AIR InSILo

For this edition, AIR InSILo invites artists to take part in a residency curated by Agata Ciastoń in Hollabrunn, Austria. The residency will focus on working with place as a field of relations, encompassing matter and memory, body and landscape, and local and cosmic time.

The Artist-in-Residence Programme AIR InSILo is inviting curators to examine the achievements and experience of the current residency programme of AIR InSILo and develop their vision for a new future themed open call for artists.

The current and the previous year have forced everyone to take a fresh look at freedom of artistic expression and recognise that it is threatened not only in countries with authoritarian regimes but also in countries with competitive democratic elections. This open call, titled ‘Non-Utterance’, aims to capture this moment, analyse the atmosphere in the artistic environment, and explore censorship and self-censorship in art.

Based in Hollabrunn, Austria, AIR InSILo are offering three residencies: a short-term residency, 23-31 October 2021, for the artists and curators who live in the vicinity of accessible overland travel; and two long-term residencies, 1.5 months, November – December 2021 or January – February 2022, for international artists and curators. The call is thematically connected to the ideas of Leopold Kohr and sustainability.
