As this year marks the 100th anniversary of the 1925 Paris Art Deco Expo, the Bloomsday exhibition at the Olivier Cornet Gallery will be an artists’ response to this period during which James Joyce’s Ulysses was published. The show will feature work by our gallery artists and invited artists who have explored exterior signs of art deco in Dublin, from architectural features in government buildings, through bathing shelters, libraries to hotels and cinemas, for instance. The show will also showcase personal interpretations of that period from family lore through shared stories to current events.

This exhibition will be part of this year’s official programme of the Bloomsday Festival organised by the James Joyce Centre Dublin.
