Unusual photo portrait exhibition in Riverbank

An exhibition in the Riverbank Arts Centre beginning next week will be the result of an unusual child-adult series of portraits being taken over the next three days at the Centre, writes Brian Byrne.

I See You Like This is by Australian participation artist Jessica Wilson, and preparation for the showing involves children and a parent having their portrait taken by appointment today and tomorrow, with photographer Kelly Hamilton. During the session, the child is encouraged to answer questions about how they see their adult, which will direct the final portrait. The portraits will be printed and exhibited from Thursday 5 October to Monday 6 November.

A drop-in session will be held on Sunday between 11am-3pm, and portraits taken at that will be part of a digital element of I See You Like This.

Tickets are priced €5 (one child and one adult per appointment) and can be booked through the Box Office, either in person or by telephone on 045 448327 Monday to Friday 9.30am-5pm (closed for lunch 2-2.30) and Saturday 10am-1pm. Tickets can also be booked 24/7 on www.riverbank.ie – Online tickets subject to €1 booking fee per ticket.
