Artists: Ailbhe Ní Bhriain, Brian Mac Domhnaill, Caoimhe Kilfeather, Ciarán Óg Arnold, Patrick Hogan, Erica van Horn, Tom Keeley, Laura Fitzgerald, Michele Horrigan, Samuel Laurence Cunnane, Ruby Wallis, Katie Watchorn

Curated by Miriam O’Connor & Paul McAree

This Rural focuses on photographic practices and approaches, reflecting on how artists negotiate and respond to rural experiences. The works produced by artists in This Rural take a slow, meditative approach, informed by acts of watching, waiting, seeing, to reflect on an experience and response to being rural. The show brings together a new generation of Irish and Ireland-based artists who are pushing the boundaries of the photographic medium, from signalling an interest in film photography, to a slower, contemplative practice, exploring and contemplating the familiar in dark, poignant and mysterious ways.

Opening Reception Saturday 20 May, 4pm
