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.
Join us for a tour beginning at 3pm at St Carthage Hall to see Ways of Seeing, with a walk to see This Rural departing at 4pm
