Goethe V&A Residency
Residency
The Goethe-Institut London and the Victoria & Albert Museum are collaborating on a new long-term residency programme, the Goethe V&A Residency. German artist Helmut Völter has been selected to be the first Goethe V&A Resident artist.
During his time in London, Helmut Völter will continue his practice of researching the entanglements of fotographic images within the contexts of history, media, science and art, and of transforming this research into exhibitions and a book. Both the format of the book and the exhibition are not mere containers to convey information, but also stages to experiment with the aesthetic potential of the images. Fellow cultural practitioners and the general public will have a chance to engage with Helmut‘s work during the Goethe V&A residency in workshops, open studio sessions and talks.
