artisit? 2008 will provide a boutique environment to showcase a selection of artwork from New York, Reykjavík, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Glasgow and Ireland.

The various shows will be charged with unusual activity - innovative and voyeuristic - involving alternative locations around Galway and Glasgow.

artist? 2008 features fresh artwork from 20 selected artists and a host of international gallerists, photographers, trendsetters, designers, DJs, music collectives, fashion/art collaboratives and thinkers.

The event provides a unique opportunity to see the most current developments in the world of contemporary art.

It will provide an international platform for an eclectic series of art events, exhibitions, music events and parties showcasing the work of young emerging artists from around the world. It presents a series of site-specific artwork, installation, video, photography, drawing, print, painting, performance, and interventions, investigating work from cutting edge art schools.
