Homeless Gallery returns to D-light Studios 1st – 4th July!
Due to the massive success of last two year’s Homeless Gallery, we are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting the un-curated photography exhibition for a third year now! The event will be a part of the PhotoIreland Festival 2012. This year's Homeless Gallery will run from 1st – 4th 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 the work either – there are no demands as to subject, technique, format or number of photographs shown.
All you have to do is register, come on the set up day, find a piece of wall, ceiling or floor and hang your work. All sorts of unconventional forms of display are welcome.
On Saturday 30th June 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. Have a look at pictures from last year's setting up day!
The Homeless Gallery will open to the public on Sunday 1st 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 two guest exhibitions on display from Poland. Those two artists have won the competition in previous issues of BLOW Photo Magazine.
The Homeless Gallery is a great idea 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 all photography 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 is FREE.

BLOW presents OCHO
Fashion photographer, Agata Stoinska, was so impressed with their music that she offered to collaborate with them for their first music video. When Stoinska played OCHO for the award winning Polish Director Marcin Koszalko, he insisted on working with the band on this project.
OCHO flew to Poland in March 2012 and filmed their first music video with Marcin, Agata and a whole film crew, including some of Roman Polanski’s cameramen from The Pianist. The first screening of this masterpiece will be at OCHO’s album Launch on Good Friday 6th April, in association with BLOW Magazine in D-Light Studios. Doors 7pm.
GIGS: 6th APRIL (Launch party) in D-LIGHT Studios, North Great Clarence Street Dublin

To coincide with the Homeless Gallery we will also have a guest exhibition on display from The Visavis.pl Photographers’ Collective, 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.
