Kuenstlerhaeuser Worpswede

The Kuenstlerhaeuser Worpswede are one of the largest residencies in the
Federal Republic of Germany. Since 1971, over 400 artists from more than
30 countries have been invited as guests. Among former grant holders are
many noted artists such as Emmett Williams, Koeken Ergun, Yuri Leiderman,
Dan Perjovschi, Katharina Sieverding or Egill Saebjoernsson.

The Kuenstlerhaeuser Worpswede are supported by the Barkenhoff Stiftung,
Worpswede, and the private initiative Atelierhaus e. V., which
collectively make the studios available. The grant body is also supported
by the state of Lower Saxony through the award of a monthly grant of
€1,400.

Grant holders in the fields of the fine arts and sound art work in a total
of 10 studios between 40 and 115 m2 for a period of 3 – 6 months. In the
year 2007, a grant has been awarded to: Nandor Angstenberger, Diego
Castro, Dani Gal, Stella Geppert, Matthias Meyer, Skafte Kuhn,
Rindfleisch/Rapedius, Antje Schiffers, Ernst Stark, and Herma Auguste
Wittstock (fine arts); Boris Baltschun, Jakub Sarwas, and Florian
Wittenburg (sound).

Since October 2006, the Kuenstlerhaeuser have been undergoing a process of
repositioning, focussing on lasting artists’ support as well as artistic
and cultural exchange. Besides the regular presentation of works produced
in the studios both within and outside Worpswede, there are also, on a
discursive level, artists’ discussions, workshops and symposia on artists’
support, which take place at the Barkenhoff.

Collaboration with universities and art schools has become increasingly
important. A series of editions have been developed with the grant holders
of the Kuenstlerhaeuser in cooperation with the School of Art and Design,
Zurich, and shown in a mobile exhibition space with stations in Worpswede,
Bremen, Kassel and Zurich.

Temporary guest-residencies should build up a network of curators,
galerists and art critics. This year’s winner of the German AdKV Art
Critics Award, Ludwig Seyfahrt, for example, spent an intensive two weeks
on site engaging with the work of the grant holders.

The Kuenstlerhaeuser also maintain contact with former grant holders. A
typical example is this year’s exhibition “worpswunder” in the Kunstverein
Springhornhof, Neuenkirchen.

A broad spectrum of events make the Kuenstlerhaeuser Worpswede into a
dynamic site of cultural production, presentation, and active encounters
with contemporary art.
