Košice Artist in Residence
Abel Korinsky (*1985) is a multimedia artist based in Berlin where together with his twin brother run Studio Korinsky. Through audio-visual installations and site-specific works, they are trying to provide a different experience demanding of all the senses.
Meet our residency artists Laura and Abel and find out what they are working on in the studios during their stay in Košice. Because at the moment we cannot prepare our classical format of Open Studios Night, we decided to open them up during the whole day so you can visit the artists in small groups.
Laura Leppert (*1993) is a visual artist, filmmaker and sculptor currently based in Berlin and Munich, Germany. During the residency at K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence, Laura plans to work on her video project Haunted House, that deals with intertwined human and animal, bacterial and microorganic sensoriums, and their potential for collective sensing and storytelling.
Exhibition Practice of Solitude combines the work of two environments and two authors in a mutual space. The first environment consists only of the memories of the Western Fjords of Iceland, where Lucia Gašparovičová spent one month during the winter this year. The second place represents Košice, where Lucia was creating together with partner and artist Ján Skaličan during two summer months at the residency programme K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence. Practice of Solitude is not an objective representation of reality.
Artist-in-Residence program (AIR) of the Schafhof – European Center for Art Upper Bavaria and K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence invite visual artists from Slovakia to take part in the two-months residency in Freising, Germany.
Along with the summer, our two newest residential artists – Lucia Gašparovičová and Ján Skaličan – arrived. As usual, during the evening you will be able to look into the residency studios of Jan and Lucia, get acquainted with their work, enjoy a glass of wine and evening with us!
