Some of our best writers have picked out particular students' works from this year's batch of degree shows around Ireland. More here .



Circa is going through a period of transition at the moment. A combination of severe funding cuts and a sharp  fall in advertising revenue have forced us to suspend publication of Circa Art Magazine at least for 2010. Instead we are concentrating on our online presence, using our resources to get the best writers writing for us, and working to renew our website and its contents. We believe the results will be very worthwhile and exciting. We are currently re-examining all aspects of quality and content at Circa, to bring the best experience to our online readers. As one example of future content (apart from continuing to upload reviews and feature articles on a regular basis to our website), we plan a special online 'issue' this autumn based around the theme of art criticism - it seems very timely, given Circa's new circumstances, to stand back and get a series of writers to look at the basis of Circa's core activity. We look forward to having you with us on this new undertaking.

The boys are back in town (Tuesday 11 May 2010)

The Morton Feldman exhibition at IMMA has returned high drama to high modernism; the works chosen for the show are exquisite. Each piece sits so well within the framework of the show that it has to be seen with a mind to the music of Feldman; something IMMA adeptly managed with a...more

Art in the Making/2: the making in theory

Could we do something for nothing and without funding? Could we even opt against funding as a way of being? Be so cheap that we are free? And instead organise Bake 2 make stalls as fundraisers. We wanted to do something tangible, talk seriously about art in the ...more
