ARTica PRESENTS:

OCTOPUS GROUP EXHIBITION

D-light, North Great Clarence Street, Dublin 1

Opening reception
Thursday, 26 November, 7pm – 9pm

Exhibition open for public
27 November – 3 December, 9 am – 6 pm

ARTica is honoured to present the exhibition of Octopus Group. The exhibition will be held in D-light Studios, from 26th November to 3rd December. Once again Mrs. Agata Szumowska, the Wife of the Polish Ambassador to Ireland agreed to be an honorary patron of the event organized by ARTica. Exhibition is kindly supported by Dublin City Council.

Octopus Group is an informal association of six visual artists linked to Academy for Fine Art in Katowice, Poland: Bartek Buczek, Michał Gayer, Szymon Kobylarz, Marta Lisok, Maciej Nawrot and Michał Smandek. The group with its secret, internal codes has not aimed at creating common works. It’s been more like a mafia structure – created to broaden contacts and influences, generating impulses. “Octopus is a group of people who are supporting each other at creating art. Where there is no impulse for an action we have to provoke it”. Although very young members of Octopus Group have already had some very prestigious exhibitions in the best galleries in Poland. ARTica wants now to introduce their works to the international audience of Dublin.

The works to be presented in Dublin are very different, consisting of paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations and videos. The link between them will be their subjects – things that are impossible to define. Space, unidentified objects, black holes, unexplained facts… Mystery and myth.

Join us to discover what is usually hidden from your eyes.

Peter Pans by 50% Male Experimental Theatre

D-light Studios will host 50% Male Experimental Theatre with their performance; ‘Peter Pans’ on the 19, 20, 21, 22 of November.

Choreographed by Anna Gáciarz, Peter Pans explores the syndrome of the same name, a generation of people who don’t want to grow up, who find it difficult to express love. Peter Pans – people with the body of an adult but the mind of a child.

Peter Pans is a combination of physical theatre and contemporary dance theatre technique.

This debut performance by an experimental dance/theatre company, comprises of 3 male and 3 female performers with wildly different back-stories, complimentary skills and a tendency to crack up at tender, ‘sensitive’ moments. They are from Poland and Ireland. They are dancers (and stilt-walkers), office workers and visual artists. The group first got together in February 2009 and found they had an amazing chemistry; their months of work has resulted in this universal tale about a certain generation of people (their generation) who don’t want to grow up; a generation of Peter Pans...

Come over to D-light Studios, Dublin1 and immerse yourself in an amazing spectacle that tells a story we have all have experienced in people we know or, even more so, in ourselves.

Shows start at 8pm sharp and tickets at the price of €10 are available online at peterpans.d-lightstudios.com and in the box office.

Don’t forget; this week at D-light Studios is the exhibition ‘SHE’, a joint exhibition of 6 Artists – women, whose aim is to show women’s art but most of all to disclose the nature of women in the World today. This is also an experiment and questions how a woman sees another woman, what attracts and repels her. The exhibition is applicable to both genders, we can discover something about ourselves in this very mysterious femininity.

During the exhibition and opening the visitors will enjoy various artistic forms such as paintings, graphics, drawings, photography, collages, sculptures, and theatre performances, live music and a DJ.

Time: 7pm

Cost: 5 euro
