The GAFF, through Creative Communities Midwest, has hosted TRANSITIONS since 2020 as a platform for artists and communities to explore different ways of creating work.

TRANSITIONS 6 explores how Artists’ Collectives survive and function in contemporary times.

Guest Artists include:

Assemble won the 2015 Turner Prize. They are a London-based collective who design and make buildings, artworks, gardens, playgrounds, furniture, exhibitions and events in tandem with the communities who use and inhabit them. They develop business plans, project strategies and create organisations. They design, construct and manage workspaces. They curate, teach, write books, publish research and lecture publicly.

Parsley Collective are five Limerick-based dance artists. Movement research is at the heart of what they do. As part of this research they are refining an approach to improvisation and performance called z(ero)ing. They are currently Artists-in-Residence in Dance Limerick.

Concept Null is a Limerick-based, grassroots collective dedicated to establishing new-media as a recognised art form in Ireland. They aim to nurture a thriving community of artists, technologists and enthusiasts with capacity to produce thoughtful and engaging new media and digital art in an ecosystem from which all can benefit.

Eyebright Collective is a Limerick-based, multi-disciplinary group of artists who formed as a reaction to their collective concern around climate crisis, our relationship to screens and social media and the role of independent art in the modern world.

The Guesthouse is a visual arts initiative that emerged out of the Capital of Culture in 2005 and established the first international artists' residency space in Cork. This domestic setting is a meeting point for creative practitioners to show work, dialogue, experiment and collaborate.
