Between Paul Seawright at the Kerlin, Gerard Byrne at Green on Red and Bright Young Things at the Gallery of Photography, colour photography is big in Dublin galleries at the moment. Dublin-born Byrne is included in the Douglas Hyde's Utopias show, and now his own one-person exhibition has opened at Green on Red. He presents us with a series of ordinary yet perplexing environments, perplexing because they are unexplained and he has no intention of explaining. In fact, he specialises in photographing through windows, into spaces he knows nothing about. The Bright Young Things, meanwhile, are seven recent graduates from various art colleges, including Michelle McGrath's chilling studies of the Dublin City Morgue and Leanne Keaney's dark, eerily lit views of warehouses and industrial spaces. The exhibition is part of a Millennium Eve Season presented in association with RTE.
