New Irish Works 2019: Call for Works.

The call for New Irish Works is now closed.
The list of artists will be announced on 10th December.

PhotoIreland’s triennial call in search of relevant projects by artists based in Ireland returns in 2019 with more ambitious plans for this edition. In previous editions, the project travelled nationally across Dublin, Cork, and Limerick, and internationally to Paris, Madrid and beyond, generating a collection of 20 solo publications in 2016 and a book featuring 25 artists in 2013. The shape of New Irish Works 2019 will be determined by our curatorial team in response to the works selected.

We called all photographers and artists based in the island of Ireland, and Irish artists developing their practice abroad, young and not so young, emerging and established, to submit their recent and ongoing projects to be considered. The submissions are being reviewed by an international panel, and a list of the selected projects will be announced in December 2018.

The launch of New Irish Works will take place on the 4th July 2019, during the 10th Anniversary of PhotoIreland Festival, which will run exceptionally from May to July.
