Ireland’s International Festival of Photography & Image Culture.

PhotoIreland Festival 2015

2015.photoireland.org/ @PhotoIrelandFST

The nature of the PhotoIreland Festival is defined by its plasticity, not its rigidity. Meaning, the format of the festival adapts and changes yearly in by its inclusions and in its nature. The 2015 festival saw programming by a diverse selection of local museums, galleries, and cultural spaces during PhotoIreland Festival. This year, we are delighted to include the first major solo exhibition of Stan Douglas work in Ireland. Presented by the Irish Museum of Modern Art in collaboration with Haus der Kunst in Munich and Museé Carré d’art de Nîmes; as well as Wiels in Brussels, Museu Berardo in Lisbon, Nicolaj Konsthall in Copenhagen, and The Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh. The exhibition focuses on Douglas’s recent photography, including the critically acclaimed series, Malabar People, Mid Century Studio and Disco Angola.

We invite you to tour the digital archive of the festival, a mere glimpse into all the programming that took place in 2015.
