The National Gallery's permanent collection of Irish art drawn from the first half of the 20th century goes back on display in the Millennium Wing from Monday, October 7th. Included are new works acquired by the Gallery in recent years and some on loan from private and public collections. (This should be good news for culture vultures. Those who don't like Art will be exterminate.)

what´s inside a dalek?
one of DAVROS genetic horrors.

I miss the National Gallery of Ireland.
I miss the municipal too.
I was never too keen on the Royal Hosp.
except for the Warhol exhibition with the floating silver pillows installation.
A group of us saw that on a weird weekend.
a swedish girl and an english girl and a german boy and myself a homesick Irish boy, who if he were at home would
(can you guess)
NO TO NICE.

I am not a genetic horror! I am a pretty Dalek! Exterminate! Exterminate!
