EDANN! 14 - I saw you from behind 04/08/10 Full of Win Whose Museum / Collapsing Opposites  3th August - 22nd August      Whose Museum formed in 2008 when Canadian nerd-rock band, Collapsing Opposites, began collecting items from their audiences at shows. Since then the collection has continued to expand and transform with each new venue, meandering between material source and archive, as artists and curators have been invited to alter works into various exhibitions, paintings, animations, sculptures and installations. Following their most recent forays on tour, Collapsing Opposites will transform Exchange Gallery into a recording studio gone laboratory, where they will capture their new material while attempting to combine the items in the collection into one semi-cohesive entity. For the duration of the show visitors will be encouraged to add to the collection.   A Collapsing Opposites gig will follow the exhibition - location and date TBA. Whose Museum Website Collapsing Opposites MySpace Milk And Cookies After Dark Doors 8.30pm, Friday August 13th, The Basement @ Clarendon Street     This months Milk and Cookies leaves the reassuring confines of Exchange Dublin, popping over the city to the Clarendon House basement (on Clarendon St, off Wicklow St).   DANCE! Milk & Cookie Stories are proud to announce our next event, well – our next event is something a bit special. This is Milk & Cookies – After Dark. It is Friday August 13th, in the Clarendon Basement on Clarendon Street. Doors are at 8.30pm. the show starts at 9.30pm, it’s €5 in, and we will go on until late. That’s LATE. After 9 unbroken months of stories, milk & cookies – we felt everyone could do with letting their hair down a little. I mean, everyone’s so nice. So we decided to put together something a little different. Milk & Cookies – After Dark is a basement party, set over two stages with bands (soulful, funky, jazzy bands), comedians (good ones), poets, dancers, DJ’s and of course, lots of good old fashioned storytellers (because that’s just what we do). And weirder things too, but we’re a little loathe to spoil them at this point. Just trust us – you haven’t seen much like this before. So – write it down, get yourself dressed impressive and come get a little rowdy with everyone. We’ll still have some slots for open mic storytelling available, so if you have a story, especially one that you maybe shouldn’t tell in polite company, we want to hear from you. Similarly though, if you have a strange little talent or performance piece you’re just dying to share with the world (think the wonderful Liana tearing a phonebook in half at M&C IX), be it contortionism, brainwashing, anything suitably impressive and more than a little unusual – we are absolutely dying to make friends and give you an audience to embarrass yourself in front of. If this sounds like your calling please drop us a line – leave us a comment below, or check out our Facebook page, our email address or Twitter. Hell, smoke signal if you like. We probably won’t be able to read it, but we’re not picky. To the line-up! The Jazzberries Jon Dots Miranda Al-Raad Jewel Clarke Roger Gregg The Glen Coco Experience Gareth Stack Mr. Balloonatic DJ Pipboy of Hooligan Disco   This will evolve and grow as we add more and more to the list – you can also find links to most of these amazing people’s webpages with a few exploratory clicks. Believe us when we say we have standards, and that these standards are high. If you haven’t heard of someone on this bill, it’s because you are about to, soon. Keep checking back for more updates. And a couple of notes – the event is BYOB, so please be responsible. If beer is your poison, try and make it cans instead of bottles. We are not selling alcohol at this event, and although there is no age limit as such, please be advised that this event is for mature audiences only. Rest assured though, we’re still bringing the cookies. Could use a party? We know you could. Because Milk & Cookies ’s ♥’s you! Exhibition: Maria De La Rosa Soriano 7PM, Thursday, 9th August   Maria de la Rosa Soriano is an artist from Granada Spain, whose practise in a variety of media examines dreamlike new dimensions of reality. Through her innovative use of color and materials, her ancestral yet alive work creates an undeniable invitation to touch, to apply all of the senses. Soriano's work offers a voyage, leaving the spectator to choose where the experience takes them. This exhibition consist of six pieces, using the agressive colors and powerful strokes characteristic of the artist, combining different elements, and recreates the artistic chaos resulting from the exploration of an unfamiliar city. Bye Buy My Life Sale Saturday 14th August, 3PM - 6PM As some of you will already know, Anna, one of Exchange's dearest compatriots is moving away. Since she definitely won't be able to bring it all with her, she has decided to sell off lots of her clothes, books, magazines and a couple of extra strange things. She has excellent taste so you know it's all good! There'll be lots of other stalls too selling cakes, clothes, DVDs, records and other wonderful things!... So come, bag a bargain, say bye and buy (some part of) Anna's life. Or part of someone else's.

NORTHERN IRELAND SCREEN RETURNS Ł22 MILLION TO LOCAL ECONOMY IN 2009/10

Northern Ireland Screen's latest annual report for the year 2009-2010 is published at the same time as cameras start to roll in Belfast on HBO’s Game of Thrones, a television series which is said to be one of the largest ever to shoot in Europe. The report encapsulates the agency’s achievements, cultural highlights and educational successes of the past 12 months.

Bucking the recession, in the past year Northern Ireland Screen’s main production investment fund (financed by Invest NI and part funded by the European Regional Development Fund) returned Ł22 million to the local economy at a ratio of 5.5:1, on an investment of Ł3.9 million. Your Highness (pictured), a major feature film from Universal Pictures, which shot in the Paint Hall and various other locations around Northern Ireland brought in Ł11.78 million of this.

Northern Ireland Screen’s Education Department, Irish Language Broadcast Fund and the exhibition sector all performed strongly over the past year.
