Project Arts Centre
Our next exhibition the group show A MacGuffin and Other Things is presented by guest curator, Vaari Claffey. Using a mix of video, sculptural installations and performance the artists will investigate the idea of 'MacGuffin', an object that features in a film and serves to keep the plot moving despite at first appearing to lack real importance.

Ongoing Event - (Ends June 23 2012)
Project Arts Centre
Coinciding with the exhibition A MacGuffin and Some Other Things, Project Arts Centre continues its new experimental Grotto series, with an installation by David Fagan entitled Sensation. Fagan works with the idea of a 'dirty work' - an object that is aesthetically pleasurable and ready for display, but that is also self-consciously underdeveloped as a finished artwork.
In this way, Fagan poses the question: 'how and where does one display a guilty pleasure?' Engaging with the idea of the cabinet as a less salubrious, low-rent space, Fagan re-imagines it as prime real estate for a peepshow. More

Hotbuckle explodes onto the stage with this new, innovative adaptation of one of Dickens' greatest novels. With all the comedy, mystery, violent melodrama, suspense and poignancy of the original, it tells of Pip's journey from boyhood to manhood as he seeks to discover who he is and find his place in an inhospitable world.
It is a story of love and loss, of guilt and shame, of fear and courage and has some of the most vivid and memorable characters in all of English literature. With the bicentenary of Dickens' birth in 2012, this electrifying, exhilarating and moving production is a must-see.

With special guest Barry McCormack
The Spook of the Thirteenth Lock is music from Dublin, Ireland. Named after a poem about a haunted canal lock, The Spook play in the Irish folk tradition delving into the realms of psych, prog and post rock. Sometimes a single player, a folk trio or a full electric band, the Spook have a unique take on the idea of Irish folk rock, making the familiar sound innovative, the ancient new, and the local sound universal.

Tinariwen are guitar-poets from the southern Sahara desert and icons of freedom and resistance among their own people, the nomadic Tuareg of the Sahara. Their back-story has been described as 'dramatic' (The Independent), 'the most compelling of any band' (Songlines) and 'the most rock 'n' roll of them all' (The Irish Times). Tinariwen's rolling, yearning grooves and uncompromising messages of simplicity and freedom, distilled over many years of struggle, rebellion and exile, have brought them countless accolades and the attention of such high-profile fans as Robert Plant, Carlos Santana, Brian Eno, Damon Albarn, Chris Martin and Thom Yorke, as well as the enduring respect of their own people.
