This a rolling OPEN CALL for Artists in Residence at LIVE ART IRELAND We are particularly interested in artists who engage with possibilities (or impossibilities) of emancipatory, relational, and reparative art processes. Please note: this is a research residency, so there is no need for a finished performance or film outcome. Although if a project does develop to a point of audience engagement, we are happy to present it on our website and to a live audience, we encourage proposals that actively engage with the local community. You will be asked to provide the website with photo documentation and a short description of your progress during your residency stay. Those who are selected for the residency will be invited to submit a live art film document for our live art video festival – Alive & Kicking in November Residency Includes: Each bed/Studio has an ensuite shower room. The kitchen is shared. Parts of the barns, the fields and woodlands and the fine rooms of the house are all available as places to develop live art projects and art films. We have a fast wifi network.
If selected, we can write you a letter of acceptance which can be used to apply for further funding. Residents are encouraged to cook a meal together in the evenings at least once a week. We do not cook meat here both for the environment and because getting rid of meat waste is an issue in the countryside. You will be allocated a food cupboard and space in the fridge. Transport: There are buses to Borrisokane, Portumna & Nenagh and trains to Cloughjordan – we can pick you up from there. We have bicycles available to ride to Lough Derg. If you have a car you are welcome to drive it here. We encourage slow travel; this means working out the most carbon efficient way of travelling here. This could mean by car if it is electric or hybrid, but generally by bus or train. If you are an artist who normally lives in a location where it would be impractical to travel overland such as North and South America, Australasia, east Asia etc we encourage you to only apply if you are already in Ireland, the UK, North Africa or mainland Europe
