........... Institution Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen is an international centre for production, research and discussion in the fields of visual and media arts. The Kunstlerhaus provides a plattform that facilitates the development and production of artistic and theoretical projects in a critical environment.

Programme
With its International Fellowship Programme For Visual And Media Arts
"buchsenhausen.air", Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen actively promotes an
internationally pertinent art production, research and discussion in the
region of Tyrol. In the framework of the programme, every year 4 visual
/ media artists and 2 theorists / art critics receive a fellowship and
reside in Innsbruck for a period of 5 months. The fellows selected by
expert jurors find excellent working conditions in Buchsenhausen, while
the City of Innsbruck and its surrounding area offer an interesting
setting in terms of art, culture and landscape. The grant and the
residency allow fellows to work on the proposed project but also give
them the chance to experiment and to reconsider their current practice.
Furthermore, they have the opportunity to directly familiarise
themselves with the work of other fellows and professionals from the
region and abroad, to exchange plans and ideas and to also carry out
joint projects. Usually there are 3 fellows (2 artists and 1
theorist/art crtitic) and 6 Tyrol-based artists working in Buchsenhausen
at the same time.
