 15 Feb from 18:30-20:00 in the  Glashaus Hotel on Library Square in Tallaght. The display is certainly  free to watch, the launch party is probably free as well, but there is  a small chance that it is by invitation only. Unfortunately I don&#8217;t  have a contact number to find out more.<\/p>\n<p>ART BOOK LAUNCH<br \/>\n&#8220;House Projects&#8221; was a multi-disciplinary art project composed of  seven events taking place in five venues across Ireland, one in New  York and one in London between May and September of last year. A new  200 page book features documentation, essays and analysis of the  artistic, critical and curatorial concerns of the project, with an  overview by critic Declan Long. The launch of the book will take place  on Fri 15 Feb from 17:00-18:30 in the Project Arts Centre (39 East  Essex Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.houseprojects.net\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.houseprojects.net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>CLOSING EXHIBITIONS<br \/>\nThis is the last chance to view some exhibitions and especially the  Chester Beatty Library exhibition seems to be worth a visit:<br \/>\n&#8220;One Hundred Aspects of the Moon&#8221; in the Chester Beatty Library is  closing on 17 Feb: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbl.ie\/Exhibitions\/Temporary-Exhibitions.aspx\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.cbl.ie\/Exhibitions\/Temporary-Exhibitions.aspx<\/a><br \/>\nI had mentioned this exhibition before and suggest you look at the  website to find out more.<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nThe Willard Wigan exhibition &#8220;In the Eye of a Needle&#8221; in the Oisin  Gallery is closing on 16 Feb: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oisingallery.com\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.oisingallery.com<\/a>. The Gallery is in  44 Westland Row, D2 (near Pearse DART Station at the rear of Trinity  College). Opening hours are Monday &#8211; Friday 09:00-17:30 and Sat  10:00-17:30.<br \/>\nI only found out about this exhibition now and it sounds amazing, so  let me tell you a bit more: &#8220;Micro Sculptor Willard Wigan is the only  artist in the world creating what can only be described as &#8216;micro  art&#8217;. These tiny sculptures are smaller than the full stop at the end  of this sentence &#8211; invisible to the naked eye &#8211; and are on display  under high-powered microscopes. Artist Wigan uses tiny surgical blades  or fragments of diamonds to carve his microscopic figures out of rice,  grains of sand, and sugar, which are then displayed on items such as  pinheads, the tip of an eyelash or within the eye of a regular sewing  needle. One of the exhibits, entitled Zeta the Fairy, is made of wings  from an actual fly, and rests on top of a pinhead.&#8221;<br \/>\nHad I known before about it, I would definitely have visited the Oisin  Gallery. Unfortunately I can&#8217;t this weekend, but if you have a bit of  time, spend it in the Oisin Gallery\u2026maybe before you go to the Science  Gallery, which is very close!<\/p>\n<p>______________________________<br \/>\n______Saturday_________________<\/p>\n<p>GRAVITATION 2008<br \/>\nFor two days, on Sat and Sun (16 Feb+17 Feb) the Monkstown Pool &amp;  Fitness Centre will be home to boards, bikes, blades and beats for  Gravitation 2008. Every day from 12:00-16:00 skateboarders and BMXers  will show their skills to hip hop beats. Some of the city&#8217;s  skateboarders and BMXers will perform and MC for the day will be Andy  Critchlow.<br \/>\nGravitation 2008, hosted by DLR Events, is an initiative by D\u00fan  Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and will feature demonstrations by  experts over the 2 days at the new state of the art Skate Park just  opened in Monkstown Pool and Fitness Centre. The skate park will be  FREE to the public to test their skills and experts will be on hand to  provide tips throughout the event. The aim of the event is to embrace  the wide selection of alternative sports and urban culture in Ireland  and provide a platform to showcase boards, bikes, blades and beats at  their best.