The Irish Museum of Modern Art is hosting IMMA Outdoors 2022, a vibrant artistic programme that turns the museum inside out and activates the site through artist commissions, performances, music, talks, workshops, and tours.
IMMA Outdoors 2022 explores the environment “and what it means to be radically public” by creating an inclusive space for audiences of all ages to enjoy.
Highlights include a new immersive sonic installation by Em’kal Eyongakpa in the Formal Gardens, and a painted mural installation by Navine G. Khan-Dossos in the Courtyard from July. The outdoor programme culminates in an Eco Event, titled Earth Rising – a weekend celebration of people, place and planet in September.
IMMA Nights presents talks, workshops, dance, performances, film screenings, book launches, DJs and live music, across the site of IMMA Campus on Thursday and Friday evenings. IMMA will also share the site with other cultural organisations, initiatives and artist groups creating a hive of night-time activity in Dublin 8. Highlights include the return of IMMA’s Summer Party on 15 and 16 July; a curated series of poetry and song performances, More than the Reverb, and a series of free Music in the Courtyard events throughout the summer.
Artist collective Forerunner will also to re-stage its seating structures Y O U N G F O S S I I L across the site, offering visitors opportunities to lounge, loiter and reflect.
All this will be enriched by a daytime and late-evening offering, created by IMMA’s Visitor Engagement Team (VET), of bespoke garden tours, art workshops, yoga classes and family activities, that fuse the importance of well-being and engagement with ideas and creativity.
The Flying Dog Café, located in the Courtyard, will open late for IMMA Nights on Thursday and Friday evenings until 8pm.
