	Between Metaphor and Object: Art of the 90s from the IMMA CollectionIrish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin @ 12:00 Art • Information	Mar 17, 2010 €0
Between Metaphor and Object features a range of works from the IMMA Collection, primarily sculptures and installation works from the 1990s. It provides perspectives on the diversity of practice that is represented in the IMMA Collection from this period, explores its particularities, and considers them in the context of international trends of the decade. The title of the exhibition references perceived polarities in art since the 1960s and also proposes the idea of the continuous flux visited upon artworks in the mind of the viewer between symbolism and objecthood. Notably the exhibition incorporates a number of pieces from the Weltkunst Collection, which is on loan to IMMA since 1994. This significant collection of British sculpture and drawings of the 1980s and ‘90s will return to the Weltkunst Foundation in 2010 and the exhibition acknowledges the generous loan of these works.

	Dinosaur EncounterAmbassador Theatre, Dublin @ 10:00 Exhibition • Information	Mar 17, 2010 €10
Nobody has ever seen a living dinosaur, but scientists can give us a good idea of what they looked like and how they moved. We often imagine dinosaurs as colossal flesh-eating beasts that lived on our planet for an incredible 160 million years. Some were indeed gigantic, but many were only as heavy as a Labrador dog and many were vegetarian! Did you know that the Ornithomimus could run faster than an Olympic sprinter? See how the sociable Triceratops lived in herds, caring for and protecting their young. Meet Dilophosaurus, a relative of the first dinosaur found in Scotland. Come face to face with the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the fiercest land predators ever known. This massive animatronic model, 4 metres tall and 7 metres long, is so lifelike you’ll think it’s the real thing! Walk past the head of a hungry Tyrannosaurus and watch as his terrifying jaws go SNAP!

	ESB Feis CeoilRDS, Dublin @ 09:00 Folk • Information	Mar 17, 2010

	The Tinker's CurseBewley's Cafe Theatre, Dublin @ 13:00 Theatre • Information	Mar 17, 2010 €15
Includes light lunch. Emer O'Kelly of the Sunday Independent wrote: "a heart-searing, heart-searching piece of work, provoking tears and haunting the soul. If it doesn't live in dramatic memory, we have neither folk memory nor capacity for pity..... Harding's performance is nothing short of glorious -- a piece of sustained dramatic economy that is performance art of soaring, incandescent strength. Every gesture tells, every step is measured, every pause significant, every subtle change of tone adding to a threnody for a dying soul.....If audiences are not hanging out of the rafters in future venues, there is no soul for drama in Ireland."

	Trad SessionThe Mercantile, Dublin @ 12:00 Folk • Information	Mar 17, 2010 Free Event

	Trashed! Noize Paddy's DayAndrew's Lane Theatre, Dublin @ 16:00 DJ • Information	Mar 17, 2010 €8 Buy Tickets

	What Happens Next Is A SecretIrish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin @ 12:00 Art • Information	Mar 17, 2010 Free Event
This is an experimental exhibition which attempts to addresses the question of what happens when artworks become part of a collection and are subsequently shown in many different contexts. Working from a potential list of works, the artworks will be changed during the course of the exhibition, with removal of artworks generating absences which call to mind gaps in our memory and point to the partially hidden nature of Museum collections. Additions of works will draw out new and perhaps unexpected associations, and new narratives will emerge within the overall structure of the exhibition. Other strategies such as repositioning works within the exhibition will be used to alter the pace of the exhibition. A list of these potential works will not be disclosed in advance.
