Exhibition at the LAB 

The LAB on Foley Street, Dublin 1, presents Illusions of Love Dyed by Sunset, a solo exhibition of new work by Bassam Al Sabah, including sculpture, painting and video.

The work grapples with the broadcasted image, taking reference from Arabic dubbed Japanese anime series, which were broadcast across the Middle East from the 1980s onwards and were a staple backdrop to the artist’s childhood in Iraq.

Market at St Anne’s Park  

The St Anne’s Park Red Stables Market takes place every Saturday in Raheny from 10am to 4pm.

Leeds United Legends

TWO top international soccer legends who played for the great Don Revie Leeds United side of the ‘60s and ‘70s are coming to Dublin on Wednesday, March 21.

Super striker Allan ‘Sniffer’ Clarke and long serving defender Paul ‘Speedy’ Reaney will be at East Side Tavern at 7.30pm where they’ll spend the evening talking to fans, answering questions and signing autographs.

The night will be MC’d by Today FM and TV3 broadcaster Matt Cooper, who is a Leeds United supporter. Tickets costing €17 are available on Eventbrite.ie.

Double Vision

Diana Copperwhite is a painter who explores the relationship between colours, gestures, figuration and representation. She amalgamates images from the internet, photographs, and real life, unifying these sources in paintings that critically assess the medium’s ability to represent images, sensations, and ideas.

Shirley Copperwhite is a surface designer. She gets her ideas from looking at patterns imagined and real. Whether it’s leaves falling or brickwork interlocking she looks at the everyday and reduces it into colourful surreal patterns for use in her printed surfaces. Both artists’ work is now on show at dlr Lexicon.

Together We Shine

This is a new original show incorporating some well known musical numbers and starring a wonderful cast of children from the Power Drama School Lusk.

The story follows the lives of Rose & Jimmy, two friends separated by two continents as they pursue their dreams. This heart-warming story is full of uplifting & moving musical numbers.

It’s happening in Draiocht in Blanchardstown on Saturday March 24 at 2pm and 7.30pm. Tickets cost €16 from Draiocht.ie.

FAKE: THE REAL DEAL? 

From biomimicry to forged documents, from scandals to substitutes, FAKE, the new free exhibition at Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, asks when authenticity is essential, when copying is cool, and what the boundary is between a fakery faux-pas and a really fantastic FAKE. The exhibition is now on and is running until June 3.

The full list of exhibits is available at dublin.sciencegallery.com/fake.
