DESCRIPTION

Gardens are versatile spaces, ranging from suburban lawns to botanical parks, from open allotments to private enclosures. They reflect our desire to create personal paradises, yet gardens are not natural and “paradise” requires work to shape and maintain it. From cultivation to recreation, gardens are formed through repeated acts over time. There is an interplay between labour and leisure, control and growth. Gardeners, workers, visitors, and plant life become participants in an ongoing, time-based performance. Gerry Blake and Carmel Ennis visited a variety of gardens, and in each location they explored how the garden is enacted by its own vitality, along with the life and energy of those who use it.

For those that are not familiar with the project, TLP Editions is an ongoing collection, produced and designed by PhotoIreland, that presents work by contemporary artists in the form of uncomplicated publications. These are available through The Library Project in-store and online. All and any funds generated by the project go to producing more copies of the publications, ensuring we can keep promoting the artists and practices represented. These editions are regularly showcased and donated to international events and festivals, such as the Icelandic Photography Festival recently. In addition, TLP Editions also grace some important shelves and collections, including that of the Hasselblad Foundation Library and the Martin Parr Foundation.

You can find a list of all the TLP Editions here.