<br \/>\nTo get to the pool get on a bus to Dun Laoghaire (I hear a song coming  on! Bagatelle anybody??) and leave in Monkstown Village. Alternatively  drive through Blackrock and take a turn on the Rock Road\/Temple Hill  to Monkstown. Once in Monkstown Village you should see the  chess-figure like protestant church and the catholic chuch nearby.  Go\/drive up the street leaving the protestant church on the left and  the catholic church on the right until you reach a roundabout. Take  the 3rd exit (i.e. turn right) and after another 100m you will see the  Monkstown Pool to your left. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.monkstownpool.com\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.monkstownpool.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>PROPERTY EXHIBITION<br \/>\nThe Sunday Business Property Expo is trying to help you expanding your  property portfolio from Fri-Sun (15 Feb-17Feb). It is one of Ireland&#8217;s  largest overseas property event and is aimed at the growing property  investor, landlord, developer and speculator market. The exhibition is  taking place in the Main Hall in the RDS in Ballsbridge and you can  find more information here <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propertyexpo.ie\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.propertyexpo.ie<\/a>.<br \/>\nOpening hours are on Fri 12:00-19:00 and Sat+Sun 11:00-18:00.  Admission is free and all seminars are free as well.<br \/>\nOh, and extra for parents with children: Ireland&#8217;s best face painting  and balloon making team <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marvellousfaces.com\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.marvellousfaces.com<\/a> will be there and  provide their services for free.<\/p>\n<p>SCIENCE GALLERY<br \/>\nI wrote about the new Science Gallery twice and managed to go there  last Saturday. It was the last day of the &#8220;Lightwave&#8221; exhibition and  the crowd QUEUING up to get in was huge. I waited more than half an  hour to get in, but it was worth it. The Gallery is a lot smaller than  I thought, but the exhibition is really interesting if you have an  interest for light. The response was soo great that the Science  Gallery decided to extend the show time for &#8220;Lightwave&#8221;. Last week  they had a lot of talks and workshops as well and they couldn&#8217;t get  extended or repeated, but the exhibition will be on show until 01  March. The opening hours are 17:00-21:00 (it has to be dark outside  for the light objects to have the desired effect!) from Tues-Sun.<br \/>\nThe Science Gallery is only a 7 minute walk from Grafton Street (at  the Pearse Street\/Westmoreland Street side of the Trinity College  campus) and if you only want a quick peak, you won&#8217;t need more than  20-30 minutes, but I suggest to make your way there before the 01  March. Admission is free.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencegallery.com\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.sciencegallery.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>DUBLIN ON SCREEN &#8211; FILM FESTIVAL LIBRARY EVENTS<br \/>\nThe Jameson Dublin International Film Festival is starting this  weekend and will run until the 24 Feb. In association with the Dublin  Library Services the Film Festival will celebrate Dublin&#8217;s Cinemas. A  series of twelve talks will take place across the festival dates in  libraries across the city. Starting in Pearse Street Library on 16 Feb  at 14:30, these events will explore the history of cinema-going in  Dublin, identify the local cinemas in these areas, the film  programmes, premieres and guests, the architecture of such buildings  and the memories, past and present these venues provoke. A line-up of  film writers, historians, filmmakers and critics will participate in  this city-wide celebration.<br \/>\nIf you are a cinema fan\/expert and you live in Dublin, you have to go  to one of these events. The full schedule is here  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dubliniff.com\/event_live.php?id=5\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.dubliniff.com\/event_live.php?id=5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>FREE FILM SCREENINGS<br \/>\nTo celebrate the vital role which Dublin has played on screen, the  Dublin International Film Festival is presenting 6 programmes of films  and non-fiction material shot on the streets of Dublin since 1897.  