Inis TurbART:Floating Colours - Hanneke and Stefan Frenkel - Clifden Arts Festival 2024

Hanneke and Stefan Frenkel have moved their workshop from the island to the Beach Road for the festival. The Frenkels have spent the last 30 summers living on Inis Turbot where they and their family have immersed themselves in island living, reliant on tides, weather, the bounty of the sea and their own ingenuity. Arising from this sense of adventure and affinity with nature Hanneke’s creativity exploded during the ‘lock-down’ when she started collecting discarded and lost fishing ropes that ended up on their beaches and Hanneke transforming them into ‘Seacarpets’. This led to the development of the ‘Seaseat’ for the Irish Pavilion ‘In search of Hy-Brasyl’ at the Venice Biennale Architettura 2023, followed by the Kunst RAI Amsterdam in March 2024.

Opening Friday, September 20th at 5 pm.

2 pm – 5.30 pm daily during the Clifden Arts Festival 2024

Where: The Beach Road Shed, Beach Road, H71 W089
