Exhibitions
Els Dietvorst, Adrift, 16 March to 11 May 2024
In this iteration of ADRIFT, Dietvorst continues to explore and reflect through her work the limits of human existence – how we relate to nature and how we relate to one another, as the quality of such relationships will determine the type of possibilities we can all create for our future. The exhibition includes drawings, sculptures, installations, and films that the curators selected specifically in response to the space at Uillinn.

Studio 2: Cork County Council / Uillinn Artist Residency Patsy Tyrrell, 2 April to 4 May 2024
Studio open Monday and Saturday
Patsy Tyrrell is a visual artist based in Beara and a recent graduate of Sculpture and Expanded Practice from NCAD. Her practice is rooted in the importance of the invisible links that bind us together, and to the landscape, in softness and small encounters. In the monumental nature of softness, stillness, and small moments of support. Her practice currently explores how these moments, of relation to each other and to our landscape, can change our perception of the space around us. For this residency in Uillinn Patsy will be building a body of work that investigates perception of place and landscape through embodied drawing and performance. She will develop drawings, reflections, and moments of performance, while inviting others to engage in this process with her through drawing and dialogue.

UCC and Bollinger Family Space: Dance Artist in Residence, West Cork 2021 Ongoing: Luke Murphy.
Since 2015, the Dance Artist in Residence Programme at Uillinn has enabled opportunities for the people of West Cork to have access to, and engagement with contemporary dance practice of excellence. ‘As an artist with a deeply rooted connection to both Cork city and county it has been a consistent part of my practice to consider the needs and habits of local audiences. Working in a form based in abstraction, without a long history nationally, I believe that working to build audiences and increase exposure to contemporary dance, beyond the metropolitan centre and the core national festival programmes throughout the country, is crucial to the development of vibrant ecology for dance to develop and flourish nationally.’
