Greenpark, Dock Rd, LimerickGoogle MapsArrow
  • This stadium opened in 2010 and was designed by Hamilton Architects. It features a racing track for greyhound dogs, a restaurant, bars and the headquarters for the Irish Greyhound Board.
  • The site was one of four venues used for the 36th edition of EVA in 2014, curated by Bassam El Baroni (b. 1974, Egypt) and titled AGITATIONISM.
  • Humberto Vélez (b. 1965, Panama) developed a collaborative performance and event for the opening weekend of EVA, titled The Underdog (2014). A central component to the project was the ‘EVA International Cup 2014’, a special race that renamed competing dogs as a playful critique on art, history, and society. The names given to these racing dogs were: Traditional Family, The Rose of Tralee, Morally Superior, I Have a Dream, Art is Money, No Irish No Black No Dogs. The winner of the marathon was Art is Money. The project was documented and screened as part of the EVA exhibition at the Cleeve’s venue.
