For this project however, each artist has stepped outside of their normal practice, and will be presenting work they've created of an illustrative nature. On the night there promises to be a wide selection of paintings, drawings, and all things illustrated, accompanied by some music and wine. Some of the works on parade will also be

1st November 09 -3pm till late

An interactive night of painting, cutting, colouring, 3D sculptures, windup toys, mechanical visuals, music and dancing!
"A4 Sounds" is a collective based in Dublin with some members stretching as far as Canada and the States, such as textile artists, sculptors, printers, painters, model makers, photographers, engineers, musicians and composers.
For "A4 Sounds Is A Wind Up!" this time they are bringing a new show to the Back Loft where the audience will be encouraged to paint on canvas, cut out and colour 3d sculptures and windup, push, pull and cycle as many gears as possible for a visual show with a difference! They have gone 3D for this one so they ask everyone to come wearing handdrawn/homemade 3D glasses to make this show very special. As always there will be acoustic music from various members of the collective adding to this mechanical atmosphere on the day from acts such as gland & conduit.
