IMMA | texts is a digital publication, produced by the Irish Museum of Modern Art, presenting new and archival writing and research in response to aspects of the museum’s programmes, collections, and archives. IMMA | texts uses a publishing model that draws together newly-commissioned work and archival material with contemporary concerns.
Through a bi-annual call for research papers, IMMA invites researchers to respond to aspects of IMMA’s programmes and activities focusing on a particular theme. Papers are peer reviewed and selected papers are published in a journal and on IMMA’s website.
Other texts relating to the selected thematic are sourced from IMMA’s archives such as catalogues and talks.
