'AGITATIONISM', the 36th edition of EVA International - Ireland's Biennial

EVA International announces the full programme and exhibition venues for EVA 2014 AGITATIONISM curated by Bassam El Baroni. AGITATIONISM, the 36th edition of EVA International, will simulate the struggle between the tides that pull the present towards romanticisations, utopias, ideologies, and nostalgias; and the tides that attempt to push it beyond those limitations and towards an unknown, a desire for something that remains too complex to determine today. EVA 2014 features works by 56 international artists, selected from over 2,000 proposals by artists in 96 countries, including new commissions by: Doa Aly, Kjersti Andvig, Martí Anson, Ann Böttcher, +billion- (James Merrigan), GRRRR (Ingo Giezendanner), Rana Hamadeh, David Horvitz, Luis Jacob, Mona Marzouk, Asier Mendizabal, Metahaven, Nástio Mosquito, Seamus Nolan, Mark O'Kelly, Garrett Phelan, Ann-Sofi Sidén, Praneet Soi, Paul Tarpey, Humberto Vélez. The 2014 Biennial is open to the public from 12 April to 6 July, with a professional preview on Thursday 10 April, opening on Friday 11 April and Humberto Vélez's The Underdog and EVA International 2014 Cup on Saturday 12 April at Limerick Greyhound Stadium.
