Dwell Here offers participants a simple proposition: to commit to this time and place while thinking deeply about its urgencies. Together we are curious to learn what can be activated or challenged through the process of dwelling.

Application deadline 18 Sept 2024

IMMA welcomes expressions of interest for a Dwell Here: One Month Residency for practices based in Ireland and internationally to reside and practice for up to a month at the museum. This opportunity invites practices working across disciplines of the visual arts, design, architecture, curation and related humanities fields. Successful applicants will be supported to undertake independent site-responsive research in addition to their participation in a week long seasonal research intensive.

IMMA’s Dwell Here programme is structured around four seasonal Research Intensives – week-long forums with an expanded community of mentors, peers, and fellow residents gathering onsite for communal engagement and interdisciplinary dialogue. One month residents are invited to undertake independent, site-responsive research for three of their four week residency. The fourth week (whether at the beginning, middle, or end of their contracted residency) must overlap with a selected seasonal Research Intensive week. This open call is programming for intensives on the following dates in 2025:

Dwell Here: Spring Research Intensive / Wednesday 05 – Tuesday 11 Feb 2025
Dwell Here: Summer Research Intensive / Wednesday 14 – Tuesday 20 May 2025

A one month residency includes a requirement to engage with the expanded community participating in each research intensive. Themes highlighted in the Dwell Here: Research Invitation will inform intensive planning. Studio 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 for the onsite community and invited guests. In addition to these potential activities it is anticipated that each Research Intensive 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 a co-living environment

A one month residency offers participants deeper insights into the context of visual arts practices in Ireland, strengthening international connections and communities with the potential to prompt ideas for embedded projects such as public workshops, continued practice based research or even commissions which will be welcomed to emerge as proposals following the one month sited experience at IMMA

IMMA welcomes Expressions of Interest from artists and thinkers who are:

Based in Ireland or internationally
Committed to research excellence within their chosen discipline

One Month Residency Supports

Free onsite accommodation (with your own bedroom and separate to studio)
Access to an onsite IMMA studio (if required)
Amenities such as electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, parking etc
A weekly bursary of €250 for pre-agreed contracted weeks
One return journey for residents living outside of Ireland
IMMA’s residency is a self-catering facility, occasional hospitality is provided
