eva International relaunches in 2012 and will be curated by Annie Fletcher, Curator of Exhibitions at the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.

“Everywhere we look and everything we read right now seems to tell us we are at a new juncture. We are at an unprecedented moment of change – whether teetering on the edge of a financial precipice, or witnessing extraordinary new articulations of protest. This year eva International will attempt to tap into this feeling of imminence by understanding how artists define and explain the status quo in relation to global events. What are we on the verge of? How do artists envisage what is to come and what is to be done?” Annie Fletcher, November 2011.

Artists’ projects will be selected through an international Open Call for proposals and exhibitions will take place in both gallery and non-gallery spaces across Limerick City, Ireland. A programme of talks, workshops and events will accompany the exhibitions and provide further opportunities for audiences to engage.
