Extraordinary to see this work & these images and artefacts spanning Abromovic's Rhythm Series and to just have the time to walk among them.

One of the greatest Irish novels, unpacking the obligations of family & documenting an Ireland of stifling morality, thankfully long gone. McGahern excels at small-town claustrophobia and there is no better chronicler of Leitrim's green lanes. Honoured to write this foreword. @faberbooks.bsky.social
Come join us on April 23!
