Košice Artist in Residence
The sixteenth evening of open studios is moving once again from our studios to your living room. Tijana Radenković from Serbia and Jagoda Dobecka from Wroclaw, Poland, travelled to Košice even in these times to start their residency and will introduce themselves to you on March 25 at 6 pm via live broadcast on our Facebook. We look forward to another online meeting!
The concept of the exhibition seeks to outline the attributes of the stories of the transformation of both countries after the collapse of the Soviet Union, with a focus on their economic, political, cultural, and ethical consequences. The project, indeed, does not seek to solve current problems or offer “definite” answers – it aims to redraw the complex aspects of the post-transformation situations of both countries, which have been marked by rising authoritarian and anti-democratic tendencies in recent years.
Jagoda Dobecka (1991) is a Polish visual artist based in Wrocław who uses traditional media, such as painting, sculpture, video to talk about current political and social issues. In 2016 she graduated from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław at the Painting Faculty.
Artist in residence project open to 2 individual artists or artistic duos in Košice.
Out of the 30 submissions received in response to the international open call, the international jury, composed of representatives of the partners of the international Hydra PACE – Platform for Artistic Collaboration and Exchange programme, has selected six artists from Slovakia, Palestine and Slovenia to take part in international residencies in the above-mentioned countries. The project is supported by the Anna Lindh Foundation.
