The Museum of Everything

I went to this exhibition recently and thought I'd share it. I love the concept and the collection itself ranges from really weird to a certain type of wonderful!

The Museum of Everything is the world’s only travelling museum for the undiscovered, unintentional and untrained artists of the 19th, 20th and 21st Centuries, with over 300,000 visitors since its creation in 2009.

The Museum of Everything works with leading international artists, curators and thinkers.

In October 2012, The Museum of Everything presents Exhibition #1.1 in Paris at The Chalet Society, the radical new art project helmed by Marc-Olivier Wahler, former Director and Chief Curator of Le Palais de Tokyo.

Sharp Suits - A Creative Catharsis exhibition

This sounds like a fun exhibition for anyone who's ever had to deal with a client from hell and their soul crushing requests.

Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo at the Irish Museum of Modern Art

This show is on at the moment, went by today some really beautiful Kahlo pieces, some Rivera, they don't do him justice but interesting none the less. It was quite exciting for me as I wrote my Degree and Masters paper on Mexican Muralists and the American Art scene in the 1930's, which both of these artist left an indelible mark on. The 1930's are a period in the America's history that I find fascinating and if I could exist somewhere else but now it would be then or the wild west of course. It's on till june and costs 5 euro. go see.  

Saul Bass exhibition

If you happen to be in London over the next month there's an exhibition of Saul Bass' film posters, film titles and film festival posters on in Kemistry Gallery in Shoreditch that seems well worth a look.

Tinderbox at Independents Day and an idea

Hi everybody! Here's a picture of Tinderbox at Independents Day. Elida's wonderful headphones creation to listen to the Heartstrings Collective drawings' songs were popular!
Click below for some more photos of the day:

STALLS SLIDE SHOW

ACTS SLIDE SHOW

ART EXHIBITION SLIDESHOW: myself and Elida had entries in it. I wonder if it would be possible to have a Tinderbox entry for another year, may be with people submitting one work each around a certain topic? Or we could also try at another exhibition place somewhere else. I've been looking around the web and found this place, seems quite good:
Ormond Studios

I could check out how much it would be and if everybody taking part chips in a bit it should be quite affordable. If anybody else has any suggestions for an exhibition space, put in a comment here. My idea is for this exhibition to include any type of art: photography, illustration, film (if the space can accommodate screenings), anything, as long as it's all around whichever topic we choose! Post any ideas you might have about this on the blog please.

Another idea would be to do the exhibition based around Jane's wonderful Heartstrings Collective song drawings project, which already produced such great work for Independents Day (scroll down the posts please) and opening it to further submissions by photographers and other kinds of artists. What do you think about it Jane?

Till next time. May be I'll meet quite a few of you at the Photography Auction in aid of Alzheimers (see my previous post)!

Mantaviva [lifeblanket]

We entered this strip to an EU competition, which theme was living in the European Union.
The comic has three panels where you can see a sequence of action. Most of the actions revolve around removing borders/walls and making something different with it. The panel distribution is a variation on a map of Europe, turned 90 degrees aCW. I drew the characters, Eoghan defined the colours, the black frames and half the actions. There is exchange of culture, people fishing in someone else's waters, a new country/person springing from nowhere, someone eating fruit from their neighbours' tree, a ganja closet-farm, a huge love story, and a lot more going on in Europe. My favourite is the pair who go from hachet war to coffee and chat.

Stanley Kubrick: Taming Light

Graffiti artists or mural painters wanted

Anybody know any good graffiti artists or mural painters?

This is not a shop (the gallery space that we are using for the exhibition) have offered us the use of their shutter to promote the exhibition. The Luas stops right outside the door so it’s potentially a brilliant opportunity to raise awareness of our show and our network.

Any volunteers?

It's Official!

The dates for the first Tinderbox Network group show "Storytelling" have been confirmed.
The Venue is "This is not a Shop" on Benburb Street, Dublin.
We have the space from Monday 19th to Monday 26th of October.
• set up on Monday and Tuesday
• show to open on 21/22th Wednesday or Thursday (feedback on this please)
• the show will close on Sunday evening and to be taken down on Monday 26th, which is a bank holiday.

So... now. The nitty gritty. We need to raise some funding money. I'm currently working on a proposal letter requesting financing / sponsorship. I need you guys to suggest potential sponsors or to approach people you believe would be willing to contribute a few bob / services. The companies / people who contribute sponsorship money will be promoted and thanked on the night as well as being included on any promotional efforts.

We need to pay for
1. the renting of the space
2. wine and nibbles for the opening
3. promotional material (ie flyers with reference to sponsors)

Those wishing to take part in the exhibition need to get in touch with me as soon as possible. I need to know how many of you will be taking part and how many pieces you'd like to submit so that the space will be used to it's full potential. email: tinderboxnetwork (@) gmail.com

This is your show guys, it will only be what YOU make it.
