WE ALL PARTIED, right? That’s one of the themes to be explored (and possibly done away with) in a new exhibition which runs in Dublin until next Saturday.

Punt Nua: Creative Economics is a group exhibition at darc space, a gallery on North Great George’s Street. It’s free in (Monday-Friday 10am-5.30pm; Saturday noon-3pm). Curator Con Kennedy, who organised the exhibition with Steven Ruane, said:

Creativity is the solution to Ireland’s current problems. The most exciting responses and reactions to these problems have been from Irish designers and artists. The work presented in this exhibition highlights the ingenuity and creativity in the field and provokes questions and seeks answers to why ‘we are, where we are’ in a witty and humorous manner.

It’s certainly more fun than a second bailout…
