Brno Artists in Residence
Since 2017, the residency programme has become one of the key constituents of the Brno House of Arts programme. The second floor of the Renaissance building of the House of Lords of Kunštát, located in the center of Brno, is adapted for the residential program. The building combines space for residence and the work of artists, theorists and curators in three studios. Part of the residency program is the G99 gallery, which focuses on contemporary visual art.
The aim of the Brno House of Arts international residency programme is to provide space for mutual exchange of ideas and opinions between the Czech and international art scenes and to expand the current role of the House of Arts as a comprehensive mediator of contemporary art.
Visual artists working in various fields, curators and researchers in the field of contemporary art, architects and designers are invited to participate in residencies. The residencies are considered to be a medium for the implementation of art projects and experiments, a format for art activities that do not necessarily lead to an exhibition in the classical sense, but to other ways of presentation, too. Research projects mapping the environment and bringing new impulses to it are welcome, and especially socially engaged projects stimulating further discussion.