Many Dubliners will remember the shooting of such classic Dublin films  as Quackser Fortune Has A Cousin in the Bronx and The First Great  Train Robbery.<br \/>\nThe screenings are all outdoor screenings (Dress warmly! It still gets  freezing cold when sitting outside for a while.) and are a great idea  for the Dublin International Film Festival to get closer to the people  in Dublin.<br \/>\nThe screenings are:<br \/>\n&#8211; Lumiere Brothers Footage from 1897, Sat 16 Feb at 18:00-18:30 in  O&#8217;Connell Street<br \/>\n&#8211; Quakser Fortune has a Cousin in the Bronx, Mon 18 Feb at  13:00,15:00,17:00,19:00+21:00 in Gravediggers Pub, Glasnevin, D9<br \/>\n&#8211; Docklands Documentaries, Tues 19 Feb at 12:30-18:30 in CHQ,  Docklands, D1<br \/>\n&#8211; The First Great Train Robbery, Wed 20 Feb at 16:40 at Main Foyer,  Heuston Station<br \/>\n&#8211; The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Sat 23 Feb at14:00+16:30 at  Smithfield Market, D1<br \/>\n&#8211; Educating Rita on Thurs 21Feb at 17:30+19:45 at Trinity College Dublin<br \/>\nAll the listed screenings are free. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dubliniff.com\/screening_live.php\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.dubliniff.com\/screening_live.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p>KITESURFING &amp; SANDYACHTING<br \/>\nYou have never heard of either one of these sports? Or you have heard  about it but never really saw the masters ;-) at it? You have a great  opportunity this weekend! The Irish Powerkite and Sandyacht  Association is conducting a round of their National Championships on  Sat+Sun (16-17 Feb). In addition they provide an opportunity to join  in and learn about Kite Buggy racing, Kite Landboarding and  Sandyachting. The event will take place at Bettystown Beach and will  start at 11:00 on Saturday and finish at 17:00 on Sunday. See:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipksa.info\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.ipksa.info<\/a> Bettystown is a seaside town in Co. Meath, just a  little south of Drogheda. So strictly speaking this is beyond the  boundaries of the Greater Dublin Area which is the area for the Dublin  Event Guide. But since it is such a unique event, I decided to list it  this week.<\/p>\n<p>EXHIBITION &#8211; CONSTRUCTED DOCUMENTS<br \/>\nThe DIT School of Media is presenting Constructed Documents, an  exhibition of final year photography students. The show is a preview  to DIT graduate exhibition season and will showcase the work of four  undergraduate students and emerging artists.<br \/>\nThe show has been curated around the act of construction. The artists  have built their images from a number of different elements. Solving  and presenting equations of signs; coded and intriguing. The resulting  documents yield evidence. Information that conveys the artist\u2019s inner  thoughts and questions the contemporary experience.<br \/>\nThe artists are Jane McGarrigle, Daniel Graham, Niamh Grimes and  Daniel Holfeld.<br \/>\nThe exhibition will only run from 12 Feb-17 Feb, so you have to hurry  to see it! It will take place in the Temple Bar Cultural Information  Centre in 12 East Essex Street,<br \/>\nTemple Bar, Dublin 2 (Opposite Photographic Archive). Opening hours  are Mon-Fri: 09:00-17:30 \/ Sat: 10:00-17:30 \/ Sun: 12:00-15:00.<\/p>\n<p>______________________________<br \/>\n______Sunday __________________<\/p>\n<p>SUNDAY AT NOON &#8211; CLASSICAL MUSIC<br \/>\nStill continuing is the Hugh Lane Gallery&#8217;s Sunday at Noon.  Interestingly many readers of this Event Guide told me that they  regularly intend to go to it, but never made it. Dear Readers, if you  want to go, go soon! The Sunday at Noon will not be on forever AND you  are missing out EVERY week.<br \/>\nThis week the Sunday at Noon concert in the Hugh Lane Gallery (Parnell  Square North) is featuring William Butt (cello) and Archie Chen  (piano) and they are playing Bach, Beethoven and Schumann. The concert  starts at 12:00 and lasts one hour.