Askeaton Contemporary Arts has announced a new artists-in-residence at the Irish Architectural Archive.
Visual artist and film-maker Bryony Dunne takes her multifaceted practice into the IAA throughout 2025, culminating with her first institutional solo exhibition in the city in early 2026. Dunne is an Irish visual artist and filmmaker who engages with the overlap between documentary film, cinema, sculpture, and the natural world. She develops research-driven projects to explore the power dynamics between humanity and nature, the arbitrariness of cultural representation and legacies of colonialism. Oftentimes using fact-based fictions and hypothetical futures to build new interconnected narratives, her sculptures and installations have been shown in museums, biennales and galleries globally, along with participation in numerous film festivals. She was previously resident at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht and in the European Ceramics Work Centre in The Netherlands.
Since 2019, Askeaton Contemporary Arts have partnered with the IAA to create a bespoke residence programme with artists to investigate this vast resource, and publicly present new artworks that explore the histories of the archive and potential futures of the built environment in Ireland.
