Residencies as a stage for cultural exchange
Residencies are highly coveted among artists. They allow a concentrated period of development away from familiar surroundings. Moreover, they provide the opportunity to gain new impressions and inspiration, and to build up a network. In interaction with local artists and curators, new ideas emerge and new projects can be developed and realised.
