Thank you to everyone who joined us at the International Centre for the Image on 5 February for the launch of AS IF, a new interdisciplinary body of work by photographer Eamonn Doyle, artist-designer Niall Sweeney, and composer David Donohoe. Despite the weather not being on our side, we were happy to host the busiest night at the museum so far!
We wish to extend our deepest thanks to the artists, the Arts Council of Ireland, SoSimpatico, Micromedia, Kennedy Wilson, PhotoIreland’s Board of Directors, the production team, Jameson Distillery, Dingle Brewhouse, and Yamamori.
AS IF continues at the International Centre for the Image after the successful launch, open Tuesday–Sunday, 11am–5.30pm, and running until 5 April 2026.
You can find our more about the AS IF exhibition and related events in the listing page, and see images from the launch event by clicking the button below.

International Centre for the Image
Saturday 7 March
2.30–3.15pm
David Donohoe and David Lacey have a longstanding practice of performance, improvisation, composition, and recording. Utilising resonant metals, wood, objects, and electronics, their music foregrounds space & texture, gesture & silence, flow & discontinuity. They have released two albums as a duo, Noctules (Fort Evil Fruit, 2021) and Obsequio (Verz, 2022), and are currently mixing a new album as a trio with Phil Maguire. This performance sees Donohoe and Lacey in free improvisation within the gallery space, responding to and expanding upon the sonic and visual language of AS IF.

Comprising already 94 publications, with 3 more expected shortly, the TLP Editions series provides a growing collection of accessible, inexpensive publications featuring a wide variety of contemporary photographic practices. Running since 2017, PhotoIreland continues the publishing project in 2026 with a new call for proposals.
We are calling all photographers and artists from or practising in Ireland to present a brief and coherent project for inclusion in the TLP Editions publication series. The series intends to highlight the variety of existing practices and interests, and there is no theme to adhere to. Proposals may include old work, archival, as well as recent or new in-development work. Artists may submit more than one project and submission is free.
Deadline to apply: Midnight Sunday 22 March 2026

PhotoIreland grows the reputation of Irish artists globally through a 360 degree support system and platform for contemporary photography, activated through a diversity of projects. These include events such as PhotoIreland Festival and Halftone print fair amongst others; resources such as the PhotoIreland Collection, a specialised research library of photobooks, and Ireland’s Art Bookshop, The Library Project; via publishing with projects such as OVER Journal and TLP Editions; professional development support through networking and consultancy opportunities; and empowering early and mid-career photographers via our international partnerships, most relevantly through Creative Europe co-funded platforms such as FUTURES and Parallel.
In 2025, PhotoIreland launched the International Centre for the Image, Ireland's innovative cultural venue situated in the Dublin Docklands, with a focus on photography and the visual arts. The centre is a friendly and accessible venue that provides comfortable facilities, from the private artist studios, workshop, and offices, to the welcoming bookshop area, the expansive gallery space, as well as a quiet research library.
