'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.
Tony Murray is a Fine Art graduate from the National College of Art and Design and a lecturer in Media Production and Photography at the Technological University of Dublin. The first photographer to receive an Arts Council bursary in 1978, he was one of a small group of young photographers who documented social and religious events in Ireland in the 1980s and 90s. He has exhibited widely in Ireland, England and France and his work has been published in many books and magazines.
