Eunice Adorno Martínez
Eunice Adorno Martinez’s photographic documentary work focuses on the dynamics of migration, music, identity, youth, and traditions. She seeks conceptual and discursive routes for a visual poetry on migration and explores concepts such as trajectory and reunion. Her current project focuses on Mexican migration in neighborhoods of New York City, considering identity, tradition and festivities of Mexican youth. Martinez is exploring ways in which young people meet and interact with other generations, social groups and cultural norms.
Eunice Adorno Martinez lives and works in Mexico City and her photography has appeared in a wide range of publications, including national magazines and photography journals. She is the recipient of the 2010 Jovenes Creadores Grant Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes for her series Fraum Blam, and has an upcoming publishing project with Fabrica editorial de España.

Past Resident2011: Arts Council of Ireland
Paul Murnaghan
Situated between belief, knowledge, and faith, and drawing on the generosity of exchange, Paul Murnaghan’s practice investigates fragmentary points of intersection between spiritual, scientific, and psychological phenomena. His work considers an aesthetic of empirical faith and frequently attempts to re-inhabit thinking that has lost contemporary credibility. The results of these actions manifest through a multitude of forms and disciplines. Recent projects have employed air, hypnotic regression, and rumour as integral components.
Paul Murnaghan is an Irish artist living in Dublin. Recent exhibitions include, Video Killed the Radio Star at The Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin and Memorious as part of MOPE at The Kunsti Museum of Modern Art in Vaasa, Finland. Murnaghan has exhibited extensively, including group shows in the Philippines and United Sates and solo exhibitions in Finland, Estonia, Germany, and Ireland. His projects such Neocredo (an attempt to write a universal hymn) and Memorious (the selling of his personal memory capacity) also traveled to Sweden and Slovenia. Murnaghan includes curating as part of his practice, and he is currently curator at Place Gallery in Gorey, Co. Wexford, Ireland. He conceived and co-curated This Must Be The Place at IMOCA in Dublin in 2009, and he was the founder and Artistic Director of 5th Gallery at Guinness Storehouse.
