SUMMARY:IMMA Collection: Art as Agency | Group Exhibition at IMMA
DESCRIPTION:IMMA Collection: Art as Agency is a major three-year display c
 elebrating IMMA’s Permanent Collection as a source of agency and knowled
 ge. Featuring over 100 artists\, from the 1960s to the present\, it highli
 ghts key works\, including many recent acquisitions. This ambitious exhib
 ition invites engagement and research over time\, allowing for a rich dura
 tional experience of Ireland’s Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.\n
 \nThrough thematic\, chronological\, geographical\, and media-based approa
 ches\, the exhibition examines how artworks connect across time and contex
 ts\, fostering new interpretations and relevance. Works from the 1960s to 
 the 1980s evoke the foundational story of the Irish art world. While ackno
 wledging the context of the modernist\, predominantly male dominance of th
 at era\, the exhibition also spotlights the material innovation and social
 ly engaged practices of others who persisted despite the relatively conser
 vative status quo.\n\nThe exhibition also presents more recent practice th
 at explores urgent global themes such as gender\, hybridity\, cultural his
 tories\, de-colonialism\, diaspora\, migration\, food injustice\, climate\
 , and ecological change. Memory\, imagination\, and storytelling play pivo
 tal roles in these works\, offering generative ways to process fragmentati
 on\, dislocation\, and survival in unfamiliar spaces. New and existing wor
 ks in the IMMA grounds will extend these themes.\n\nThe exhibition include
 s a specially created ‘white cube’ gallery space inspired by Brian O
 ’Doherty’s renowned series of essays Inside the White Cube – The Id
 eology of the Gallery Space (1976)\, that critiques the auratic\, market-
 driven effects of the white cube gallery format. Likewise the choice of w
 orks curated for this space pushes back by highlighting works by Post-War 
 American women\, pioneering conceptualist artworks by Marcel Duchamp and B
 rian O’Doherty as well as a contemporary feminist response by Andrea Gey
 er.\n\nBy interweaving historical and contemporary narratives\, Art as Ag
 ency invites audiences to reflect on the evolving meanings and possibilit
 ies of art in shaping our understanding of and action in the world.
