Why Exhibit? Vol. 2,
On Curating Photography

Why Exhibit? Vol. 2, On Curating Photography combines articles and conversations on curatorial practices concerning photo-based images. Discussion centres on challenges curators and artists working with photography face today. How do they navigate its constantly changing appearance? How are issues of representation dealt with? How do they handle the weight of the history of the medium, which is often hidden in power structures and silenced narratives? And what kind of mediation is necessary while seeking new forms of authorship and interaction with audiences?

Dubs
Tony Murray

Dubs collects Tony Murray's evocative photographs of Dubliners and their city captured as the 1970s gave way to the 1980s. The work is a powerful portrayal of the citizens of Dublin at work and at play-protesting and parading; hawking and trading; busking and begging; courting and sunbathing-against a backdrop of crisis, neglect and decay. An introduction by historian Daithí Ó Corráin alongside an essay by Peter Sheridan and an interview with the photographer place these important images in context.
