Taking her cue from Walter Benjamin's Angelus Novus with his back turned to the future, surveying the desolation of the past, Marysia Wieckiewicz- Carroll curates a show of printworks that question the desirability of progress by "examining its recent histories and traces". Aoife Dwyer, Mary A Fitzgerald, John Graham, Robert Kelly, Anja Mahler, Fiona McDonald and Alison Pilkington are the artists. Meanwhile its counterpart, Broken Mirrors, sees Jonathan Mayhew and Lee Welch explore the concept and representation of the future in a contemporary context.
CLASSIC FILM
The Warriors
Sugar Club, Dublin 7.30pm €10 thesugarclub.com
A film with a heavyweight disco, funk and r'n'b soundtrack, The Warriors continues to add to its cult following with every screening. Released in 1979 and directed by Walter Hill, who went on to have a string of action flick hits, it's the tale of a New York City street gang dealing with trouble and strife (villian David Patrick Kelly, above) in the big city from fellow gangs, police and general skulduggery. The late Tony Scott had planned a remake, but the original will more than do for now.
