Exhibition opening on Wednesday, 13 May, from 6 pm at Goethe-Institut Irland. All are welcome!

Gathering Winds is the latest installment in the exhibition series The Glenkeen Variations at the Goethe-Institut in Dublin.
The exhibition brings together Eva Posas and David Habets (who collaborate as Mbuchi), Sonya Schönberger, and Forerunner, whose works are each shaped by their time as artists-in-residence at Roaringwater Bay in West Cork: from kites and emergency radios that track radio transmissions across the Atlantic to photographic meditations on stone and the body.

Glenkeen Garden Residencies, the artist-in-residence programme organised by the Crespo Foundation in West Cork since 2021, aims to encourage artists to explore the relationship between art and nature. Glenkeen Garden, which means “Garden of the Beautiful Valley” in Irish, is a property of the Crespo Foundation. Twice a year, groups of artists are invited to Glenkeen Garden for three-month residencies.

The exhibition and event series is curated by Ben Livne Weitzman.

Presented by the Crespo Foundation and Goethe-Institut Irland.
