An exhibition of photographs by Simon McDermott - Toradh Gallery, Ashbourne January 28th to February 18th
Date Released: 20 January 2014
Meath Photographer Simon McDermott exhibits at the Toradh Gallery, Ashbourne.
Meath County Council Arts Office are delighted to present Life Outside the Bubble by Meath Photographer Simon McDermott as the first exhibition in the Toradh Gallery 2014 programme.
Life Outside the Bubble is a collection of contemporary portrait photographs. Simon is a graduate of NCAD and has worked extensively in the advertising & commercial art world. His current documentary photo work contrasts with the high gloss imagery of the advertising world.
These recent photographs document life in post celtic tiger Ireland. The people who inhabit the photos live outside of the boom to bust mythologies pervasive in Irish Society over the last decade. The images endeavour to portray domestic realities and while the people may be familiar to us, they are for the most part outside of the mainstream discourse on daily life in Ireland.
The exhibition opens at 7pm 28th January in the Toradh Gallery, Ashbourne Library & Cultural Centre, Killegland Street, Ashbourne and will run until 18th February. The gallery is open to the public during library opening hours.
