Unapproved Roads: Stephen McGinn (Spring 2020)
Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at 6:00PM

Irish Arts Center
553 West 51st Street
New York, NY 10019


A remarkably candid exhibition of eight 24" x 20" hand-printed photographs that captures the physical divide between Northern Ireland and the Republic.

Stephen McGinn, son of a retired customs agent who'd manned checkpoints in his working years, returned to NI in 2019 to document the Armagh borderland of his childhood. He did so without agenda of persuasion or nostalgia, but simply as he found it: empty and dormant, enduringly ordinary in spite of its extraordinary history and precarious position in the fractured Brexit landscape.

Stephen McGinn was born and raised in Ireland and moved to London at age 19 to pursue a career in photography. Now based in Brooklyn, McGinn works primarily in still life and beauty.
