About the MA in Art + Research Collaboration (ARC)
The MA in Art and Research Collaboration (ARC) was launched in 2014 as a full time practical taught masters offered by Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design & Technology (IADT).
The programme is no longer accepting applications and the current ARC cohort is due to graduate in 2025. We look forward to presenting the work of current students in a group exhibition at the LAB Gallery that launches Wednesday 11 December 2024, 6-8pm.
Since 2014, ARC students and graduates have developed projects exploring how art intersects with many different fields of enquiry, including archaeology, architecture, biology, computing, craft, dance, design, education, engineering, environmental science, fashion, fiction, history, geology, philosophy, publishing and theatre.
ARC students have been encouraged to install and present their work in a variety of studio, rehearsal and gallery contexts. They also received professional development support to realise their Major Project, including advice on funding from public and private sources, fabrication, insurance and public liability.
Key contributors to the programme team have included Sheena Barrett, David Beattie, Alan James Burns, Maria McKinney, Lisa Moran, Sean O’Sullivan, and Matt Packer.
Visiting artists, critics and curators have included Catalyst Arts, Mary Conlon, Chris Fite-Wassilak, Damien Flood, Jennie Guy, Isobel Harbison, Emma Haugh, Alissa Kleist, Jaki Irvine, Sasha Litvinseva, Peter Maybury, Paul McAree, Julia Moustacchi, Ciaran Murphy, Gavin Murphy, Nathan O’Donnell, Mark O’Gorman, Marguerite O’Molloy, Livia Paldi, Sue Rainsford, Read That Image, Linda Shevlin, Lucy Steeds, Adam Stead, Kate Strain, Marysia Wieckiewicz-Carroll, Oonagh Young and many others.
Since 2014, ARC collaborated with organisations that include Dublin City Council Arts Office, the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), The Dock, Highlanes Gallery, Pallas Projects, and Temple Bar Gallery + Studios.
