• Prasad Multi-Media exhibition by Susan Montgomery From Tuesday 13th to Sunday 25th May 2008 Signal Arts Centre is pleased to announce the first solo show in Wicklow of Bray native Susan Montgomery. Susan's work is featured in private and public collections both here and abroad, including Trinity College and First National Bank. Now living in Cork, Susan divides her time between living rurally and travelling, mainly in India, which has strongly influenced this new body of work. Here she leaves much to happenstance, both technically and conceptually, creating layers which both hide and reveal the references she is making to history, religion, Sanskrit poetry and nature itself. Part travelogue, part nature study the result of which invites the viewer to face paradoxes and form their own narratives. Opening Reception: Tuesday 13th May 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. Gallery Opening Hours: Tuesday to Friday: 10am – 1pm/2pm – 5pm Saturday/Sunday: 12pm - 5pm , Prasad, Signal Arts Centre, 1 Albert Avenue, Bray, Co Wicklow, runs 13 May to 25 May

• ne dick,selected films Introduction The National Sculpture Factory is honoured to facilitate Vivienne Dick introducing her work to a Cork audience as part of Films in the Mezz. Her anti-aesthetic ethic is indicative of the punk movement and the first video-making when video came out as a new accessible medium for artists. In some ways there has been a contemporary return to this aesthetic through you-tube and mobile phone film-making as well as nostalgia for directness and need for democratic representation in the age of big budget special effects film-making. In essence this is the DIY spirit of punk. , films in the mezz, national sculpture factory,albert rd, cork, runs 20 to date unspecified

• PALIMPSEST 2 Painting exhibition by Ken Browne From Tuesday 27th May to Sunday 6th June 2008 Ken Browne was born in south inner city Dublin, Ireland. From an early age he developed a passion for music that he later translated into art. Ken is a self-taught artist and has been painting full time for the past 10 years. For Ken music is a way of expressing himself emotionally and will always remain an important influence. This collection of paintings by Ken Browne was influenced by the music of Estonion composer, Arvo Part, and specifically the recording of Spiegel im Spiegel (Mirror in the Mirror) from 1978. This beautiful classical piece created for piano and violin is the visualisation of looking into a mirror and another one directly behind the looker creating a hall of mirrors effect. The beautifully crafted piece of music has brought Ken to produce this wonderful collection of abstract paintings. Autumnal colours abound in these creations giving the sense of inner calm and peace. Kandinsky wrote that when he saw colour he heard music and the importance of music to the artists’ craft should not be underestimated. Opening Reception: Thursday 29th May 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. Gallery Opening Hours: Tuesday to Friday: 10am – 1pm/2pm – 5pm Saturday/Sunday: 12pm - 5pm , Palimpsest 2, Signal Arts Centre, 1 Albert Avenue, Bray, Co Wicklow, runs 27 May to 6 June
