Living Canvas at IMMA is a partnership between IMMA and IPUT Real Estate, Ireland’s leading property investment company and visionary supporter of the arts, that brings Europe’s largest digital art screen to the grounds of IMMA. The screening programme presents contemporary art films and moving image works, allowing visitors and the wider community to enjoy a vibrant programme of artworks by Irish and international artists in IMMA’s beautiful surroundings.

From Thursday 8 – Wednesday 21 January we are thrilled to screen Yes, But Do You Care? by artist Marie Brett, as part of a national tour of a series of audio-visual artworks by the artist. Yes, But Do You Care? is an audio-visual film combination of dance, sculptural installation and sound. Set in a huge warehouse as a live overnight event, five performers interact with a ton of salt, big bundles of sticks, haptic projections and a soundscape that collages real-life stories with legal statute. This evocative art piece is layered and complex. It explores the politics of autonomy, family caregiving and capacity legislation. It asks difficult ethical questions related to overlooked elements of human-care interrelation.
