Big congratulations to artist Barbara Diener on being our latest member to be selected to take up residency on Spike Island! In Summer 2025, Barbara will prepare a new body of work which responds to Spike Island’s rich heritage and characteristic landscape. Using composite photography, her work will explore the relationship between Spike Island’s man-made stuctures and natural environment, paying attention to the direct interchange that takes place when nature begins to reclaim the built environment over time. We can’t wait to see the results of Barbara’s residency exhibited in The Lord Mayor’s Pavilion in October!
This residency and exhibition are delivered in partnership with Spike Island Cork and Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh with support the Arts Council of Ireland.
