‘HP40: The Hot Press Covers Exhibition’ is free to visit, and is open seven days weekly: Monday to Saturday 10am to 5pm and 12noon to 5pm on Sundays.

Title:
Village in the city: collaborating on National Photographic Archive exhibitions
The National Library of Ireland’s National Photographic Archive (NPA) actively collaborates with Dublin City Council (DCC) in Dublin’s Temple Bar cultural quarter. This presentation describes the 2013 collaboration between the NPA, Dublin’s Lord Mayor and DCC, the photographer Jeanette Lowe, and the Pearse House Flats community. This community collaboration developed when the NPA lacked acquisitions and exhibitions budgets.
In autumn 2013, The National Library of Ireland’s National Photographic Archive (NPA) and Pearse House Flats jointly housed Jeanette Lowe’s photographic exhibition, Pearse House: Village in the City. Village documented the community of Pearse House Flats nearby in Dublin’s Pearse Street. The NPA exhibition was organised in collaboration with photographer and exhibition curator Jeanette Lowe, Dublin City Council, and the residents of the Pearse House flats complex.
The exhibition Pearse House: Village in the City was a practical and imaginative collaboration between the NPA curator and the self-funded photographer-curator, by way of mounting NPA exhibitions and growing NPA collections, in a severely challenged financial environment. In actively engaging with its local community, the NPA, a National cultural institution, engaged with a new audience. Part of this engagement included creating a living exhibition by way of interactive wall spaces, including a living archive, where exhibition visitors could share their family photographs of Pearse House. Using the exhibition photographer’s Facebook page, facebook.com/Pearsehouse/, the NPA and Pearse House Flats exhibitions interacted with communities both within and, in the year of The Gathering, beyond, the physical exhibition spaces. The collaboration of the NPA with Dublin City Council raised 50% of the exhibition funding requirements, generated revenue to local businesses, engaged large audiences particularly during Heritage Week and during Culture Night, created a larger awareness of the NLI’s photographic collection, and copies of the exhibition photos were to be donated to the NPA.

REFLECTING 1916 – Trish Lambe of the Gallery of Photography
REFLECTING 1916 – Photography and the Easter Rising is a photography-based programme which includes a specially curated photographic exhibition and publication by the Gallery of Photography Ireland. The programme extends to street-based art installations at key locations around the city, outdoor projections, free public talks & tours, a book launch and workshops on how to preserve your family photographs.
The exhibition features photographs taken by eyewitnesses to this pivotal period in Ireland’s history, a number of which are being shown in public for the first time. A key album on show is the Smith Album which was contributed by an anonymous Dublin photographer. The Smith Album is the most amazing set of photographs taken by an anonymous eyewitness at the time which is an ordinary persons view of the week of the Rising, says Trish Lambe, co-director of the gallery. We've got an incredible picture of Moore Lane – 'Rebel Stronghold' – depicting the infamous address, riddled with bullet holes, on the day of the surrender.
A centerpiece installation of large-scale photos captures the destruction of Dublin and offers viewers a dramatic, immersive experience. This is contextualised by explorations of the use of photography to represent the idealism and growing militarism of the revolutionary generation. The wider use of photography as a vital tool for propaganda focusses on Roger Casement and his use of photography to highlight crimes against humanity.
Casement’s own documentary photographs from the Putamayo offer an insight into his evolution from British imperialist to Irish revolutionary.
A further sequence includes images of the widows and orphans of the Rising that were reproduced in the Catholic Bulletin in 1916, highlighting how photography was used to sway public opinion in the immediate aftermath.
There's also a fascinating series of photographs (annotated by Captain Wheeler, who took the surrender from commandant Mallon at the Royal College of Surgeons) showing guns, pouches and canteens: Included in this set is an intriguing photograph of the canteen belonging to commandant Pearse (see above) containing two large onions which he was carrying when he surrendered, says Lambe.
The final section looks at how the Rising has been represented in subsequent commemorations.
Accompanied by a catalogue REFLECTING 1916 - Photography and the Easter Rising with essays contributed by leading writers and historians, Brenda Malone, Orla Fitzpatrick, Professor Luke Gibbons, Dr Justin Carville & Angus Mitchell REFLECTING 1916 is an exploration of the role played by photography in shaping our memory of the Easter Rising.
The gallery's unique and compact interior space, a landmark building which was designed by O’Donnell + Tuomey architects in 1996, has proved a major challenge for staff in accommodating a large-scale exhibition of the likes of REFLECTING 1916.
In 2016, it is evident the gallery requires a more suitable interior to accommodate the ever-increasing larger shows: It's quite a tight squeeze – we now find that the gallery is actually too small to accommodate the type of exhibition we'd like to curate here, says Lambe. We've got a really rich photographic heritage, as you can see with the material on show on the walls. But what we really need now, in order to deliver on the potential of the photography, is a bigger space in the centre of Dublin that can really engage with the public.

The Temple Bar in Temple Bar
See how fast the girl moved when she realised that she was in front of a camera.
Temple Bar is an area on the south bank of the River Liffey in central Dublin, Ireland. Unlike the areas surrounding it, Temple Bar has preserved its medieval street pattern, with many narrow cobbled streets. It is Dublin's cultural quarter and has a lively nightlife that is popular with tourists. Temple Bar is in the postcode Dublin 2 (D2), and has an estimated population of 3,000.
The area is the location of many Irish cultural institutions, including the Irish Photography Centre (incorporating the Dublin Institute of Photography, the National Photographic Archives and the Gallery of Photography), the Ark Children's Cultural Centre, the Irish Film Institute, incorporating the Irish film archive, the Temple Bar Music Centre, the Arthouse Multimedia Centre, Temple Bar Gallery and Studio, the Project Arts Centre, the Gaiety School of Acting, the Irish Stock Exchange and the Central Bank of Ireland.
After dark, the area is a major centre for nightlife, with many tourist-focused nightclubs, restaurants and bars. Pubs in the area include The Porterhouse, the Oliver St. John Gogarty, the Turk's Head, the Temple Bar, Czech Inn (formerly Isolde's Tower), the Quays Bar, the MEZZ, the Foggy Dew and Eamonn Doran's, Purty Kitchen, as well as the newly flourishing Bayfire. Two new squares have been created in recent years — Meetinghouse Square and Temple Bar Square. Meetinghouse Square has been used for outdoor film screenings in the summer months. Since summer 2004, Meetinghouse Square is also home to the Speaker's Square project, which is similar to Speakers' Corner in London.
Meetinghouse Square is home to the Temple Bar Food Market every Saturday. The Cow's Lane Market is a fashion and design market which takes place on Cow's Lane every Saturday. The Temple Bar Book Market is held on Saturdays and Sundays in Temple Bar Square.

36 AMAZING BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS OF IRELAND
Photos from vintag.es Photos from vintag.es The Lawrence Collection in the National Library of Ireland consists of about 40,000 glass plate photographic negatives of Irish scenes dating from the period 1870 to 1910. The Lawrence Photographic Project was a nationwide endeavor coordinated in 1990/1991 by the Federation of Local History Societies and the Federation for Ulster Local Studies, where a thousand scenes from the Lawrence Collection were replicated approximately one hundred years later by a team of 77 volunteer photographers, thereby creating a modern collection to complement the Lawrence Collection.
