On the verge of the last year, we were happy to launch a new project in cooperation with DobraVaga Gallery and Ramallah Municipality under the name HYDRA PACE. 

The DobraVaga Gallery, Ramallah Municipality / Mamarat AIR program and KAIR Košice Artist in Residence invite visual or interdisciplinary artists, working and living in Slovenia, Palestine or Slovakia, to take part in a two-month residency in selected cities.

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.

Lucia Gašparovičová is a visual artist originally from Žilina and currently based in Bratislava.

Ján Skaličan (1989, Bratislava, SK) is a Slovak visual artist who works mainly within the field of photography and overlaps into thinking about his possibilities at present. His work is a kind of testimony, an attempt to articulate, express the thoughts based on thinking about a particular place and its past in an effort to restore the world’s experience, to the non-transferability of materiality and its memory.

Within the K.A.I.R. residency, Anna Manankina has decided to focus on the mental aspects of the book Three Ecologies by Felix Guattari. He emphasizes the concept of ecology as a tool for analysis and pragmatic suggestion for the future. Her exhibition we will open soon in Šopa Gallery!
