What’s On around Ireland

IMMA Collection: Art as Agency is a major three-year display celebrating IMMA’s Permanent Collection as a source of agency and knowledge. Featuring over 100 artists, from the 1960s to the present, it highlights key works, including many recent acquisitions. This ambitious exhibition invites engagement and research over time, allowing for a rich durational experience of Ireland’s Modern and Contemporary Art Collection.

Through thematic, chronological, geographical, and media-based approaches, the exhibition examines how artworks connect across time and contexts, fostering new interpretations and relevance. Works from the 1960s to the 1980s evoke the foundational story of the Irish art world. While acknowledging the context of the modernist, predominantly male dominance of that era, the exhibition also spotlights the material innovation and socially engaged practices of others who persisted despite the relatively conservative status quo.

The exhibition also presents more recent practice that explores urgent global themes such as gender, hybridity, cultural histories, de-colonialism, diaspora, migration, food injustice, climate, and ecological change. Memory, imagination, and storytelling play pivotal roles in these works, offering generative ways to process fragmentation, dislocation, and survival in unfamiliar spaces. New and existing works in the IMMA grounds will extend these themes.

The exhibition includes a specially created ‘white cube’ gallery space inspired by Brian O’Doherty’s renowned series of essays Inside the White Cube – The Ideology of the Gallery Space (1976), that critiques the auratic, market-driven effects of the white cube gallery format. Likewise the choice of works curated for this space pushes back by highlighting works by Post-War American women, pioneering conceptualist artworks by Marcel Duchamp and Brian O’Doherty as well as a contemporary feminist response by Andrea Geyer.

By interweaving historical and contemporary narratives, Art as Agency invites audiences to reflect on the evolving meanings and possibilities of art in shaping our understanding of and action in the world.

Exhibition continues from 15/11/25 until 27/09/26.

Belfast’s Trailblazing Visionary Returns: A New Chapter of  A House of Play Explores Alice Berger Hammerschlag’s Groundbreaking New Gallery
The Lyric Theatre is delighted to present  The Return: Alice Berger Hammerschlag and the New Gallery, a new exhibition within its major anniversary show, A House of Play. This latest chapter revisits the bold legacy of the Lyric’s New Gallery (1963-1969) and its singular Curator and Director, Alice Berger Hammerschlag (1917-1969), bringing renewed focus to a remarkable and often overlooked moment in Belfast’s cultural history.

Liz Johnson’s art practice is project-based. Her recent work explores themes of transience and impermanence, and presence and memory. 

In this series of landscape paintings, she approaches presence and memory from the periphery, as a space of fragility and quiet tension. Where boundaries soften and shift, and form is suggested rather than fixed. She revisits familiar landscapes to reflect on the subtle unease of being tethered to places that are continually in flux – echoing Seamus Heaney’s ‘Postscript’, where the landscape leaves one being “neither here nor there”.  

This sense of being suspended in a moment that can’t be held reflects the Buddhist concept of impermanence, and of how all things arise and pass away. In these moments, the landscape becomes both presence and disappearance. Within these settings, memory exists as something both hidden and tangible — traces of what has been, are held quietly within.  

A Sense of Place invites a moment of stillness and contemplation, to consider how places continue to shape us even as they change or disappear. Rather than resisting transformation, this work reflects on what it means to live alongside it; to accept change and the passing of time as fundamental parts of human experience.

Inequality still reigns across all sectors of our community. This programme aims to support and promote female equality and diversity across race, religion, sexual orientations.
