I came across this website while looking for some information on the War Memorial in Bray. Our Signal artists may find it a useful resource. The podcast I was interested in was about the two volunteers who kept the Memorial clean and presentable. But there are many other facets to this wensite. Check it out!

PROTEST FOR CHINESE ARTIST AI WEIWEI OUTSIDE CHINESE EMBASSY, APRIL17 AT 1PM -2PM
Amanda Ralph, artist and teacher, is assisting the organisation of a peaceful protest outside the Chinese Embassy on Sunday, April 17 · 1:00pm - 2:00pm
Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Ireland
40 Ailesbury Road, Ballsbridge
Creative Time and A Prior magazine have put out a call for people to bring a chair and sit peacefully outside Chinese embassies in support of the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei's immediate release this Sunday April 17th. Ai Weiwei has been detained by the Chinese government since April 3rd on suspicion of economic crimes.
The form of Sunday’s planned protest — in which participants will bring chairs and sit down outside Chinese government buildings around the world — draws on an installation titled “Fairytale: 1001 Qing Dynasty Wooden Chairs,” which Mr. Ai did at Documenta in Kassel, Germany, in 2007. In it, he arranged 1,001 late Ming and Qing Dynasty wooden chairs around the exhibition.
All artists should really think about supporting this protest, it is really important for lots of people to show up at the Chinese embassy in support of this very brave and controversial artist.

FRIEDA KAHLO AND DIEGO RIVERA AT IMMA
A must see for every artist..Frida Kahlo Diego Rivera: Masterpieces of the Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection is at Imma until June 26th. Both Kahlo and Rivera were virtuoso mythmakers. Hence the enjoyable – if, occasionally, dizzying – sense of being batted back and forth as you walk around the exhibition.
