TOWN: Book Launch & Evening with the Artists

Please join us for the launch of an exciting new artists’ book project from Dublin based The Salvage Press.

Dublin city, referred to as Town by locals, is a landscape premised upon a complex history of siege, captivity and desire. In the Irish language, the city takes its meaning from the words ‘dark pools’. In this suite of poems, Annemarie Ní Churreáin honors the pulse and flow of a population which despite an increasingly globalised atmosphere and within the context of an EU border, continues to bear forth the shadows and unique shadowlight of Dublin’s past. Rich Gilligan has captured a snapshot of life in the city, exposing elements of an often overlooked community in the Irish urban landscape. Through design and production, Jamie Murphy has nurtured the relationship between text and image, creating a powerful new narrative – allowing for both moments of quiet reflection and instances of dramatic intensity.
This special one-night event will feature an exhibition of hand-printed photographs by Rich Gilligan, a live poetry recital by Annemarie Ní Churreáin and Jamie Murphy will talk about the making of the book, exploring the ways in which the collaborators interacted with site, materials, production tools / values and collaborative working methods.
