As part of the Darklight music festival ‘Underground’, an exhibition examining the changes in Irish and international independent music over the last fifteen years is launching tomorrow. Through documentary showings, live music (including a street party outside Road Records!) and an exhibition magazine, Underground aims to track “the relationship between the local and the global, society and technology” and to chart “the erasure of the boundary between the public and the private”. More info over at State.
