Get matched →A4 Sounds invites artists to propose completed work for a group exhibition that will be formed, built, and born over six weeks from the works submitted, beginning with six building blocks drawn from the organisation's ongoing research. This exhibition continues from A4 Sounds' previous group show, The Cosmos, The Earth, and Us.
Born to be alive. Artists respond to a visual brief representing threads from A4 Sounds' research, framed around Gramsci's idea of the interregnum—the old world dying while the new world struggles to be born—against a backdrop of collapsing international institutions, accelerating climate change, violent border regimes, Ireland's position within Western imperialism, pressure on Irish neutrality, and worsening domestic inequality, cost of living, and homelessness.
Submit online with contact information, artist bio (approx. 120–150 words), website/social media links (if relevant), description of proposed artwork (approx. 120–150 words), and documentation (links or file upload, max 10MB, up to 3 files). Selection is on a rolling basis by the curatorial team, voting on how the proposal responds to the theme and the artistic quality of the work. Applications remain confidential and are deleted once selection is complete. The brief is presented as a spreadsheet-based artwork, best viewed in landscape on a computer.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
No application fee.
