Exhibition ‘After Nature . Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize 24’
Together with C/O Berlin, the Crespo Foundation has launched the ‘After Nature . Ulrike Crespo Photography Prize’. Since 2024, the prize has been awarded annually to two international artists who use photography and image-based media to respond to the changing ecology of the present and explore new concepts of nature and art.
With Laura Huertas Millán (*1983, Colombia) and Sarker Protick (*1986, Bangladesh), the Crespo Foundation is presenting the 2024 prizewinners, whose artistic works look at a nature whose condition is inextricably interwoven with the social and political manifestations of our lifestyles.

Exhibition ‘The Glenkeen Variations: ArtNature/NatureArt’
Glenkeen Garden is a landscape park on Roaringwater Bay in West Cork, Ireland, designed by Ulrike Crespo. Since 2021, it has been the site of an artist in residence programme, the results of which will be shown for the first time in the exhibition 'The Glenkeen Variations: ArtNature/NatureArt’.
‘The Glenkeen Variations: ArtNature/NatureArt' marked a premiere in two respects: it was the first exhibition of the first phase of the Glenkeen Garden Residencies and the first exhibition in the open space of the new Crespo Haus in Frankfurt.
