REVIEWS:
'A new wave of Irish art' by Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times, june 27, 2007
"The shows in the National Photographic Archive and the Gallery of Photography were of a thoroughly professional quality and featured a range of noteworthy individual projects, some of them really ambitious. Included here Laura McGovern's The Darkness Nourishes It.
...In quite a different vein, McGovern took on the daunting challenge of responding to the fiction of cult Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, concentrating on the experience of solitude on the part of young, male protagonists. Her glittering, night-time images are eloquently atmospheric, rich and involving." - Aidan Dunne
