From 7 - 10 October, Dublin buildings of all types and periods will open up their doors to allow citizens explore the architecture of their city, with special tours by hundreds of professionals and enthusiasts, completely for free.

2010 is an exceptional year in Irish architecture as it sees the completion of several large-scale projects in Dublin city. To mark these new urban landmarks as well as the innovative work of Irish architects across all scales, we have adopted the theme – Big, Small, Global. Open House Dublin is a unique opportunity to explore the city in all its dimensions.

Open House Dublin is curated by Dr. Sandra O'Connell and is presented by the Irish Architecture Foundation. To see the programme as it grows, visit www.architecturefoundation.ie/openhouse

In powerful black-and-white photographs, Giorgia Fiorio records heightened moments of spiritual and religious ritual from across the planet. 'The Gift' explores the relation of the individual to the Sacred. It reveals the tenacity and endurance of all human beings in their search for spiritual meaning in their lives.

KING RAT

A dark and menacing exhibition, originally inspired by all things Gothic, King Rat presents a series of artworks by some of visual arts most original international voices.  The gallery will transform in to a space filled with a sense of unease and discomfort, the stuff that nightmares are made of. A carpet made of thousands of black pieces of paper will create a striking landscape from which sculptures rise, paintings hover above, tapestries loom and text speak.
