Art in Golf Triennial
Art in Golf is a Triennial program that changes the traditional understanding of an art or golf landscape while developing a completely new concept for the enjoyment of art: a golf course performing as an enormous canvas.
This Triennial allows for an exploration of new horizons in specialized art concepts designed to celebrate contemporary art and to reach the public. The spacious landscapes of the Great Tropical Park of Dorado Beach Resort, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, serve as the grounds for the Foundation’s unique INSTALLATIONS _IN open-spaces, a sculpture trail which displays contemporary monumental format ephemeral and temporary art installations. Bringing art into the four golf courses covering over 200 acres is a powerful and unique way to enhance the landscape while infusing it with a profound respect for nature, art and the golf lifestyle.
Art in Golf Triennial 2024 Curator
Ariane Hackstein
The theme “Patterns in Nature” for the 5th Art in Golf Triennial is a tribute to the nature at the Dorado Beach Resort. When I visited Dorado Beach Resort 2022 for the first time, I was immediately impressed by the diverse nature and the concept of the resort.
In the creative act, artists and nature are very closely connected. Our artists of the interpret “Patterns in Nature” in very different ways by focusing on the perception of light, growth or transcendence.
Arte Fits Foundation and I have selected a total of eight international artists who have created site specific art installations. Eight artists from seven nations, they come from South and Central America, Europe and Asia. So their artistic styles and cultural backgrounds are very different. Nevertheless Art is a universal language, that connects artists and all viewers independently of their background.
The Artists invited are invited to create site-specific Land Art installations that withstand wind and weather and fit organically into the landscape. For the foreign artists, it was a special challenge to create works for a place that they had not previously been able to experience with their own eyes.
Special Exhibition
Danuta Karsten
A Polish artist educated in Gdansk and Düsseldorf, Danuta Karsten is known for her large-scale installations using simple materials like light, air, and water.
Fascinated by Puerto Rico’s algae and its bioluminescence, she collaborated with scientists to recreate the glow in a UV-resistant, eco-friendly turquoise-blue color inspired by the natural glow of the algae. Initially using PET bottles with glowing granules to mimic the microscopic flagellates, she later switched to recycled PU film to reduce plastic use. Her work, now resembling natural flagellates, can be illuminated with UV flashlights, offering a poetic glimpse into nature’s hidden wonders.
