- Absolut Art
15 September 2009
There is an established history of association between ABSOLUT and the Arts, dating to 1985. It was then that Andy Warhol offered to create an ad for a little known and quirky Swedish vodka, ABSOLUT VODKA. For over 20 years, ABSOLUT has collaborated with artists around the world providing artists with a platform for expression.
The ABSOLUT ORIGINAL's collection features 16 newly commissioned pieces and will be exhibited during the ABSOLUT FRINGE 2009 festival @ The ABSOLUT FRINGE FACTORY, Smock Alley Theatre, Lower Exchange St in Dublin's Temple Bar Area. It will be open daily from 5pm - 10pm. Absolut Art
