“It was such a privilege to spend the last two weeks in Cork thanks to Glucksman's Nicholas Fox Weber Curatorial Residency programme. Not only I have met local art practitioners and visited many artists at their studios, but I was also able to meet many of the program directors of local art institutions and pioneer names for the Cork art scene such as the artist Maud Cotter. It was wonderful to share our collective's work and vision with the local scene and university students and hear their critics and suggestions on other possibilities for collective curatorial experiments and the future of collaborative practices.”

We will be issuing a call for September 2020 applications at the end of this year. Please sign up to our newsletter to be kept up to date with news and opportunities from the Glucksman.
