Artist in Residence

The Artist in Residence program allows artists to pursue their artistic work outside of their own culture without having to finance their stay. Artists thus have an opportunity to enter into a lively exchange with colleagues from other cultures and to get to know the specificities of the host country. The location of each ‘residence’ gives the participants a common connection, regardless of when they had the chance to spend time at this place to focus on their artistic work. Numerous references in the pieces created on site are assimilated and processed in a different way.

HUNGARY

The gallery launched its Artist in Residence programme in Petömihályfa, Hungary, in 2010. The studios in Petömihályfa are located in the idyllic landscape of Western Hungary. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and all of its distractions a space was created for focusing on artistic work. The natural environment is largely governed by the rhythm of life at the residency and offers a possibility to focus on the essential. The Galerie Krinzingerʼs studios in Petömihályfa provide a setting for encounters between Hungarian and Austrian artists. The promotion and activation of exchange between international contemporary artists has the highest priority, but another goal is networking with the public interested in art.
