The Flats: Pearse House – Village in the City
Jeanette Lowe

This catalogue was produced to accompany an exhibition in the National Photographic Archive Gallery, Temple Bar and the Pearse House flats. Jeanette Lowe’s family were from the Pease Street area, and so this photobook takes the shape of both archival images from her family’s time there in the 1940s, as well as contemporary photographs of the current inhabitants.

Jeanette Lowe is a contemporary photographic artist who was born and lives in Dublin, Ireland. Her work has been exhibited in Ireland and internationally, notably at the National Portrait Gallery, London, The Royal Hibernian Academy (RHA) Dublin and San Jose, California, USA. Her work is held in Irish and international collections. She studied both photography and visual arts practices at the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) Dublin, and holds an MA in Creative Digital Media from DIT. Jeanette is currently the Artist in Residence at the National Maternity Hospital, Holles St., Dublin and continues to work on her personal projects. ¹
