The exhibition "Changelings in Nighttown" from the 12th to the 26th June 2024 is a solo show by Irish artist Noël O'Callaghan, the paintingsanddrawings in the show will be from her "Changelings" series. These works were begun during the lockdown when the artist, in the absence of her regular life-drawing group, began to alter existing life-drawings by allowing them to freely mutate into new beings.

The "Nighttown" of the title references the Circe chapter of James Joyce's Ulysses. Bleibtreu Strasse, in Charlottenburg, where the gallery is located,is the only street in Germany to be mentioned in this book. On Bloomsday the artist will do a "walk and talk" from number 3 to number 34. There willbereadings from relevant sections of Ulysses, and musical episodes will occur. Starting at 16.00 on June 16th, all are welcome.
