Mystero - Irish Georgian Society DUBLIN
An evening with Giulio Julyo D'agostino at the Octagonal Room, Saturday 25th April, 7pm
It is the second collaboration between Giulio Julyo D'agostino and the Olivier Cornet Gallery: Much to the delight of the audience, Julyo performed his music during the showing of our touring group show 'A Terrible Beauty' at the Octagonal Room with other members of the Irish Composers Collective.
Julyo has found an extremely interesting connection with Jordi's current work and research since Julyo invented and patented (in 2006) an instrument called the photosonic guitar, the first patented color-sound instrument.
The Olivier Cornet Gallery has invited Julyo to perform on his classical guitar and custom made mandola on Saturday 25th April, 7pm, at the Octagonal Room.
This is a free performance but booking is recommended
You can find out more about the artist on

VAI Get Together 2019 - Experiment
Get Together is Ireland's National Day for Visual Artists and this year it took place at TU Dublin, Grangegorman on Friday 14th of June. The programme included Panel Discussions, Artists Speak, Visual Artists Café, Speed Curating and Specialist Clinics.
Get Together 2019 took its theme from the belief that we, as artists, must always have the right to experiment.
The Visual Artists Café was an area where Arts Organisations and Artist’s Support Agencies gathered to provide information about their services, while catching up with friends old and new.
Throughout the day there there were presentations by exemplary artists speaking about their work in the Artist Speak series. We heard from artists Dan Shipsides, Mary Duffy, Basil Al-Rawi, Cecilia Danell, Victor Sloane, Margaret Tuffy, Comhghall Casey, Tinka Bechert.
In the video you will see artists showing their work to curators and specialists in Speed Curating and Clinics.
What is Speed Curating?
Ever wish you could get a chance to sit down with a curator to introduce yourself and show them your work? At Speed Curating 40 of the top curators in Ireland are waiting for you to do just that.
Before booking, you have the chance to read about the curators in the programme and decide who to meet. On the day, you have 10 minutes to talk about what you’re working on, how you think you could work together or just introduce them to your practice.
This fast-paced but friendly environment offers a chance for curators to meet artists they might never have come across, or to see new bodies of work in development. Multiple exhibitions and working relationships have developed from VAI’s Speed Curating events, and everyone walks away feeling the benefit of having discussed their practice with fellow professionals.
What are Specialist Clinics?
Do you have an area in your practice you need help with or would just like some advice on where to go next? Get help in 20-minute one-on-one meetings with experts in their field. Whether you want to know where to start after a gap in your practice, would like to know how you can take your career to the next stage, or would just like someone to review your work or your website and give you feedback, Clinics offer focused time to do this. To get the most out of the session, you can send questions in advance, as well as information about your work.
