Exhibition 'The Glenkeen Variations: ArtNature/NatureArt’
Glenkeen Garden is a landscape park on Roaringwater Bay in West Cork, Ireland, designed by Ulrike Crespo. Since 2021, it has been the site of an artist in residence programme, the results of which will be shown for the first time in the exhibition 'The Glenkeen Variations: ArtNature/NatureArt’.
‘The Glenkeen Variations: ArtNature/NatureArt' marked a premiere in two respects: it was the first exhibition of the first phase of the Glenkeen Garden Residencies and the first exhibition in the open space of the new Crespo Haus in Frankfurt.
