After a year's absence from Damer House Gallery, Homeland 2021 'Dog Days' opened on Saturday 23rd. October in St, Johns Tower adjacent to Damer House. The exhibition was opened by artist, photographer and filmmaker Patricia Wallis.

The Gallery has been closed since 2020 due to Covid-19. It is expected to re-open in March 2022.

The Homeland video selection in Damer House Gallery is dedicated exclusively to video art and film. This annual event aims  to bring together professionals in all fields in the sector, filmmakers, writers, directors and producers within a space with international associations. Homeland has become a National benchmark event, an active platform for the diffusion, creation and management of video art for fans and professionals.

Dear Artists,

 

Damer House Gallery is organizing the seventh year running project 'Homeland 2021' Video – Loop

 

Dog Days

Dog Days are often referred to as those days in August, sometimes too hot and steamy to do anything but ‘hang out’ doing nothing. It is a period marked by idleness, lethargy, inactivity, laziness and indolence.

Our focus is to show a selection of International and National film and video artworks for the duration of 2 weeks in Damer House Gallery, September 2021, in the Institute Cervantes, Dublin in October 2021 and on November 21 at the Loop Festival Barcelona 2021.
