We have been looking through our archives and found a lost world – a selection of images taken in the early 80′s in Dublin. These pictures give a glimpse into the character of an old area of the city that has been forever changed by time and the impact of world social-economic changes. If you would like to see more of these images let us know. See more images here.

Don’t miss your chance to see The Brothers Quay! Their exhibition is up at the University of the Arts through April 9th, with a closing reception tomorrow night (April 3rd) from 5-7:30pm.

They also have a couple of works showing through the Philadelphia Film Festival, at the Prince Theater in Center City. Both films will be followed by short lectures. You can even buy your tickets in advance [click here]

We were inspired last night by the AIGA Philly Typography lecture with Roberto de Vicq de Cumptich, President of de Vicq Design and Matteo Bologna, Founder of Mucca Design.

So inspired that we just ordered Roberto’s book.

This morning on my desk I found the sweetest little drawing. I’m sure it was not left there on purpose, but since it was, I thought I would share it.

In honor of the 2009 Presidential Inauguration, The New York Times posted a photo album generated by readers.

Some pretty inspirational images, starting with the photo on the left, submitted Monday 8:22am ET, by Rachel Cromidas at Fiske Elementary School, in Chicago.

Looks like there is still time to catch the MOMA’s commissioned 25-foot multi-media video installation by Swiss Artist Pipilotti Rist, called “Pour Your Body Out”.

Don’t procrastinate too much, it’s only thru February 2, 2009

If you are visiting Philly this weekend, you may want to consider visiting the Philly Museum of Art. It is the last weekend you can catch the Live Cinema/Anita Sieff Films.

“The subject of investigation of Italian filmmaker Anita Sieff is human communication as a means of both social inquiry and visual representation. In her films, fragmented and at times abstract dialogues between diverse characters become the focus of attention as women and men question their relationship with each other in precisely allusive urban contexts. Interpersonal relations become the battling ground where identities are constructed, beliefs debated, and emotions examined.” {more}

Whatever you decide to do, please weekend responsibly.
