The Faces Project at Culture Night

Heading into Culture Night in Cork tonight? Stop by the Blackrock Scouts Hall on your way in to see the Faces Project by Cork Analogue Photographers (aka Eyesoup).

You can find directions on Cork Culture Nights’ website here

Cork Analogue Photographers are representing their collection of portraits taken during the summer of 2010. The body of work reveals people attending various concerts at the Marquee. The aim of this work is to discover and reflect on diversity among different music fans in and the energy that is unique to the festival season.

Portraits in this collection were taken before the live performances of bands such as Megadeath, Kenny Rodgers, Paul Weller, Deep Purple, Snoop Dog, Tony Bennett and Madness.

 

Cork Analogue Photographers is a small group of artistic self- funded photographers working together since 2008 solely with film-based photography. We enjoy the craft of shooting and printing film. In the midst of modern technology we are passionate about analogue and alternative processes and certain that the film photography should not be lost. All the work in this exhibition has been hand printed @ Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork.

From the ashes of eyesoup …

We took a break, had a rethink about our previous rethink, and decided that it was time for eyesoup to revert to its old name – Cork Analogue Photographers.

Keep an eye out over the next few weeks, as we get the wheels back on this wagon!

Time for a break

Closing time © Rory O’Toole

The whole damn place goes crazy twice
and it’s once for the devil and once for Christ
but the Boss don’t like these dizzy heights
we’re busted in the blinding lights,
busted in the blinding lights
of CLOSING TIME

 

It’s time to take a break from blogging

Thanks for reading, thanks for contributing

THERE THERE

 

THERE THERE is a photographic event in Cork City, curated by Stag & Deer and launching on October 18th 2012. THERE THERE will bring more than 30 international, national and local lens-based artists under one banner.  There’ll be six different exhibitions with different concerns sharing a common thematic framework, responses to ‘otherness’.  We have secured an internationally recognised female photographer to anchor the event, Viviane Sassen.
