Exhibition latest

Maintaining its hard-earned reputation for bringing you the very latest Upstarts news, the Officeless blog today presents an exclusive lowdown on the Exhibition proposals discussed with (Design Factory Honchos) Conor Clarke and Sinead Doyle, and (ICAD Gaffer) Elaine McDevitt at the Factory Space Gallery on (ahem...) Monday night.


Some interesting and unusual concepts were presented. Themes within included explosions, popcorn, lion tamers, kites and strings.

After a two-hour-ideas-blitz-marathon, the Design Factory curators retired back to their creative caverns to mull over the fare, while everyone else retired to Nealons. We expect to meet again this week to finalise the concept for the exhibition and get cracking on its realisation.

Unlike your intrepid reporter, the Officeless photographer missed that morning's flight back from London. For photographs of the presentations, please contact Fiaz Farrelly and Elaine McDevitt.

One absentee on Monday night was Austin Maguire, who was stuck at home working hard on the new Design Week website. The site is now up and running, so now there can be no more confusion as to when the big week is.
