‘No Use Crying’
An exhibition of photography
By Catherine Devlin
14th - 22nd January 2011
Opening on Thursday 13th January 6-9pm
Platform, 1 Queen’s Street, Belfast .
Catherine Devlin studied photography at Edinburgh College of Art and has recently completed a PhD at the University of Ulster , Belfast . This show presents a body of work completed during Devlin’s time on the PhD course.
‘Whilst my work is firmly rooted in what might be termed straight photography, I often implant sculptural pieces onto the landscape to expose the inorganic nature of our contemporary world. By using a variety of methods to present my work, I endeavour to manifest yet elevate the banal in order to bring out the intriguing and somewhat droll nuances of our daily lives that remain largely unnoticed but are nonetheless affective. With the built environment of Belfast as backdrop, this exhibition includes three new bodies of work and an older large-scale photographic installation. Thematically, this exhibition addresses loneliness, identity and temporality in the urban experience, but it’s not as grim as it sounds, promise.’
Catherine Devlin.
Opening is on Thursday Jan 13th from 6 - 9 p.m.
The exhibition runs until Saturday 22nd January and it is open to the general public Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 4pm.
