This significant commission will support five artists to connect and engage with diverse Dublin communities, creating exciting new connections between the artist, local communities and the city. The commissions will be presented to the public through an outdoors exhibition on digipanels, metropoles and bus shelters across the city, for a. Work that had sustained inner-city communities for generations suddenly evaporated.
While banks and other financial services moved into the area, it had little impact at first on the citizens of Dublin. And at night there was a tumbleweed feel to th. Adding colour to the walls across Dublin, James Earley is bringing street art out of its sub-cultured roots.
By spray painting concepts onto walls, Earley is proving that street art is more than just stylistic. The majority of us are very open and want to get people involved. I used to d. Elisa Capitanio is a UX Designer at social media intelligence agency Storyful, and also runs her own independent abstract art business. She came to Ireland nine years ago completely by chance. Living in Italy, she longed for a change of pace, so she left her home of Bergamo and moved to London.
Dublin came calling with an opportunity for Elisa to try her hand at being a web designer, so she packed her bags for a second time and moved country again. Since then, Ireland has become her permanent home and has inspired her art. Self - Guest. Self - Musical Guest as The Frames. Hide Show Archive footage 1 credit. Self uncredited. Related Videos.

Parents: Hansard, James Catherine Hansard. Edit Did You Know? Personal Quote: There's a famous saying: God surely gave us the potato blight, but the British gave us a famine. There was fish in the sea, there was beef in the fields, but we ate the potatoes. Star Sign: Taurus. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page. One day he went to a Seamus Heaney reading and ended up following new friends back to the poet's house.
The film was an international sensation, and in its slipstream the fictional act became real, touring the UK and America to packed houses. But Hansard hated it; he felt it was all fake. So he grew a beard, and refocused his sights on the Frames. A full 16 years on, he was asked to be in a film again. It was , and Hansard's friend and former Frames bassist John Carney had begun working on Once, a tale of two buskers in Dublin falling in love through music.
Cillian Murphy had signed on to appear alongside a year-old newcomer, Czech musician Marketa Irglova; Hansard would write the songs. But then Murphy bailed. They were quite hard to sing, quite raging. But, then, the character was pretty dark.
With Murphy gone, the funding disappeared, and the project seemed doomed. Until, that is, Carney implored his friend to step in. Hansard had been reluctant to repeat his experience on The Commitments —"Nothing wrong with acting, it's just not for me" — but eventually agreed. The leads' on-screen love affair followed off-screen, and the following year the doomed sweethearts they would split up shortly after won Best Song at the Oscars for the track "Falling Slowly".
Hansard's acceptance speech, made immortal on YouTube, is the very definition of incredulous disbelief. I didn't know why. It was Bruce Springsteen, sitting up with him one night drinking whiskey, who explained things to him. I was in a different part of my life, a different suit. Hansard plays several guitars, including a very recognisable battered Takamine NP15 acoustic guitar even sporting a large hole , which he calls "The Horse".
In a November interview in The Huffington Post with Irglova, it was revealed that Hansard was preparing a solo album and that there was a very possible third release from The Swell Season. This solo album was later revealed to be titled Rhythm and Repose. Another song he wrote, "Come Away to the Water", is featured on the soundtrack, but is covered by Maroon 5 and Rozzi Crane.
Hansard can be found singing "Come Away to the Water" on the deluxe edition of his first solo album Rhythm and Repose. He guest-starred in an episode of the TV series, Parenthood, playing himself.
In the episode, "Trouble in Candyland", he performed "High Hope", a single from his solo debut album Rhythm and Repose. Influences Hansard has remarked about his musical influences: "In my house, when I was a kid, there was the holy trinity, which was Leonard Cohen, Van Morrison, and Bob Dylan with Bob sitting centre.
