CORBAN WALKER AT RHA, DUBLIN
This exhibition entitled ‘Please Adjust’ features two works by Walker from the Irish Pavilion at the 2011 Venice Art Biennale re-imagined for the Atrium Space at the RHA.
The vinyl drawing, on the window of the RHA Atrium, involves Walker's response to his experience of the built environment and also plays with mathematical rules and principles, both common themes in his work. It is a visual game of sorts whereby the artist begins with a black vinyl square of 60mm and projects this square, successively reducing it by half its own dimension until it becomes almost invisible, hence the title Transparent Wall. Please Adjust, the largest work, comprises 176 interlocking stainless steel cube frames. As the title suggests the configuration which is subject to alteration at each installation questions the notion of sculpture as a constant stable form. The title also references the enormous economic crisis that has affected nearly every country since 2008, Ireland in particular, and how we as individuals may have to adjust expectations and positions. Just as each unit in this sculpture depends on the other for stability, individuals are all subject to the consequences of one action against another and exterior forces beyond our control. Corban Walker (b. 1967, Dublin, Ireland) is an artist known for his investigations of perceptions of scale and architectural constructs.
This exhibition runs until 29th April 2012 and will then tour to Lismore Castle Arts, Co Waterford from June to August 2012.

RESIDENCIES AT CILL RIALAIG, KERRY
The Cill Rialaig Project in southwest Kerry invites applications for residencies for September 2012 to December 2013. Built out of the ruins of a 1790s pre-famine village atop a cliff face overlooking the Atlantic, Cill Rialaig offers professional artists, writers and other creative professionals an opportunity to get away from everyday career pressures and the demands of 21st century life in order to focus entirely on their artistic practice. While residents are primarily visual artists, they also include photographers, writers, poets, screenwriters, applied artists, musicians and composers, architects, and their peers, from Ireland and abroad.
Cill Rialaig is located in a remote Gaeltacht, or Irish-speaking area. Its cottages are living-work spaces that provide for residents' essential work and living needs. They are very simple without modern accoutrements of television, telephones or internet. The remote location means that there are very few distractions other than the landscape; it is a true retreat.
Residencies are offered free of charge, although there is a small service fee for utilities. Residents provide their own transportation, food and supplies.
The next deadline for applications is 15th March 2012. The following deadline is September 2012.

STICKY FINGERS ARTS SEEKING CRAFT ARTISTS FOR CHILDREN’S PUBLIC ART PROJECTS
In association with Newry and Mourne District Council, Sticky Fingers Early Years Arts is looking for four artists of differing disciplines to collaborate with primary school children on an integrated public art scheme for Hill Street, Newry. Each artist will deliver a series of workshops in Newry to work with local children on creating a permanent art installation in one of four sites along Hill Street. In keeping with Sticky Fingers' programme ethos, the workshops will be child-centered, with the themes of the final work arising from the children's imagination. Each art installation will be finished to a high quality and should combine the children's work with that of the artist. It is envisaged that the workshop time spent with the children will be used as a research period for each artist to create their element of the final work, both elements working in tandem with one another.
Applicants will need to be available during February, March and April 2012, have proven experience in producing mid to large-scale public art projects and have an interest in working creatively and collaboratively with young children. The deadline for all applications is 10am January 16th 2012. Late submissions will not be considered.

IRISH CRAFT PORTFOLIO 2012
The Crafts Council of Ireland is changing the Irish Craft Portfolio programme from a 1-year to a 2-year cycle. This is being done to align better with makers' needs following a review of the programme including feedback from makers and to create more efficiency in CCoI's market development activities.
The new book, Irish Craft Portfolio will be now published in Autumn 2012. The next book will be published in Autumn 2014. Irish Craft Portfolio was established in 2005 by the Crafts Council of Ireland to promote the work of individuals showing excellence in craftsmanship at an international level. It has been used as a resource for Irish and International curators in accessing the work of Irish makers for exhibition. It is increasingly used by private and state collectors to guide their collecting of contemporary Irish craft.
Makers who did not already apply in September 2011 for the new programme can do so now. Closing date for new applications is Wednesday 18th January 2012 by 5pm.
