All things must pass…. Last few days of the New Irish Works show in @image.museum.ireland - a three-year initiative from @photoireland featuring 10 Irish artists, and a diverse set of image-making practices.

The works cover a range of themes, from the personal to the political, the archive to memory, and at the core: commentary and responses to the process of making photographs and what contemporary Irish photography means, and can be.

At @overjournal we will be publishing responses from writers on all of the artists, with @aoifeherrity’s wonderful text on @ciara_r_photography already available at overjournal.org. We’ll be publishing four more across online and print this year - with additional texts in 2027.

Going to miss having this show on the door step, closes this weekend.

NEW TLP EDITION: the right hand holds the left, Emily O’Connell

The right hand holds the left (2026), an extension of and the I ran’(2023), further develops the visualisation of the artists’ grandmother’s recollection of her time in a mother and baby home, Ireland, 1964.

These state-funded, religiously operated institutions frequently failed to provide adequate care for mothers and babies. Many babies were given up for adoption, like the artist’s dad. At Castlepollard mother and baby home, women were forced to change their names, some assigned house numbers, others saint’s names, erasing personal identity. O’Connell’s grandmother Muriel became “Bernadette”.

For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.

You can find a list of all the TLP Editions here.

PhotoIreland is kindly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland to develop support projects such as the TLP Editions.
