PhotoIreland (originally PhotoIreland Foundation) is an Irish cultural organisation funded to promote a critical engagement with and around Photography in Ireland, and to promote the work of Ireland based artists internationally.
Description[]
PhotoIreland Foundation was founded by Ángel Luis González in 2009. It changed its name to PhotoIreland and currently runs the annual PhotoIreland Festival, the Halftone print fair, amongst others. In 2020 it launched the publication Over Journal – the Critical Journal of Photography and Visual Culture for the 21st century.[1] In addition, it runs an art bookshop called The Library Project, which is host to a gallery programme and offers the PhotoIreland collection of photobooks as a resource library in Temple Bar, Dublin.
PhotoIreland Festival[]
Working alongside independent curator Moritz Neumüller, González held the first annual month long PhotoIreland Festival in 2010.[2]
The Library Project[]
The Library Project is a bookshop at 4 Temple Bar Street, Dublin specialising in books on photography, a library and a gallery space. The library contains photo-books, fanzines and magazines relating to photography.[3] It was founded as part of the PhotoIreland Foundation's work in 2011 with the aim of improving access to specialised photography printed material for purchase or study.[2] It was initially part of a book fair and a collection of material that arose from that event in 2011. PhotoIreland and The Library Project found permanent premises in Temple Bar in 2013.[4][5]
