Jeroen Eisinga’s latest work art, Springtime, has been hailed as a classic in the making. In a romantic search about death and decay, he has made a video of himself entirely covered in bees, all 150,000 of them. The claustrophobic video was shot entirely in black and white on 35mm film and made in Ireland as no Dutch beekeepers were willing to participate in this project.

There’s a lot to be said for natural phenomena. This video shows two girls in a canoe on the River Shannon in Ireland experiencing one. Moving and spectacular to say the least, and a reminder to us all to get out there and experience what this world has to offer.

I’m Irish and some of my friends back home send me over YouTube videos daily. This Lil Ms Rent Allowance video has gone absolutely viral all over Ireland. To put it simply, it’s hilarious.

Ham Sandwich. An Irish indie rock band from Kells, Ireland..rather than the snack. These guys released their second album, Whitefox, this year to widespread acclaim. Coming in at 33 mins or so, this album doesn’t have any filler. Just great songs throughout. The standout tracks for me are The Naurist, and ‘Ants’, one of my favourite songs this year. They are also put on a really really great show if you get to catch them live!

In Baile Átha Cliath, we live amongst typography. It influences and informs our every day lives in Dublin, Ireland. This typography-led mini-film was directed and shot in and around central Dublin on February 25.

Irish firm Architecture Republic designed this beautiful renovation on an residential house in Dublin, which consists of a cruciform constructed out of polycarbonate and steel that extends from the center of the building out into a jutting, second-level extension in the rear of the house. The original facade is preserved, while the interior is completely reworked to be a sleek, open-feeling, modern living space. Read more

Kate Hutchinson’s series, Irish Grandmother, began as a way of ‘connecting to and bestowing importance on my grandmother, all the while spending time with her in her Dublin flat where she dwells alone. Since the project’s inception in 2006, further visits in 2007 and 2008 have allowed me to examine and bear witness to her daily life. My grandmother is a quiet and reserved woman who is an integral part of who I am. She does not readily allow people to enter her world or know her thoughts. While photographing her daily routine and rituals, I did not so much learn about her history or her life story, as was part of my original goal, rather I discovered who she needs to be to get through every day’.

David Holmes’ fourth solo album has been a long time in the making. The man who is best known for his scoring of films such as Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13, and remixing for bands like U2 and The Manic Street Preachers, took just over ten years to make his latest album. Read more

If you like playful geometry, texture, and information graphics (and I do), then you’ll love the work of Raymond Biesinger.
In the world of street art, often dominated by alpha-male posturing and tiresome pseudo-political satire, Faith47 injects a tender visual poetry. Often seen in the most destitute of environments, her work comes across as a beacon of healing where political systems so often have failed to uplift. This is conscience through art where it is needed most: in the trenches. Read more
There was a time, many moons ago, when I would only listen to bands off New Zealand’s Flying Nun label. Yup, I would strap myself into a comfy chair, put my headphones on and, armed with a chunk of chocolate coated Peanut Slab and a can of L&P, soak up album after album of wonderfully self-indulgent low-fi melancholy.

The Los Angeles musician, Ariana Delawari — aka Lion of Panjshir — is half Afghan and half Sicilian and makes wonderfully enlightened weirdo folk rock. I hope she takes that as a compliment! Her music is delicate and powerful and she is a pure artist. Everything she does has that magic light in it. She made her new album partially in Afghanistan, and many of the lyrics deal with the continued oppression of people’s liberties by the Taliban.
