I love billboards because of the sheer size of the damned things. You see, sometimes scale IS the idea. Any one who does not recognise this characteristic, when creating a large format outdoor execution is wasting a very large (format) opportunity. I was reminded of this recently when looking at the work of sculptor Ron Mueck. Conventionally, sculptors who use scale in their work have done so for the self-aggrandisement of public figures such as generals or politicians. Mueck does the opposite and creates work that speaks strongly to human vulnerability. Photographs of Ron Mueck’s work in galleries, where there is no reference to scale, rarely do it justice. I thought it would be interesting, therefore, to put together these images of the sculptures where the scale is clear. Either in the context of the artist’s studio or viewers in a gallery. In these images, scale redefines everything. Because sometimes, scale IS the idea.

A couple of months ago there was a photo of Enda Kenny on the front steps of our building.
This was taken while we were working on the Fine Gael election campaign and before he became Taoiseach.
Today we surpassed that moment. Actually we didn’t just surpass it, we made that moment seem positively insignificant.
Because we met arguably the two most powerful Irish people in the world at the moment. Strike that, the two most powerful Irish people ever. Two leaders, two men (well boys) of character, a duo that will lead this country out of the doldrums and into a new Irish utopia.
Yes we met…Jedward.
The only way to describe the occasion? “OMG like totally Jedly”.
From July 29th you can listen to their new album ‘Bad Behaviour’ on eircom Muscihub before it’s ‘loike officially released’
And to mark the occasion we’ve made a ‘Music for when you meet Jedward!’ Album o Matic album
Featuring tracks such as
Teenage kicks – The Undertones
Walking on Sunshine -Katrina and the Waves
Devil’s Haircut -Beck
And
Double Trouble – Otis Rush
