Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios residency recipient: Gea Gojak
Web: www.create-ireland.ie/create-and-fire-station-artists-studios-residency-recipient-gea-gojak/
Create and Fire Station Artists’ Studios are pleased to announce Gea Gojak as the recipient of the 2021 Remote Residency Award. This award was specifically designed for collaborative socially engaged artists who have first-hand experience of displacement and/or histories of intergenerational migration, and will take place remotely over four weeks in June and July. The remote residency offers a focused professional development opportunity that supports and nurtures the arts practice of a professional artist who is interested in developing or consolidating their collaborative/ socially engaged arts practice.
Gea Gojak is a Croatian theatremaker who uses theatre to explore the way, the means and the language of expression and as an incentive to communicate on relevant socio-political issues. She has produced socially engaged projects that raise questions, communicate with the audience, reveal the world and society as it is, refresh and encourage critical thinking.
The residency is funded through the Arts Council of Ireland’s Artist in the Community Scheme, which is managed by Create.

The second bursary and its theme will be announced in September.

For this bursary, candidates may or may not self-identify as refugee, migrant or otherwise through lived experience and/or second generational memories.
The award emphasises the value and benefit to an artist’s development of an extended process of engagement with their practice, and seeks to provide artists with the time and resources to think, research, reflect and engage deeply with their practice.

Dublin City Public Art Programme Strand 2: Art, Dublin City Council
Category: Commissions
Deadline: 2 September, 4pm
Web: www.dublincityartsoffice.ie
Email: publicart@dublincity.ie
The second Dublin City Public Art Programme will be in place for five years and will offer opportunities to create interconnections between art, public, and the city. Strand 2: Art incorporates commissions undertaken with funding from the Per Cent for Art Scheme through the Department of the Housing, Local Government and Heritage and funding from Dublin City Council capital developments.
Dublin, while having the status of the capital city is also a city of communities and localities reaching from the inner city to outer suburbs. As the social geography of the capital has changed and developed in recent decades so have the demographics of the city. There is a broad understanding of the term ‘communities’ which can include communities of practice, interest or place. Artists are invited to propose commissions which make connections between communities and localities across the city.
Commissions can be achieved through one-off interventions, residencies, collaborative projects, interdisciplinary responses, time based work, etc. In line with the principles of the Per Cent for Art Scheme, the proposed process must involve artists making new work as a central aspect of the commission. Curators, artistic directors and creative producers can also make proposals. This gives opportunities for proposals which reflect a wide range of contemporary art practices while also offering potential for the development of new ideas and projects.
More information can be found at here.

Momentum, Irish Architecture Foundation
Date: until 29 August
Time: 10am – 6pm, Wednesday to Sunday
Web: https://architecturefoundation.ie
Email: bookings@architecturefoundation.ie
Admission: Free
To register: https://architecturefoundation.clr.events
Momentum is the title of a biannual programme at the Irish Architecture Foundation (IAF)’s building, a vibrant centre for architecture in Dublin. The Momentum architects chosen are re-imagining the future of architecture practice, and their work demonstrates a high degree of sensitivity to context, to the environment and to the public.
The intimate spaces within the IAF’s base on Bachelor’s Walk allows the architect to test a theory, revisit an old idea afresh, or present a proposition that can enhance their practice beyond the exhibition. The IAF gallery is used as a stopping off point, a paused moment for reflection on the way to something significant.
IAF are delighted to announce that the planned exhibitions in this series by Noreile Breen, TOB Architect and plattenbaustudio, postponed last year due to public health restrictions will now take place July & August 2021.
