The main program of the 27th International Festival of Multimedia Arts – IMAF 2025 is the presentation of artistic actions , live performances and video documentation , which will be held on August 30th to September 12th, 2025. The festival has traditionally been held for many years now in the SULUV gallery in Novi Sad. New performance to video RING A RING .. performed and documented at my studio July 2025

In her first solo exhibition in Paris, The Conundrum of the Organically Angular, Liliane Tomasko presents new abstract paintings that engage with the architecture and legacy of Le Corbusier. Maison La Roche, built between 1923 and 1925, exemplifies Le Corbusier’s early concept of the house as a space to be experienced physically and rhythmically through circulation, colour and light. Tomasko’s vital, gesturally abstract works unfold as painterly topographies of the unconscious, reflecting on inner states and spatial experience. They are in constant movement, resonating with the building’s modernist conception and its enduring genius loci.
The Conundrum of the Organically Angular is presented by Fondation Le Corbusier and organised by Barbara Huttrop. A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition featuring texts by Tanja Pirsig-Marshall and Loïc Le Gall, as well as a conversation between Liliane Tomasko and Barbara Huttrop.

OPENING RECEPTION WITH THE ARTIST, CURATOR MEET-AND-GREET, FILM SCREENINGS, AND MORE

“It’s terrible to think [about] where I get my inspiration, but all these things are fodder to me as an artist. I love trees. I love mountains. But I don’t want to go out and paint them. I don’t paint to make money. I paint what I want, and I’ve always been political.”

— Patricia Hurl

For the past 40+ years, the painter Patricia Hurl has portrayed the lives of Irish women and their experiences as housewives, child-bearers, caretakers, providers and warriors navigating a male-dominated world, evoking the broad spectrum of emotions felt by her subjects through expressionistic, layered brushstrokes and blending the figurative and abstract.

As part of Irish Gothic, a retrospective of Hurl’s extraordinary career presented by IAC in partnership with the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), we will be offering special opportunities this September for audiences to engage with the artist and her work, including an opening night reception; a talk with curator Johanne Mullan of IMMA; a members-only private tour of the exhibition; screenings of the documentary Dawn to Dusk, which follows the artist collective Na Cailleacha, of which Hurl is a founding member; and gallery hours for an Irish Gothic theatre installation. Admission is free.

Launched by Georgi Kolev 11th June 2025

Exhibition continues 8 August – 3 September 2025.

A group show – artists exploring family journeys, personal journeys, emigration and emigration experiences .

This gallery exhibition centers on the textile installation by artist Varvara Keidan Shavrova, born in Soviet Russia and now living in England and Ireland. The installation features eight screen-printed felt blankets, each depicting images from her family photo album. This social and performative artwork invites interaction: visitors are encouraged to touch the blankets or drape them over their shoulders.

Juxtaposed with the artwork are historical objects from the Documentation Centre’s collection, including a tablecloth from East Prussia, a bedspread from Bohemia, and a small table cover from Brandenburg.

Textiles such as blankets, tablecloths, handkerchiefs, traditional costumes, coats, cloaks, scarves, and throws are poignant witnesses to hardship and suffering. They serve as relics of loss and deprivation, embodying the deeply human desire to connect with warmth, familiarity, and family. These objects offer a sense of solace against the painful experiences of displacement, loneliness, and uprootedness.

Varvara Keidan Shavrova’s work speaks to these shared experiences of millions of refugees, displaced persons, and emigrants, resonating with their enduring stories.

Exhibition Dates: February 2- November 16, 2025

In To the Edge of Your World, Dutch-born, Ireland-based artist Anita Groener uses humble materials—twigs, cardboard, cut paper—to explore themes of loss, displacement, and resilience. Her intricately constructed sculptures and drawings reflect on the shared human impact of migration, conflict, and remembrance, shaped in part by her travels through the American South and global regions affected by upheaval. The exhibition also features the premiere of Shelter, a new animated video created in collaboration with filmmaker Matt Kresling and the Talbot Interfaith Shelter. Drawing from personal narratives, Shelter highlights stories of perseverance and community, echoing the exhibition’s meditation on belonging, memory, and the human capacity to endure.

This Exhibition is supported by Culture Ireland.
