With a view to creating a new premium photographic space in the city both to showcase local talent and to forge new links in this area between France and Ireland, the Alliance Française Dublin formed a committee of some of the leading personalities (teachers, curators, artists) of the capital's photographic world.

Exhibitions usually run for approximately eight weeks. The Alliance Française is not in a position to finance the production of the photographic material but undertakes to promote and officially launch the exhibition.
Artists who want to show their work in our Gallery should provide a portfolio, website, or CD of their work, for the attention of the committee which is responsible for the programming of exhibitions.
Artists should be aware that exhibitions take place in the Café des amis at the Alliance Française, so this venue is not a dedicated gallery space.

The advisory committee of the gallery of the Alliance Francaise is composed of:

Margaret Brown
Helen Carey
Tessa Giblin
Johnnie Gratton
Anthony Haughey
Tanya Kiang
 

Pierre Jamet (1910-2000) acquired his first camera in 1924. In the crisis years of the 1930s he did all kinds of jobs and began to produce reportages for various magazines from the period, notably the weekly magazine Regards which in the pre-war period employed photographers such as Capa, Chim and Cartier-Bresson. Like him, Pierre Jamet is associated with the Humanistic Photography movement. Some of his pictures are amongst the most important of his time.
This first retrospective in Ireland focusses on Belle-Ile en Mer, an island off the coast of Brittany where Pierre Jamet worked as a young man and where he spent the later years of his life.
