Traces de Peter Rice
This exhibition presents the work of one of the great engineers of the 20th century whose name is largely unknown to the general public. A specialist in steel structures, Dundalk-born Peter Rice (1935-1992) was a driving force within the design teams for landmark architectural projects including the Sydney Opera House, Centre Pompidou, the 'Nuage' of La Défense and the Pyramide inversée of the Louvre museum.
Architectural models, drawings, large-scale images and personal notebooks are brought together here for the first time; combined with archival films on the construction of key buildings and on Peter Rice himself, they will bring the past to life. New work by artist Vivienne Roche, commissioned for the exhibition, reveals the qualities that characterised Rice – lightness, an innovative sense of scale and detail, a love of tactility and surprise, and a distinctive awareness of construction as a profoundly human activity.
Organised in collaboration with Arup Phase 2, London, the Office of Public Works at Farmleigh, Dublin, and with the support of RFR, Paris, this exhibition will be opened by the well-known Italian architect Renzo Piano.
Curator: Kevin Barry
16 May 13
10.30-17.30, by invitation, in English and French
International colloquium:
Peter Rice and his aftermath
LIGHT/ness: TACTILITY, SURPRISE, DESIGN
This colloquium seeks to define the challenge that Peter Rice, with his distinctive awareness of construction as a profoundly human activity, offers to engineering and architecture today. At home in London and Paris, with a global reach to such projects as the Menil Collection at Houston and Kansai Airport near Osaka, Rice worked with the leading architects of his time, notably Renzo Piano and
Richard Rogers. He celebrated qualities of surprise and collaboration when testing the resources of cast-steel, fabric, glass and stone, or exploring natural forms (for example spiders' webs) as models for innovation in structural design.
Moderators: Antoine Picon (Harvard University) and Seán O Laoire (MÓLA Architecture, Dublin)
This event is open to architectural and engineering professionals. For further information: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
15 May 13
18.30-20.00, admission free
Open Studio evening: Margaret O'Brien
During the opening of the exhibition Traces de Peter Rice, current artist in residence Margaret O'Brien will open the doors of her studio to the public to present her work-in-progress. She is pursuing the site-specific nature of her practice through engagement with the historical sites of public executions in Paris, including public market places and closed prison courtyards. As a symptom of profound discord between a regime and its people, she sees the tradition of execution that grew from the late 1700s as having resonance in the current Europe climate.
18 May 13
20.00-midnight, admission free
European Night of Museums

Goldfish Memory
This film from 2003 is set around a small group of characters experiencing relationships which build and crumble before the viewer's eyes. Goldfish are said to have short memory spans. Humans, too, have a tendency to jump from one relationship to the next, "forgetting" the pain that any previous one might have caused. The film shows complexities involved in straight, gay, lesbian, and bisexual relationships. Its soundtrack acted as something of a showcase for the Irish alternative music scene of the time.
Alongside relatively established bands like The Frames and The Walls, it also featured up and coming acts like Rodrigo y Gabriela, Nina Hynes and Messiah J and the Expert. Four songs by the legendary Brazilian Bossa Nova composer Tom Jobim were remade for the movie, three of which were performed by Damien Rice with Lisa Hannigan
Written and directed by Elizabeth Gill, starring Sean Campion, Fiona O'Shaughnessy, Fiona Glascott, Peter Gaynor, Keith McErlean, Jean Butler

Colin Dunne
Out of Time
From 4 to 19 June, Atelier de Paris-Carolyn Carlson is putting on an international and innovative dance festival "June Events". The Atelier is based in the Cartoucherie, a former gunpowder factory in Vincennes that has been home to internationally recognised theatre companies since the 1970s. In conjunction with the 2013 edition of June Events, the CCI is presenting the virtuoso Irish dancer Colin Dunne. Following his rise to fame with Riverdance, Dunne has established an international reputation for his solo performances that combine traditional Irish with modern dance in a magical way. In 2008, he created Out of Time, a brilliant 'tour de force' combing the best of contemporary dance with sheer audacity – both physical and aesthetic. Gesture, text, music and video become one in this phenomenal solo performance to take place at the Cartoucherie.

Marché de la Poésie is one of the major literary events of the year when hundreds of booksellers, publishers, writers, musicians and lovers of poetry occupy place Saint-Sulpice on the Left Bank of Paris.

Together with readings and discussions, two new anthologies and two new collections in French translation will be launched. Two concerts - traditional music and jazz (see Music section- lien vers section) – will resound in this beautiful square in the centre of the 6ème arrondissement.
In conjunction with the Marché de la Poésie, a month-long series of poetry events is taking place in Paris and its outskirts. The CCI is organising three evenings for this Périphérie, the first of which is the launch of the Marché and its Périphérie at the Embassy of Ireland on 27 May in the presence of the great poet Paul Durcan (by invitation only). On 13 June, Seamus Heaney, Nobel Laureate, will give a special reading in the courtyard of the Centre Culturel Irlandais; on 27 June the final evening of the Périphérie will feature readings by Harry Clifton, Vona Groarke and Derek Mahon.
