The artists participated in the ArtNature/NatureArt residency programme at Glenkeen Garden in 2024. Glenkeen Garden is a site of around 10 hectares on the coast of West Cork. Carefully crafted by photographer, psychologist, and philanthropist Ulrike Crespo (1950—2019) along with her partner Michael Satke (1943—2024), this garden, nestled on the shores of Roaringwater Bay, has welcomed artists since 2021 for an artist-in-residence programme, facilitated by the Crespo Foundation. The Crespo Foundation is based in Frankfurt am Main and supports the arts and artists, as well as various educational and social initiatives.
With the subtitle ArtNature/NatureArt, the garden has been a temporary home for artists working across various media, immersing themselves in this distinctive environment and the unique and welcoming social tapestry of West Cork. A specific emphasis is placed on scientific collaboration, facilitated in cooperation with the Environmental Research Institute at the University College Cork and Frankfurt’s Senckenberg Research Institute.
The Glenkeen Variations is an exhibition and event series focused on the artists’ return to Ireland. Across events at the Goethe-Institut in Dublin and at Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre in Skibbereen, the former residents present their work to a broader audience and continue their discussions with research and community partners. The series is curated by Ben Livne Weitzman.
