You may recall a post on the launch of photographer Wally Cassidy’s book ‘The Other Half Lives’ in May which covered Dublin between 1989 and 1993.
Well.
For the first time, the photographs from the book are on display – in the Little Museum of Dublin.
Jill Guest writes:
“The Other Half Lives provides a fascinating insight into a time when Ireland was struggling to define itself. Loosely grouped into four sections – street, protest, Smithfield and punks – this honest and arresting collection brings us face-to-face with an Ireland we may prefer to forget but in many ways is still with us today.”
The exhibition runs until September 7.

As always, no favours, cuddles, or pictures were given for this post.
In 1995, at the age of 61, when the London-based American artist William Utermohlen was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he embarked on a series of self portraits in an attempt to document and understand the degenerative progression of his dementia.
Above: self portraits from 1967, 1996, 1997 (x2), 1998, 1999 and 2000, when the artist was finally admitted to a nursing home where he ceased painting and died seven years later.
After his death, his widow Patricia recalled, “Even the time he was beginning to be ill, he was always always drawing, every minute of the day. I say he died in 2000, because he died when he couldn’t draw any more. He actually died in 2007, but it wasn’t him by then.”
