Since 1971, over 400 artists from more than 30 countries have been invited as guests.

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 years 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 years 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. sursa:res artis -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" skype: us.vladimir http://www.oberliht.org.md . . . . . . . . . . . http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova _______________________________________________ oberlist mailing list [email protected] http://idash.org/mailman/listinfo/oberlist
