Artlink to host curator tour of exhibition of work by photographer Harry Kerr

A curator tour of The Married Life of Atoms, an exhibition at Artlink of personal photographic work by the late Harry Kerr, is taking place later this month.
The exhibition at Dunree is curated by Harry Kerr’s life partner and work partner Martha McCulloch.
The exhibition is not a comprehensive survey of his previously exhibited projects, but rather a snapshot of Harry Kerr the artist.
The exhibition will include proposals for works that were never realised or only partially realised. This includes a proposal for an installation of slides, illuminated by electronic flash triggered by motion sensors. This is inspired by the images of the apocalypse invoked in the book of Revelations and the Bhagavad Gita as quoted by Robert J Oppenheimer.
Harry Kerr was born in the west of Scotland in 1960 and died in 2022. He was educated at Glasgow School of Art where he gained an honours Degree in Graphic Design and Photography.

Shortly after graduating, he was selected as the first year-long artist-in-residence at Summerlee Heritage Trust, a large industrial museum in his home town of Coatbridge. He later became the Design and Interpretation Officer at the museum. Subsequently, Harry became the first recipient of Scotland’s chief lens-based media prize, the Richard Hough Bursary.
From 1993 until 2000 he was a technical instructor in the Fine Art Photography Department at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art. Harry moved to Donegal with Martha over twenty years ago with the intention of establishing a commercial photography business, while continuing to pursue their own personal art and photography projects.
He was involved with Artlink, teaching photography workshops in the early 2000s and in more recent years designed the organisation's website, produced videos, supported artists in installing exhibitions, designed promotional material, and documented events, approaching this work with his particular flair and commitment to quality.
The curator tour of the exhibition takes place on Saturday, January 20 at 2pm. Email info@artlink.ie to book a place.
