  • Focus on Limerick • Limerick City Gallery of Art ______
    Focus On Limerick • Limerick City Gallery of Art _________________________________________________________________ 12th November 2008 Announcing Two Major Limerick Group Exhibitions Seeing Georgian Limerick and Presence 08 for the Winter Season. Seeing Georgian Limerick, a beautiful photographic exhibition of Georgian Limerick celebrates the City while Presence 08 celebrates the wealth of Limerick’s artistic talent. _____________________________________________________________________ 1. Exhibition Opening: Seeing Georgian Limerick Kieran CLANCY Sean LYNCH Eamonn O’MAHONY Deirdre POWER 27th Nov – 4th Jan 2009 Limerick City Gallery of Art in association with Limerick Chapter of the Irish Georgian Society is delighted to announce Seeing Georgian Limerick, a jointly commissioned exhibition to commemorate 50 years of the Irish Georgian Society. Four artists Kieran Clancy, Sean Lynch, Eamonn O’Mahony, Deirdre Power have been invited to photograph Georgian Limerick. The historic and commercial centre of Limerick, the Georgian new town is extremely familiar, although many of the buildings are underused and have been allowed to decay. The exhibition celebrates the architectural character and the historic importance of the townscape, which are often not fully recognized. To ask the four artists to photograph what they see in Georgian Limerick was an invitation to reveal what has been hidden by familiarity and neglect; architectural coherence, moments of monumentality. Images can show what is normally unseen; the richness of the interior decoration, the life of the lanes. Taken from oblique perspectives the photographs have the potential to uncover an unfamiliar Georgian Limerick. With the power of photography to focus attention and even to transform the ordinary and taken-for-granted it is hoped that the exhibition will help to define the character and value of Georgian Limerick.
