Building Material 19 Art & Architecture excerpts: Deconstructing the Maze by Dara McGrath

Dara McGrath
Dara McGrath is a photographic artist. He is interested in exploring the transitional lives of spaces, the in-between places where architecture, landscape and the built environment intersect, and where a dialogue – of absence rather than presence – is created. His photo works are realised both within the structure of the gallery space and as site specific interventions/installations and collaborations. Recent projects include:The Lives of Spaces, Irish Pavilion 11th International Architecture Biennale Venice (2008); European Night, Rencontres d’Arles, France (2008); Singapore Photo Festival 2008, National Museum of Singapore (2008); The City, Nordic Arts Centre (2008); Beyond the Country, Lewis-Glucksman Gallery, Ireland (2007); Idensitat ’07, Priorat Centre d’Art, Barcelona, (2008). He was the recipient of the 2003 AIB Arts Prize and several Arts Council of Ireland Awards.
