Gallery
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
Cocotte Restaurant 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

WANDERINGS IN FRANCE
by Joe STERLING
2
December 2011 – 18 February 2012 |
|
Wanderings in France is a series of
photographs taken between 1980 and 2011. The pictures
were taken in various locations throughout France and
celebrate the cultural diversity of everyday life
there, with each region having its own individual
identity, customs and rituals - all totally unique and
existing simultaneously. This eclectic mixture of images
will inform the viewer of the beauty and
remoteness of some of these regions. Geographical
boundaries, like the Pyrenees Mountains, isolated many
of these communities for generations.
Joe Sterling has been Course Coordinator of
Photography in Sallynoggin College of Further Education
[1989-2011]. He has exhibited in numerous group shows
and solo exhibitions over the past thirty years and is
very involved in the “photo scene” in Ireland. Following
a BA (Hons) in Documentary Photography from University
of Wales College Newport in 1999 Joe Sterling studied in
Dun Laoghaire School of Art and Design for his HND in
Design for Communications in 1980. He was awarded an MFA
in Documentary Photography by University of Wales
College Newport in 2008. |
