IMMA welcomes applications for Dwell Here 2027: One Year Residencies for nationwide and internationally based practices to reside for one year at the Museum. This opportunity invites applications across disciplines of the visual arts, design, architecture, curation, and related humanities fields. Successful applicants will be supported to undertake independent site-responsive research.
IMMA’s Dwell Here program is structured around seasonal Research Assemblies delivered together through week-long forums with an expanded community of mentors, peers, and fellow residents gathering onsite for communal engagement and interdisciplinary dialogue.
A one year residency includes a requirement to engage and share process-based research with the expanded community participating in each Research Intensive, the dates of which are:
Spring Assembly: Wednesday 03 – Tuesday 09 March 2027
Summer Assembly: Wednesday 09 – Tuesday 15 June 2027
Autumn Assembly: Wednesday 22 – Tuesday 28 September 2027
The Dwell Here Research Themes (see further down) will inform assembly planning with residents. Engagements may surface as a workshop, a temporary exhibition, a reading group, a walking tour, an open studio, a talk, a site visit, a performance, or other studio related activities with the onsite community and invited guests. In addition to these contributions Research Assemblies will be informed by:
- Methods of presenting self-directed research and studio practice
- Discussions and studio visits with mentors, peers, and fellow Dwell Here residents
- Interaction with IMMA programming, staff, collections, archives, and site
- Off-site visits (local and further afield)
- Engagement with Ireland’s arts communities and infrastructures
- Informal knowledge exchange synonymous with the residency experience such as co-hospitality, co-working and co-living.
IMMA welcomes applications from artists and thinkers who are:
- Based in Ireland or internationally
- Committed to research excellence within their chosen discipline
