‘Adapted Perception’ Residency

Alan-James Burns

Burns’ three week residency in Exchange Gallery will be employed to develop performance based work exploring his interests in the habitual acts of a socially conditioned living and way of thinking. Exploiting the exposed nature of the gallery, Burns will explore the passer-by reception to various acts and actions to compose a number of performances throughout his stay. Burns’ residency will conclude with a performance on Culture Night September 24th, 2010.

Exchange Words at Exchange Dublin, presents the four of our monthly comedy events. Marshmallow Ladyboy Jesus 4 – All Your Sins, is an evening of blasphemous experimental comedy from some of Ireland’s most talented writers, comedians and storytellers.

So far our events have played host to a variety of ludicrous performances…

This months guests include:

Kevin Gildea is a comedian, writer, actor described by the Guardian as ‘quirky’, ‘innovative,’ ‘creative’ and ‘pioneering’ and by The Sunday Times as ‘highly original and explosively funny’. He is familiar to TV viewers from his appearance in Father Ted and RTE’s ‘The View’. His bleakly hilarious comic fiction brings to mind Flann O’Brien, as performed by David Sedaris.

Narrative Arts Oh-Aissieux is one of the foremost figures in the Irish storytelling revival. As one half of Dublin’s Narrative Arts Club he’s been telling ancient stories in a modern idiom at Irish and international festivals since 2005.

Performance artist Philippe Senouci was the most exciting thing about the recent NCAD end of year show. His Beckettian nightmare piece ‘Performing Abjection’ was both hilarious and frightening. We look forward to his unpredictable contribution to the evening.

Film maker and ‘Milk & Cookies Stories’ star storyteller Thomas Rowley is the man behind the new Storymap Dublin project. His anecdotes of romantic misadventure are helping to popularise American style comedic storytelling in Dublin.

Marshmallow Ladyboy Jesus is curated and hosted by Gareth Stack. Gareth is a writer and comedian who has performed standup comedy around Ireland, assistant edited Trinity College Dublin’s satirical magazine Piranha, and produced the popular ‘Invisible Tour Guide’ and ‘Technolotics’ podcast series.

As part of Graffitti Summer camp – for education of a whole new generation of spray-can wielding minors, middlings and seniors, Exchange will be showing the 1983 documentary Style Wars.

All Ages – Free In – All welcome.

“Some call it tagging, some call it writing, still others call it bombing–it’s all graffiti. Whether it’s art or not is another matter, but it’s undeniably illegal. Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant’s historic PBS documentary Style Wars tracks the rise and fall of subway graffiti in New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At the peak of its popularity, graffiti was as much a part of B-boy culture as rapping, scratching, and breaking. The filmmakers present a sympathetic, but well-rounded portrait of their subject through extensive interviews with taggers–notably Seen, Kase, and Dondi–art collectors, transit authorities, and even Mayor Ed Koch, who would eventually put the hammer down. Along the way, they documented the burgeoning breakdance scene, with a focus on the world-famous Rock Steady Crew. The soundtrack features selections from Grandmaster Flash, the Treacherous Three, and other tagger-approved icons of old-school hip-hop.”
