EVA International 2023 Biennial in Limerick Explores Food, Collectivity, and Climate Through Gleaning Metaphor

The 40th EVA International, titled 'The Gleaners Society,' has commenced in Limerick, showcasing themes of redistribution, ecology, and collective action. This biennial exhibition, curated by Sebastian Cichocki, will be on display until October 29 at the Limerick City Gallery of Art, University of Limerick, and Gardens International. It delves into topics such as gleaning, food systems, climate change, and the experiences of marginalized communities. Notable pieces include Gordon Matta-Clark's 1971 FOOD restaurant initiative, Navine G. Dossos's installation 'The Grove,' Frank Sweeney's film addressing Section 31 censorship, and Diane Severin Nguyen's work featuring Polish teenagers. Additional highlights comprise Iza Tarasewicz's sculptures, My-Musical Collective's film about a wartime vegan kitchen, and Clodagh Emoe's large print of ragwort.
