Music
THESHED produces its own music, its own sounds and noises.
it is an organic body and it is enjoying it. @THESHED you listen to a lot of unpredictable, stimulating and unpleasant sounds, as you can discover only by visiting and frequenting it.
Movies
THESHED shoots its own images and imaginary. They cross through reality and they report different visual possibilities for the body and the mind. They also often change the conventional point of view to talk truly.
Television
oh, forget about it: let THESHED to be your own television!

Books
THESHED is a literary void.
There are no books here as there is space for all kind of books and knowledge and each book entering here will get lost or confused somewhere - you will not be able to remember about it later. you will get out writing a new book.
Heroes
You enter THESHED as Teseo enters the labyrinth threshold.
The Shed is the forge and you are both hero and raw matter within it, the warrior and his own arrow.
As you can loose yourself, you can find your freedom here too.
There is space for all kind of heroes and losers here, to get a nap and to start a new dream...
About me: STRANGER THAN PARADISE @THESHED - Manifesto//
To live one single life,/
in one single town,/
in one single country,/
in one single universe,/
means prison.//
To know one single language,/
one single work,/
one single costume,/
one single culture,/
to know one single logic,/
means prison.//

Translation from Italian version by McBett
THESHED is a workshop space in the heart of Dublin, off Henrietta Street/Bolton street D1.
This project has been created to give location to foreign artists resident in Ireland or in general artists working on International Issues and their unconventional approach to art and communication.
The purpose of this project is cultural exchange, and the hope is to facilitate interaction between contemporary artists from different cultures and disciplines through the “Stranger than Paradise” program (see blog), to promote diversity.
This is an independent project and an independent venue cured by McBett.
Who I'd like to meet: Artists active in Dublin in various disciplines on International Subjects or Foreigners, who are interested in working within the venue and/or to present events, or who like to present an Artist in Residence project, can be shortlisted presenting their CV/Portfolio and a proposal to:
McBett,
The Shed

Bei den Erdbeben, die kommen werden, werde ich hoffentlich Meine Virginia nicht ausgehen lassen durch Bitterkeit, Ich, Bertolt Brecht, in die Asphaltstädte verschlagen Aus den schwarzen Wäldern in meiner Mutter in früher Zeit.
In the earthquakes to come it is to be hoped I shan't allow bitterness to quench my cigar's glow, I, Bertolt Brecht, astray in cement cities, Brought from the black forests in my mother long ago.
Danke für die Freundschaft! Thanks for the friendship!

Would you let me know what's going on in the Shed? Would you like to meet up some time maybe? I'm free more than I want to be at the moment and it would be great for me to meet some other people...??
