Gareth McConnell
An Illusion
Gareth McConnell’s work is influenced by the dual experiences of growing up in Northern Ireland / The North of Ireland at the height of the conflict and coming of age as part of the rave generation in the 1990s. An Illusion will include works from 1995 to the present day and will be the most extensive presentation of McConnell’s photography at a UK institution to date.
We produce three major photography exhibitions each year and host a range of other displays. Entry is free and our gallery is open five days a week from 11am—5pm, and 11am-6pm during the month of August for the Edinburgh Art Festival.
Across our exhibition programme we have three key priorities: to present historic work from collections and archives; to bring internationally renowned photography to Scotland; and to showcase new work by artists based in Scotland, particularly those at an early stage of their careers.
