Bloomsday Art Exhibitions
Bloomsday art exhibitions at the Olivier Cornet Gallery, Dublin, Ireland
Bloomsday is an annual event and the name of a festival held in Dublin (Ireland), in various countries in Europe and around the world. It celebrates Thursday, the 16th of June 1904, the day depicted in Ulysses, James Joyce’s famous novel. The day is named after the central character in the novel, namely Leopold Bloom. James Joyce's book, published by Sylvia Beach
in Paris in 1922, chronicles the life and encounters of Leopold Bloom with other real and fictional characters in and around Dublin.
With The James Joyce Centre Dublin
being just a stone's throw away from us and due to the influence of artist, gallerist and Joycean enthusiast Gerald Davis on this French gallerist, the annual Bloomsday Festival has occupied an important part in the life of the Olivier Cornet Gallery. Indeed, we have been part of the annual festival organised by our neighbour for a good few years now.
Here is a look at the art exhibitions we have curated or co-curated around various themes related to the modernist novel:
Opening hours:
