The Lovely Weather Donegal Residencies was a Leonardo/Olats art-and-climate project that took place in Donegal, Ireland, in 2010. In this paper, the curator reflects on the art-science-local communities approach taken as a basis for the residencies and the results of the process, which caused her in the end to reconsider the universal versus the specific context for creation.

The World-Wide-Walks explore natural/cultural/virtual identities: mixed realities that encompass walking in physical environments and virtually surfing the Web. The first of these projects, The Walk Series , was initiated by Peter d'Agostino in 1973 as video documentation/performances. World-Wide-Walks / between earth & sky / Dun na nGall is a video/web sculptural installation informed by environmental arts and sciences and local knowledge. It is one of the five Lovely Weather: Art and Climate Change public art projects commissioned by Regional Cultural Centre/Donegal County Council Public Art Office in partnership with Leonardo/Olats: www.peterdagostino.net/WorldWideWalks/Donegal .

Carbon Footprint is one of the Lovely Weather Donegal Residencies projects initiated by Leonardo/Olats and the Regional Cultural Centre of Donegal. It is a process-based work using Inishowen sheep wool and hand spinning as the primary metaphors to articulate the intrinsic relationship between climate change and economics. This project works to rejuvenate the use of local wool and low-tech/slow-tech making by returning the site of production to the individual. This frames the material and making as political acts, de-coupling the link between green house gas emissions and gross domestic product.

Conditions of crisis can be fertile soil for social transformation. The Lovely Weather project in Donegal, northwest Ireland, brought artists into residence in localities where changing socio-economic and awareness of shifting environmental conditions opened up space for different cooperative relations. Donegal, bounded by the Atlantic, sitting between the north and south of Ireland, is an ambiguous in-between region with strong yet undervalued traditions relating to the sea and land. Drawing from a keynote presentation, this paper considers how residency models can dynamically connect poetics of place with broader environmental influences.

For our Lovely Weather Residency project in County Donegal, the League of Imaginary Scientists teamed up with NASA's Athena Science Team and County Donegal to pair a location on Mars with an island in Ireland. We then probed the connections between these newly associated points on Mars and Earth in an art project meshing climate study, adventure and storytelling.

As part of the Lovely Weather project, artist and environmental scientist Antony Lyons undertook a rural science and art residency project examining the relationships between the locality of the River Finn Valley, County Donegal, Ireland and the processes of climate change. The local countryside is, in many ways, enmeshed in the wider global systems. At the core of the project was the quest for new avenues of communication and dialogue—through revealing unseen and metaphorical connections—enabling the local community and others to engage with the global issues, and the science, in a meaningful way. A research-based ‘deep-mapping’ approach was used. Art installations were developed, and there now exists a platform for some locally grounded sustainable development initiatives to emerge.

Marbh Crhios (Dead Zone) is a multimedia artwork, part of the Lovely Weather Donegal Residencies Project, that reflects upon climate change in the context of a local community in Killybegs in County Donegal, Ireland. The work was based on scientific data about contested marine ‘dead zones’ that the authors represented with algorithmically generated music, sonifications and visualizations in a live performance in Mooney's Boatyard in Killybegs, involving three local ensembles.
