Irish Art Bombing in Madrid

The ARCO Art Fair in Madrid, due to open this evening, is of particular Irish interest this year. The Irish Museum of Modern Art's Director has been invited to curate a major exhibition of work by young Irish artists there. But now comes the news that a car bomb has exploded outside ARCO.
