EVA International has announced the selected artists for the Platform Commissions programme of the 41st EVA International—Ireland’s Biennial of Contemporary Art: Éireann and I (Joselle Ntumba and Beulah Ezeugo), Colm Keady-Tabbal, Olivia Normile, Bridget O’Gorman, and Lyónn Wolf.

The selected artists will work with EVA International to develop projects that will be presented as part of the biennial programme, taking place from Autumn 2025 across Limerick city. Proposals were selected by Iarlaith Ní Fheorais and Roy Claire Potter, following an open call process that invited artists to respond to ideas and definitions of access.

Iarlaith Ní Fheorais and Roy Claire Potter remarked on the selection process, “I was deeply impressed by the breadth of vision in which access was considered and how it could be applied through artistic and participatory means, folding in broad concerns, geographies, and affinities.”

Roy Claire Potter added, “I was encouraged and impressed by the readiness of all the applicants who were willing to pursue thought and practice that expands from definitions of access. A great number of artists in Ireland are socially and politically driven toward not only inclusion, but hybrid methodologies for high impact art making.”

EVA International Director, Matt Packer, stated, “The Platform Commissions initiative continues to provide a unique opportunity for artists based in Ireland to develop new and uniquely ambitious works, within the supportive and artist-focussed environment of EVA. We look forward to working with all of the selected artists over the next months, ahead of the 41st EVA International in 2025.”
