• Veronica Ryan, Cavities, 1988 

About the Exhibition
Veronica Ryan: Unruly Objects, coorganized with the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, presents over 100 sculptures, textiles, and works on paper by the Montserrat-born British artist.

Based in New York since the 1990s and traveling often to the UK, Ryan’s work is influenced by transatlantic exchanges. She creates a network of connections that bring together personal and global histories of travel and migration as well as narratives of healing, nurturing, and belonging. The exhibition also highlights her frequent return to past works and ideas in pursuit of new conversations. Through this continuous reshaping, she asks us to consider life itself as a process of constant growth, navigation, and change.

IMMA Collection work on Loan:

• İz Öztat, Zişan Felaket [Catastrophe], 1923-2016

About the Exhibition
The main exhibition of the 6th Kyiv Biennial 2025, titled Near East, Far West, is organized by a consortium of curators from L’Internationale, a European confederation of museums, art institutions and universities. It features seven new artists’ commissions, alongside works from the collections of member institutions of L’Internationale and a number of other loans.

The exhibition takes place in a time of ongoing wars, occupations, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Israel’s brutal operation in Gaza, and the broader fascist turn in global politics. The title Near East, Far West points to the current geopolitical reality and calls for a reorientation of the notions of “East” and “West.”

IMMA Collection work on Loan:

• Dorothy Cross, Parachute, 2005

About the Exhibition 

At the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb, the Art Pavilion in Zagreb presents a selection of works by contemporary Irish artist Dorothy Cross, created over the past three decades, in the exhibition Dorothy Cross: Kinship.

The backbone of the exhibition Kinship/Srodstvo is the artist’s recently completed project Kinship – Home, her multi-year effort to return the mummified body of an ancient Egyptian, which was owned by the University of Cork, home to Cairo. By returning the body of the deceased to where looters and antiquities dealers desecrated his grave, Dorothy Cross points to the history of colonialism woven into the cultural history of the West, and at the same time pays tribute to the thousands of refugees for whom the Mediterranean Sea is now a tomb.
