Homeless Gallery returns to D-light Studios!

dlightstudios — Wed, 04 May 2011 13:40:29 +0000

Due to the massive success of last year’s Homeless Gallery, we are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting the un-curated exhibition for a second year as part of the PhotoIreland Festival.

On Saturday 2nd July we will be opening our doors to photographers of all backgrounds, tastes and levels of experience to present their work wherever they see fit within Dublin’s largest studio space.

The Homeless Gallery will open to the public on Sunday 3rd July. To add to this year’s opening event the day will include talks, presentations and debates from photographers, editors and camera equipment specialists – a day not to be missed by any photographer!

To coincide with the Homeless Gallery we will also have a guest exhibition on display from the Visavis Gallery, Kraków. The group exhibition Non-Seasonal Changes consists of a series of images depicting the Polish town of Niepołomice; a place dramatically transformed since Poland’s entry to the EU in 2004.

The Homeless Gallery and Non-Seasonal Changes will run from 3rd – 6th July.

The whole idea of the HOMELESS GALLERY is that there are no entry criteria. HOMELESS GALLERY is open to all artists. What is eventually shown during an exhibition depends solely on the participants own self-censorship. We do not pick the participants everybody can show their work: star photographers, professionals, those just starting in photography, students and amateurs. We do not select their work either – we have no demands as to subject, technique, format or number of photographs shown. The photographs themselves can be shown in frames, or just prints stuck on the wall.
Everybody finds a piece of wall, ceiling or floor for themselves and hangs their work. All sorts of unconventional forms of display are welcome.

The HOMELESS GALLERY exists to enable everybody to show their work publicly, those who for various reasons would have no chance to show their work to the world. It is for those who cannot afford a prestigious gallery, and for those who would never even think of doing so. It is a chance to be noticed for photography students, and those just entering photography. For professionals it is a chance of showing some of their more personal work that never finds its way into their commercial portfolios. For amateurs it is a chance of showing their work to people other than their nearest family and friends. For those who are shy, it is a chance to pull out those photographs hidden away in drawers.
This exhibition is a fantastic opportunity for professionals, amateurs, students and enthusiasts to congregate and collectively showcase their work without censorship.

Participants are allowed to sell their works during the exhibition time.

All participants have to sign a disclaimer.

There will be a 10EUR fee for all the participants to cover studios utility and cleaning expenses during and after the gallery time.

The admission for visitors will be ~~2eur~~ FREE!

We were very happy to start the year with Ben Murphy’s pop up exhibition in the studio. The set up, reception and take down all took place in one day and Ben’s guests were a selection of personal friends and family.

It was wonderful to see Ben’s fresh interpretation of the space and how his Zen like arrangement of the studio resulted in a wonderful exhibition. We hope to see you at the studio again soon Ben!

Mixed Colony of Beauty: Photographic Exhibition

Connie Byrne Hyland, the CBH Design Team and acclaimed photographer Agata Stoinska, bring you a collaborative photographic collection portraying the ever-changing nature of our surroundings.

The three collections include:

“THE COLONY”; in reaction to the economic recession, this collection was inspired by the rugged beauty and intensity of the natural environment.

“THE BEAUTY AND WISDOM OF AGE” examines the contrast between our ancient mythic past and our modern materialistic present.

“MIXED AND MUMBLED” explores the integral role of immigrants within our local community. It offers a reflection on the participation of all immigrants in our society through work, education, and family.

The photographic collections will be accompanied by short films by film maker Marc-Ivan O’Gorman, and an array of eclectic sounds from music facilitator Eddie Sheehan.

This work was accomplished through the vision and dedication of all participants in “PURE THINKING” community project and demonstrate what can be acheived when a group collaborate together with a positive common goal.

“PURE THINKING” is a community group that has been established to allow the integration of different cultural groups to come together to develop projects,which will include music,photography,film,and art.
