    What should be a very interesting exhibition is starting this Wednesday evening at 6:30 at the gallery of photography. The theme of it is images from and around the midlands region. http://www.galleryofphotography.ie/exhibitions/midland.html
    The exhibition, curated by Tanya Kiang, brings together work in three different photographic languages. Working within the modernist tradition, Martin Cregg focusses on new housing, roads and industrial estates in and around his home county of Roscommon. His project, still a work-in-progress, situates the midlands at the frontier of the struggle over Irish identity, portraying a landscape torn between the rural and the urban.

    Ciaran Óg Arnold sees beyond the familiar in his hometown of Ballinasloe. In psychologically charged landscapes and street scenes, this market town is tenderly evoked as an exotic location, a soulful place of despair as well as hope.

    Arnold’s darkly expressionist work contrasts with Michael Snoek’s deceptively simple black and white studies of markings painted by farmers on silage bales in the midlands and beyond. Through Snoek’s patient lens, the markings are transformed into wondrous and rare calligrams. The series pays homage to their starkly graphic, and ultimately mysterious minimalism, and restores to them their enigmatic beauty.

    Opening Reception Wednesday June 25th at 6.30pm. The photographers will be present. The photographs are available for sale.

    Looks interesting anyway, being from this area be interesting to see what people have managed to take out of it!
