Dublin nightlife at the end of the millennium is the focus of a new exhibition by happening at The Bernard Shaw this July.
Entitled Analog Rhythms – A Celebration of Dublin Club Culture, the exhibit will tell the story of venues like Sides DC, Temple of Sound, The Ormond, The Pod, Columbia Mills, The Asylum, Temple Theatre, The Kitchen, System, The Funnel, The Furnace and many more through a collection of flyers, photos, clippings, memorabilia, along with personal tales.
The exhibition is being curated by Irish electronic music site 909originals.com, in association with Bodytonic, and will take place on 9th and 10th July at The Bernard Shaw, Cross Guns Bridge, Drumcondra.
“The 1990s was a time of cultural awakening in Dublin, which was best represented by the vibrancy of the city’s nightclub industry. With Analog Rhytms, we pay tribute to the people and places that helped shape the scene and cement Dublin’s reputation as one of the party capitals of Europe.”
Steve Wynne-Jones, editor of 909originals.com
The exhibition will also see a host of side events, including DJ performances, a panel discussion and a record/tape fair.
Tickets start at €5 and are available from Eventbrite.
