Pádraig Burke:  I am really looking forward to seeing the amazing Earlsfort terrace venue’s transformation as the hub of the exhibition, I am also looking forward to many of the artists work, but in particular Lisa Yuskavage, William Powhida, Guy Richards Smit, the wonderful Bruce High Quality Foundation, Omer Fast, MASER and Niamh O’Malley.

Bronagh Murphy: is very excited about the impending beginning of Dublin Contemporary. Especially if the launch was anything to go by. It’ll be like living in a desperately cool city for eight weeks. Most looking forward to meeting the 15 foot porcelain squid.

Louisa Lou: *Contemporary artists exist in a liminal dreamy cool world, but not too cool for this one. Creating works of art in a world wild with insanely cool imagination that defies ones normal cosmos. I await the intensity that this new contemporary exhibition of work from these mind altering artists will showcase in the beautiful Earlsfort Terrace building. The Dublin Contemporary exhibition will transcend us into the artist’s spiritual world and let us in on their labyrinth of dreams and converse with us to reveal our own amidst their creative works of terrible beauty!!

Michaela Markova: is thrilled by the fact that the Dublin Contemporary theme toys with Yeats’s poetry (how apt, right?) and cannot wait until she can see some of the ‘terrible beauty’Dublin Contemporary
