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.
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
