IMMA’s 2016 programme will be informed by several key thematics, which include the role of the artist in society, the site of IMMA as a place of memory and history, and the role of remembrance in contemporary society.
These themes will be explored through an additional programme for 2016 which will run in parallel with the museum’s full programme of Irish and international exhibitions. This additional programme will consist of three major commissions that will be shown during 2016 and then become part of the IMMA Collection as part of the legacy of 2016.
The commissioned artists are Jaki Irvine, Simon Fujiwara and Duncan Campbell.
Cuirfidh líon téamaí tábhachtacha bonn eolais faoi chlár 2016 Áras Nua-Ealaíne na hÉireann, lena n-áirítear ról an ealaíontóra sa tsochaí, suíomh Áras Nua-Ealaíne na hÉireann mar áit le haghaidh cuimhní agus staire, agus ról an chuimhneacháin sa tsochaí chomhaimseartha.
Déanfar scrúdú ar na téamaí seo trí chlár breise le haghaidh 2016 a bheidh ar siúl ag an am céanna le clár iomlán an mhúsaeim de thaispeántais Éireannacha agus idirnáisiúnta. Beidh trí mhórchoimisiún sa chlár breise sin a thaispeánfar in 2016. Ina dhiaidh sin, cuirfear i mBailiúchán Áras Nua-Ealaíne na hÉireann iad mar chuid d’oidhreacht 2016.
Is iad na healaíontóirí coimisiúnaithe Jaki Irvine, Simon Fujiwara agus Duncan Campbell.
