Overview
At this time, in the interest of protecting our artists, audiences, teachers, students, colleagues, and the vulnerable among us, we will be suspending all IAC events and classes and events through the end of March. Please read our full statement here.
A remarkably candid exhibition of eight 24"x20" hand-printed photographs that captures the geographic divide between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
Stephen McGinn, son of a retired customs officer who patrolled the unapproved roads, returned to Northern Ireland in 2019 to document the Armagh borderland of his childhood. He did so without agenda of persuasion or nostalgia, but simply as he found it: empty and dormant, enduringly ordinary in spite of its extraordinary history and precarious position in the fractured Brexit landscape.
Stephen McGinn was born and raised in Ireland and moved to London at age 19 to pursue a career in photography. Now based in Brooklyn, McGinn works primarily in still life and beauty.
