The Long Summer Still to Come: Some Aspects of Recent Irish Photography
Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool
28 February - 6 April 1991




Crossing the Bridge, Portadown, silver gelatin print, toner and gouache, 58cms x 58cms, 1986 © Victor Sloan

What can photography do for Ireland, for the Irish, for the photographer in Ireland?
Is photography – as witness alive or dead in an island, the North of which has seen the ongoing incursion of photojournalists greedy for the simplifying image, the South of which has seen the stresses and strains of an ancient timbered Ship-of – state, keelhauled into the polished steel streamlines of a modern liner?
Is photography - as – art alive or dead in an age which explores the possibilities of manipulated photography, of image and text, of sequencing or collage; in an age which frequently explores the interior vision as a metaphor for the exterior one?
The Long Summer Still to Come explores some aspects of recent Irish photography from the North and the South of the island, seeking to create a series of overlapping perspectives upon a troubled and troubling island.
The exhibition is curated by the playwright, critic and curator Brian McAvera, author of Art, Politics and Ireland and Marking the North.
Photographers include: Christine Bond, Michael Boran, Daniel de Chenu, Tony Corey, Sam Gallagher, Sean Gilmartin, Keith Larkin, Jim Maginn, Eilish McCarrick, Michael McCaughan, Adrian McClune, Seamus McGarvey, Peter Neill, Kevin O’Farrell, Hazel O’Neill, Victor Sloan, and Ameila Stein.
