    In association with ROAD RECORDS and DARKLIGHT 2008

    FRIDAY 27 JUNE - SUNDAY 6 JULY 2008

    LAUNCH STREET PARTY@ Road Records, Fri 27 June, 6.30pm

    EXHIBITION @ Road Records, Fade St, Dublin 2
    SCREENINGS @ Filmbase, Curved St, Temple Bar, Dublin 2


    UNDERGROUND is an exhibition featuring 10 artists, 3 music documentaries (the first being ‘Shellshock Rock’ & discussed live on the day by the director John T. Davis plus The Stars Are Underground), and an accompanying publication, all dealing with the changes in independent music culture over the last fifteen years, tracking the relationship between the local and the global, society and technology and charting the erasure of the boundary between the public and the private.

    Music culture in general and independent music culture in particular has been altered beyond recognition in less than a generation. In a time where all information seems to be instantly accessible, is it still possible to create the mythologies that fuel music culture? Broadband, the development of new music-related technologies and even the mobile phone have changed the way music is produced, distributed and consumed in a profound way and we are negotiating the social impact of these changes on a daily basis.

    UNDERGROUND hopes to provide a space that allows for reflection on the issues generated by these huge cultural shifts, as well as marking the current state of play as a point of reference for future generations. The exhibition will take place in the basement of Road Records, an independent record shop on Fade Street in Dublin, which for over ten years has been a crucial site in the development of the local independent music scene. The basement has been used in the past to sell dance music and second-hand records, and is currently being used as an office to co-ordinate Road's web-based business.
