We set out to do a top 5 design events in The Liberties for Culture Night but seeing as this is Dublin’s premier design district and home to Ireland’s Arts & Antiques Quarter we failed to select just 5. Instead we’ve whittled the list down to 8. Even that was a challenge, phew!

Diagrams, curated by Belfast-based academic Niamh McDonnell, is a mixed media show of work by 7 Irish and Northern Irish artists based in Belfast, Dublin and London, comprising lens-based media, drawings, paintings and sculptures. The exhibition sees each artist using the diagram to describe a previous work or to make a preliminary sketch for a new work. The show explores how the dynamic space of the diagram visualizes different sets of relations between elements and so generates multiple reading narratives.

Working in a board range of media, including painting, drawing, video and installation, Lee Kit professedly travels with little other than his inherent cultural references, allowing his superbly sensitive practice to reflect a spontaneity of combining found or chosen objects with an emotional response to the world he finds immediately before him.
