Paris Photo

It’s that time of the year again, the venerable Paris Photo rolls around. November is always a nice time in Paris as Autumn has finished, the dull dreary muted cityscape appears which I find strangely fascinating. It’s quieter and usually mild as winter has not yet set in.

Dates: Thursday 19th November – Sunday 22nd November, 2009
Opening: Wednesday 18th November 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm (by invitation only)

Venue: Carrousel du Louvre, 99 rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, France

Bad Art Gallery Dublin, Ireland 14th May 2009

I have a few pieces in the show this  year. Former Prime Minister Bertie Ahern opened the show  which certainly created a buzz on Francis St. Great opening night party with revelers spilling out on to the street. The show runs for a month.

If you can pop by and have a look – 79 Francis St. Dublin 8, Ireland.

The street has developed into the city’s art barrio, so you can see  quite an variety of visual art, as there are several galleries.
