'make the ton'? The century, is it? Ní thuigim, gabh mo leithscéal.

I didn't know the Dolls were playing, must check that. Lined up for Gilbert O' Sullivan on Paddy's Day.

Unusual paintings of Brazil by artist Johann Moritz Rugendaz were also on view in the gallery in Berlin, such as this -

That painting is ok; in the 'exotic art' category probably up to a while ago, unlikely to be found in a gallery. The artist was very prolific and observant in an area and era not otherwise much covered. I checked it out when I was told that the modern art building nearby was closed for renovation, and I had an hour to kill before catching up with my travelling companion.

G O'S plays Drogheda on Wed, in the new theatre soon after I think. (we'll start up a TCM thread soon under events...)

A print of this -

- is in my hallway. By Joan Miro, I brought it back from Barcelona a few years ago, left it behind coming back on an Irish train from which somebody kindly rescued it!

NYC artist Natalie Tyler's 3D work is enrapturing. She describes her mission as an attempt to lead us closer to nature, from whence we spring.

This work, Cocoon, consists of 3 human-sized cocoons fitted with motion-sensor lights inside that respond to an approach. The idea is a metaphor for those times in life we're in transition and need to withdraw in some comfort and safety to change -
