The darkest of colours is the focal point of Dubh, an exhibition of contemporary objects that moved from New York to Dublin, says Tina O’Sullivan

DUBH: Dialogues in Black is an exhibition of objects that reference the colour black. The show is in The Oliver Sears Gallery, Dublin.

The exhibition first ran at the American Irish Historical Society, on Fifth Avenue in New York, last October and November. The project was conceived by Studio Practice, under the direction of Joseph Walsh, the furniture designer based in Riverstick, Co Cork, and curated by Brian Kennedy. Dubh is the second of three shows organised by Studio Practice, a non-profit agency that supports Irish artists, craft persons, and designers in building relationships internationally.