<\/p>\n<p>GARDINER STREET GOSPEL CHOIR<br \/>\nEvery Sunday evening the Gardiner Street Gospel Choir sings during the  Gospel Mass in St. Francis Xavier Church in Gardiner Street (near the  junction with Dorset Street) from 19:30-20:30. Everybody is welcome  and while it is a mass, you don&#8217;t have to be catholic or religious to  enjoy the singing. This week, as a special treat, the Archdiocese of  Boston Black Catholic Choir will sing with the Gardiner Street Gospel  Choir and will do a mini-concert after the mass. Admission is free and  I expect it will be a great event. By the way, I am involved with the  Gardiner Street Gospel Choir, so I am slightly biased: They are  brilliant! ;-)<\/p>\n<p>INTERNATIONAL FILM CRITICISM<br \/>\nAs part of the Dublin International Film Festival, a panel of  distinguished film critics, journalists and commentators will discuss  the current state of criticism, film journalism and the intersection  of traditional film writing and blogging.<br \/>\nThe panellists are Todd McCarthy (Chief Film Critic, Variety), Jason  Solomons (Film Writer, The Observer),\u00a0 Ciaran Carty (Arts Editor, The  Sunday Tribune), Ted Sheehy (Film Correspondent), Michael Dwyer (Film  Correspondent, The Irish Times).<br \/>\nIf you are interested in attending this event please e-mail  <a href=\"mailto:events@dubliniff.com\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">events@dubliniff.com<\/a> stating International Criticism in the subject  line.

Returned  MSF aid workers will share their experience of providing independent  medical relief on the ground with MSF.

MSF is the  leading non-governmental organisation for emergency medical aid. The  1999 Nobel Peace Prize-winning agency provides independent medical  relief to victims of war, disasters and epidemics in 60 countries  around the world, treating those who need it most, regardless of  ethnic origin, religion or political affiliation.<br \/>\nThe event will take place in the Carmichael Centre (North Brunswick  St, Smithfield, Dublin 7) on Tues 19 Feb at 19:30. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.msf.ie\/\" class=\"moz-txt-link-abbreviated\">www.msf.ie<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>SCREEN CENSORSHIP &#8211; WORKSHOP<br \/>\nA promising talk\/event is &#8220;From Stopsign to Signpost: The Story of  Screen Censorhip in Ireland&#8221;, an event which is part of the Dublin  International Film Festival. Film Censor, John Kelleher, illustrates &#8211;  with movie clips, stills and posters &#8211; how his Office has changed from  its original remit as moral guardian of the nation to its present role  as provider of a consumer service for parents and the public.

On the occasion of the exhibition &#8220;Everything I loved formed  part of you (Todo cuanto am\u00e9 formaba parte de ti)&#8221;, the young Spanish  artists, Cova Mac\u00edas and Carlos T.

This has three reasons a) regular free events I only list every  few weeks instead of every week, b) Unfortunately many organisers of  musical events do not subscribe to the &#8220;Free is Good&#8221; idea and c)  Quite a number of events might or might not be free but the organisers  have chosen not to specify either. I can&#8217;t check all events and find  out if and why the organiser was so visitor-unfriendly and was  seemingly afraid to mention a price. So if I can&#8217;t find a clear &#8220;FREE&#8221;  label, I have to assume that the organiser wants to trick people into  coming before they admit to a price. All these events I have to leave  out.<br \/>\nIf you play\/sing in a band or if you know of a band that has free  concerts\/gigs, please let me (and the 700 people in the Dublin Event  Guide Community) know about it!<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the weekend!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Joerg<\/p>\n<p>**********************************************<br \/>\nDisclaimer: This Event Guide (the &#8220;Dublin Event Guide (for Free  Events)&#8221;) is an Event Guide with a difference.

The Guide is a <span class=\"moz-txt-underscore\"><span class=\"moz-txt-tag\">_<\/span>guide<span class=\"moz-txt-tag\">_<\/span><\/span> and not just a listing and is  sent to friends, colleagues and whoever else is interested.<br \/>\nIf you have feedback &#8211; good or bad &#8211; PLEASE tell me.
