“The future is bright, as if the sun were about to explode.
Howl, howl, howl now, howl into the hole.” - Icarus Crane
THITH invites proposals from established and emerging artists who are interested in having a platform for once off performances, screenings, installations, live art demonstrations etc in any medium, ideally designed for only one showing. Musicians who would like to try something different in front of an appropriate audience are also encouraged to take part, not just visual artists. This format leaves plenty of room for experiments, works in progress and improvisations - the sharing of ideas in raw form.
The first event was held at The Shed, Dublin on January 28th (video clip above), the next event's venue and date will be announced here soon.
Proposals will be accepted continuously until otherwise stated here. Proposals can be made by emailing a brief description of the proposed work along with supporting images, videos and sounds to aroomforimprovement@gmail.com
