Significant Objects by Jim McKeever 21st October to 28th November 2014 at the ADF Gallery, Royal Avenue, Belfast
Part of the Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s, this photographic exhibition by Jim McKeever is staged at the Arts & Disability Forum, on the Ground Floor of Cathedral Quarter Workspaces, at 109-113 Royal Avenue in Belfast. There will be an exhibition preview on Monday 20th October at 5-7pm.
This exhibition tells the story of John, who was placed in care with the Sisters of Nazareth at just one day old and didn’t leave the system until seventeen years later. Collaborating with John over two years, photographer Jim McKeever has created an intense narrative visualising places and objects that represent physical and mental pain.
On Tuesday 28th October, beginning at 2pm, Jim will give a talk about his work as part of the ADF’s Conversations series. BSL communication support and audio description can be made available for both the preview and for the talk – please book this support well in advance by contacting leo@adf.ie or phoning 028 9023 9450.
The preview will be at 5-7pm on Monday 20th October at the ADF Gallery on Royal Avenue. Light refreshments will be available. Following the preview, the exhibition will be open to the public from 21ST October until 28th November between 11am to 3pm, Tuesday to Friday.
