Tethersheet by Aine McBride
Exhibition/Zine Launch | December 16, 2021
6 pm - 8 pm
The Darkroom is delighted to present Áine McBride’s solo Exhibition & Zine Launch, the culmination of her time as a Photographic Artist in Residence at The Darkroom (2020), kindly supported by the Facebook Art Dept.
The printed work brings together a selection of images taken over a number of months while on residency at The Darkroom. These images were taken on a variety of cameras; point-and-shoot; small and medium formats, kindly borrowed and gathered in part. The images were accrued mainly during lockdown when the streets were empty and familiar spaces looked somehow altered and suddenly charged. The folded newsprint
can function as a collection of posters if separated or remain in a fragmented arrangement as a newspaper. They are witness to a development of skill and a honing of an eye. - Áine McBride
