Edge joins Yoko Ono tonight for 'In The Time of Shaking', a new exhibitionat the Irish Museum of Modern Art.

'In the time of shaking' is a sale, exhibition and limited edition bookinvolving over 100 of Ireland's leading artists in support of human rightsand the work of Amnesty International.

Hailed as one of the most exciting exhibitions of contemporary new Irishart in years, the exhibition features new work by more than a hundred ofIreland's most important contemporary artists, including Louis le Brocquy,Patrick Scott, Camille Souter, Sean Scully, Tony O'Malley, Barrie Cooke,Patrick Ireland, Patrick O'Reilly, Anne Madden, Mark Francis, Jane O'Malley,Basil Blackshaw, Hughie O'Donoghue, Alice Maher, Carey Clarke, Guggi,Dorothy Cross, Michael Kane, Grace Weir, Felim Egan, Vivienne Roche, MaudCotter, Cecily Brennan and Clare Langan.

'In the time of shaking' has been conceived and selected by Professor CiaránBenson of University College Dublin, and members of the 'Artists for AmnestyInternational 2004' Committee supported by Art for Amnesty.

"I take the show's title ­ In the time of shaking ­ from a phrase Iremembered and liked in an old translation of Psalm 27," writes CiaránBenson "'Shaking' is a metaphor for 'trouble'. The question that thenoccurs is this: in the time of shaking to what can we turn for support andguidance? And the answer that inspires this show is: to a vision of commonhumanity such as is asserted in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,and to the endlessly rich versions of that common humanity in their fullestexpression, such as we find in the arts."
