ARTIST BOOK LAUNCH

GRAMMAR by Roseanne Lynch

Grammar, a stunning new collection of photographs by Roseanne Lynch

______________________________________________________________

Artist and MTU lecturer Roseanne Lynch will launch her book Grammar this Thursday at mtu Crawford College of Art and Design. The exquisite photography book is the culmination of a two year engagement with the Bauhaus Foundation in Dessau, Germany.

While at the world-renowned Bauhaus Foundation, Lynch immersed herself in the sites of the Bauhaus and its Materials Research Archive while also working through the elementary design teachings of the Bauhaus School with photographic processes. Her images act as visual prompts through the recognition of modernist identifiers showing the power of photography in shaping the visual history of modern architecture.

SUPPORTED BY MTU ARTS OFFICE CREATE LE CHEILE ARTS PROJECT FUND

Lynch’s work is held in collections at The Glucksman Gallery, Cork, The National Collection of Ireland and various national and international private collections.

“No Want of Evidence”, a solo show by Roseanne Lynch curated by Pádraig Spillane is currently showing at the Photo Museum of Ireland in Dublin until July 8th. Writing in The Irish Times, arts critic Aidan Dunne said Lynch’s “meticulous examination of light in photography is admirably concentrated and reassured.”

The publication of Grammar is made possible with support from MTU research office, MTU arts office and MTU Crawford College of Art and Design, Cork City Arts Office and the Arts Council of Ireland.
