Don't say you weren't warned. Some of the sights which will greet you during the Temple Street Art Symposium next month include: a Scandinavian cottage, in which Swedish artist Veronica Larsson will serve traditional buns, dressed in "modernised" folk dress ("With these irresistible treasures from my native country, I hope to make friends in my new home and with its people", she explains.); John Power's 12 foot tall, two-tonne valve radio set, purveying "an incredible mix of sounds"; James Hayes, from Canada "herding" a cluster of kitchen chairs from location to location, to highlight the fact that the area is a "home to many people"; Jeanette Doyle's life-sized toy soldiers; Norette Kirby's temple made of marble dust and plaster; Sean Hillen's photomontaged images inspired by John Hinde. . .

It goes on, reader, there are 10 participating artists, selected by Jack Gilligan, Art Officer with Dublin Corporation and architect, Tom de Paor. There'll be people crying for Molly Malone yet.
