HELLO, OFFSET IS BACk,

BIGGER & BETTER

THAN EVER! Once again we’ve invited world-class

creative talent to Ireland to showcase their

work, their ideas and their inspirations

alongside their Irish equivalents.

We also want to showcase Dublin

as the vibrant hub of creativity and

original thinking that it can be.

4–5 / OFFSET 2010

Once again we’ve invited world-class

creative talent to Ireland to showcase their

work, their ideas and their inspirations

alongside their Irish equivalents.

We also want to showcase Dublin

as the vibrant hub of creativity and

original thinking that it can be.

It’s not about being another industry

conference. It’s about the power of the

creative process and what happens

when you get great people together in a

room. We’ve selected people for whom

we have the utmost professional respect,

whose work inspires us and gets us excited

about our working lives but also people

we would love to spend time with.

Our programming very much reflects

our own varied creative interests and

because of that we hope it will be

of interest to anyone who believes

there’s always another way to solve a

problem than what has gone before,

those who don’t accept that everything

stays the same just because...

Our ambition for OFFSET and everything

we do is to create something that

challenges and inspires. There is a big

black cloud over the economy and over

all industries within the design world and

we really want OFFSET to be a beacon

of hope and a celebration of creativity.

With live inspiring presentations on the

main stage, debate, Q&A and discourse

in the second room and then engaging

offshoots around the venue and city all

week long we hope OFFSET can be

the spring board to get people

motivated to look to the future.

It’s time for our actions to speak louder

than our words. We have the potential,

the ideas, the energy, it’s just a matter

of making it happen.

Don’t forget to say hello over the weekend!

Bren, Richard and Peter.

Despite Your Face

Irish & International Street

Art from the Dublin Area

Over the past 5 years there has been an

explosion of street art worldwide and Ireland

has experienced a growing movement

with several international names creating

pieces in the city as well as local artists

developing into respected figures.

This collection hopes to present Irish and

international street art in the Dublin area.

It is by no means a complete overview

(as the scene is far bigger then anyone

can imagine), but instead is a snapshot of

an underground existing in Irish society.

The exhibition is made up of a gallery show

at Anewspace, specially commissioned

outdoor pieces and a series of walking

tour podcasts by Lauren Teeling & Rua

Meegan, the authors of ‘A Visual Feast;

Irish Street Art’ which is released in October

2010, & Jonathan Lynn from Anewspace

plus several of the participating artists.

Featuring works by Adw, Asbestos, Canvaz,

Conor Harrington, Cisto, Eelus, Eine,

I Love Lamps, Loki, Karma, Sums, Solus,

Maser, Morgan, Will St. Leger & Xpir.

New Works by Daniel Eatock

Daniel’s show will be a week long process

with two openings. It first opens Friday

24th September as part of Culture Night

with an empty gallery. At the end of the

evening a man on a high performance

motorbike will attempt to draw a perfect

circle in burnt rubber directly on the

gallery floor. In the days following, the

gallery will be used as a studio. Works

will be made and hung in relation to

the floor drawing in preparation for

the second opening on Thursday 30th

September as part of OFFSET2010.

Since Graduating from the Royal College

of Art in 1998, Eatock has flit between

subversive, idiosyncratic and occasionally

whimsical art projects, and commercial

work for the likes of The New York Times

and Channel 4. In collaboration with

Jeffery Vaska, Eatock developed the

ubiquitous website portfolio platform,

indexhibit. He works from London on

largely self-initiated projects.

For anybody who grew up listening to

watching on the big screen. It concerns

Bill Withers, who had a long string of chart

hits, from his signature Ain’t No Sunshine

(which opens the film), Grandma’s Hands,

Lean On Me, and others. In 1985, Bill

decided to end his career in the music

industry (but he never stopped writing or

playing music – just for his own pleasure).

LOVE WILL

SAVE THE

DAY

An exhibition of portraits

by Aidan Kelly

Robert Capa said that ‘If you’re photos

aren’t good enough, you’re not close

enough’. These portraits from Aidan Kelly

are a selection of works starting from around

1998 to today. Most are candid works

that shy away from posed set ups, trying

instead to catch the subject close up with

that glint in their eye or mid expression

whilst they go about their day. Days like

a very young Arveene at the Shelter, The

Super Furry Animals in the Ambassador,

Terry Hall in Solas or Candi Staton in the

ChoiceCuts office, are days to remember.

Aidan Kelly captures the essence of a

persons ‘good side’ and to show that

you can see this love and respect in their

eyes. Look, they don’t have to say it.

CLUB

The Irish leg of the 12th Annual Manhattan

Short that will take place at The Sugar

Club on October 3rd from 8pm as well

as over 200 cities across 6 continents.

With screenings being held across North &

South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and

Africa, the 12th Annual Manhattan Short

Festival is now officially the World’s First

Global Film Festival. The ten finalists films

will not only entertain a global audience but

will be judged by them as well. Audiences

at each venue will be asked to vote for

the one film that they think is best, with all

votes being sent through to Manhattan

Short HQ with the winner announced

on Sunday October the 3rd in NYC.

‘We started with one screen on the side

of a truck on a downtown Manhattan

Street twelve years ago. Seeing this

festival now taking place in over two

hundred cities across six continents in one

week is astounding’, said Manhattan

Short director Nicholas Mason.

This year there are ten shorts from ten

separate countries and they will unite an

audience of over one hundred thousand

people across six continents in one week.

Short films not only entertain but give a

wonderful insight into cultures, trends

and the goings on inside the world. I

can think of no better way to utilize the

power and craft of a short film than

‘Manhattan Short’, added Mason.

The Finalists for 2010:

Watching (UK), Push Bike (Australia),

Underground (Mexico),

A Little Inconvenience (Canada),

Party (Croatia), Echo (Poland),

Madagascar (France),
