Art after dark

artists, spaces

14 December 2009

At this time of the year, artists, galleries and art spaces take a well-deserved break. What's great is that art is still around... you just have to look for it.

Eamonn Verberne's exhibition "Move" opens on 13 December 2009 at the Centre for Contemporary Photography, in the Night Projection Window. The exhibition is seven days a week, after dark from 14 December 2009 to 20 January 2010.

"'Move' is Eamonn Verberne's latest investigation into the particularities of what tourists do when they go on holiday. Developing previous explorations of the phenomena of vacations, 'Move' questions the need to validate a holiday by capturing it within an image, recording events like experience in a resume, almost as confirmation.

"'Move' examines the vista of the careless tourist and their pursuit of the quintessential image, questioning the very notion of the perfect holiday and our desire to believe in its possibility despite what the picture indicates."

Eamonn has a fabulous sense of humour and this is clearly seen in all of his work. After many years, Eamonn has finally gone digital... I know it has been a slow and large step for him, and I look forward to seeing the work, after dark, in the Night Projection Window.
