The colour black has long held a fascination in art, craft and design. dubh: Dialogues in black looks at black as both a physical and an emotional starting point for a group of Irish and American artist’s, craftspeople and designers.

Pairing people from across a range of disciplines ranging from architecture, ceramics, furniture, glass, jewellery, metal, painting, photography, textiles and wood this exhibition featured work from the most interesting creative voices from Ireland in dialogue with their American peers.

This title, was the second publication to coincide with a three year programme of exhibitions, a collaboration between STUDIOpractice and the American Irish Historical Society and followed on from 2010’s MATERIALpoetry.Each exhibition placed the work of contemporary Irish designers within a wider context.
