Glen House, Glentworth St, LimerickGoogle Maps

This commercial property is located on Glentworth Street, which gets its name from Reverend William Cecil Pery, Bishop of Limerick, who was created Baron Glentworth of Mallow in 1790.
It served as the original offices for EVA as well as Murray O’Laoire Architects.
This site was one of twenty-six listed venues for the 22nd edition of EVA in 1998, curated by Paul M. O‘Reilly (b. 1934, USA/Ireland) and titled Circus ZZ.
The 1998 edition was the most expansive edition in EVA’s history in terms of number of venues and artists.
Here Daphne Wright (b. 1963, Ireland) exhibited her mixed-media installation Looking for the Home of the Sickness (1991–92).
This building was also one of nineteen listed venues for the 19th edition of EVA in 1994, curated by Jan Hoet (b. 1936, Belgium; d. 2014). This was the first year when international artists were invited to take part in the exhibition, selected by an adjudicator/curator.
That year Kathe Burkhart (b. 1958, USA) exhibited a mixed-media installation titled Bill 1978 (The Rack) (1992–93).
