COMPRESSION continues our rampage of opening alternative spaces in Dublin City to new audiences through multidisciplinary exploration!!

NEW MAP UNLOCKED - The RHA Galley! As one of Ireland’s most prestigious Art Institutions, we’re honoured to be given this opportunity to takeover! With complementary cans from @whiplashbeer ❤️

WHO ARE YOU WEARING?!?
Whether you’re at a Gallery Opening or a Sweaty Rave something that links these worlds is fashion trends and styles. We wanted to highlight this by curating an event bringing local Designers, Dancers, Models, DJs, Musicians & Audiences together to see what we can create as one!

With over 25+ Artists involved throughout, we want to push the boundaries for night life events! And we’re super excited to share this experience with you at the RHA GALLERY !! (Like Girlies we’ve MADE it!)

Fusing Visual Art both in Gallery and Fashion worlds with Electronic Music and Movement. With beautiful Soundsystems from - @rubadubhifi

SATURATION - As part of our Hi-Five Series; A Seated Experience of Sound, Dance and Voice (80mins) At The Pepper Canister Church. Was a one night only seated experience of sound, dance, voice and visuals. A collaboration of different disciplines coming together in a beautiful harmony for a special performance.

Electronic music married with acoustic instrumentation while movement and voice enhanced the audience experience further. A different take on a Dublin Modular event that takes elements of club culture and theatre performance. Continuous showcase of sound artists, performing and creating a semi improvised score for contemporary improve dancers.

We focused on that network of friends and loved ones that share mutual support, acceptance, and understanding they may not receive from their biological families. Through open calls and community activeness we invited and approached local queer & underrepresented artists to contribute to our Pride Yard Party.

Poster Inspiration - “Area” was a themed nightclub that operated from 1983 to 1987 at 157 Hudson Street in Manhattan, New York City. It was a hot spot for celebrities and luminaries of the New York art scene. The club was known for its unusual invitations and changing themes. From its inception, the club became known for its creative invitations. 5,000 invitations were sent in capsules for the September 1983 opening. Receiving a velvet ring box in the mail. Inside, they found a single blue capsule with accompanying instructions not to consume the pill, but to dissolve it in hot water, where a cellophane invitation would float to the surface. That's HOT!

While the performances are happening there will be scheduled live (in real time) visual art works going on too. Painting, drawing, audio visuals, Fashion collection making and more.
