In
1974 the
Irish Network of the
Alliance Française was at its
peak with a record number of centres and student
registrations, and the establishment of the
Délégation Générale
in the prestigious premises of 1 Kildare Street.
As a sign of its vitality the network developed
the magazine
Contacts
to presents what’s happening both in the Irish
network of Alliances Françaises and in the Paris
Alliance, diplomatic and economic works
between France and Ireland, academic
essays, cultural reviews,
teaching aids, etc.
This exhibition centres around 4 types of
imagery: original covers, cultural
events, original illustrations and
also vintage advertisements which
were often tailor-made for the magazine by big
names of yesterday and today, French and Irish
alike. |

There he explored many photographic

nightlife of the Temple Bar area.

Open House Dublin
is Ireland’s largest architecture festival,
inviting all citizens to explore their city
with architectural tours provided by
expert guides.
One of the jewel of Dublin city centre,
the
Alliance Francaise’s
building, formerly the Kildare Club, was
designed in 1858 and completed in 1861. Its
architects, Benjamin Woodward and Thomas
Newenham Deane, also designed the Museum
Building at Trinity College Dublin. Their
architecture was influenced by the writings
of John Ruskin on the role of the
craftsman and the social
responsibility of public art. One of the
most celebrated architectural elements
of the building is the imaginative
and skillfully carved animals that can
be seen on the bases and capitals of the
large external columns. The tour this year
will also include the newly renovated
French Library.
