To mark the opening of Mirage gallery on The Strand, ‘OPEN at Mirage’ is a show that explores this area of Parnell’s seedy past. During gallery hours ‘OPEN at Mirage’ will show heritage photos of the Dilworth Terrace houses and surrounding area of the gallery (once famed for prostitution and ‘unsavory behaviour’).
After hours, the gallery holds a series of events that use photography to explore those ‘undesirable’ themes the area was once famed for in a contemporary context. Artist talks include: Critique my dick pic curator, How to: Tinder photos with Rebecca Zephyr Thomas, and a Tinder profile photo-booth.
