idir - Art Collective

Irish-based idir arts collective.

The artists originally connected at one of NYFA’s Boot Camps that took place in October 2013 with Center for Creative Practices in Dublin, Ireland. After the four day intensive workshop, which focused on the core principles of sustainability, the artists began to meet regularly. A group crystallized through these meetings eventually formalizing the artist collective idir whose name comes from the gaelic for “between,” signifying collaboration between cultures, between countries and between continents. The collective is the first intercultural and cross disciplinary artist collaborative to come out of Ireland.

idir exhibited their multidisciplinary group exhibition G.E.T.1 (Group Ego Trip 1) at the New York Foundations for the Arts in 2014/2015, which was curated by NYFA’s Director of Programs/Curator, David C. Terry
