LOUIS
WINSBERG
& MIKE NIELSEN
Concert.
The Alliance Française in association with
Improvised Music Company present what promises to be an exhilarating dialogue between two outstanding guitarists :
Louis Winsberg
& Mike Nielsen.
While his electric playing demonstrate an uncompromising and often visceral approach to improvisation, the acoustic guitar brings
Mike Nielsen’s stunning command of the instrument into sharper focus.
Louis Winsberg also inhabits two musical universes. One as a jazz musician, renowned throughout France for his use of the expansive approach favoured by players like Pat Metheny, the other as a gypsy musician, steeped in the flamenco traditions of France's footprint on the southern Mediterranean.
Friday 3rd February at 8pm
Tickets at the door : 14 Euro

TRANSFORMATION
ON THE BORDER - FIONA
ARNOLD
Exhibition.
Fiona Arnold has worked as painter/illustrator, mural artist and screen-printer on fabric in Dublin, London and Lyon. She is currently working with photographs, paint and mixed media creating layers and illusions.
This exhibition entitled, Transfor-mation on the
Border has as its main subject matter illusionism. One image dissipating into another. There is as much importance given to the container or frame as the subject it contains. The eye as it roams the surface is never quite sure what it is. Not seeing all at one glance, you are either attracted enough to explore further or willing to let a sense of mystery take over and bring the imagination into play.
