in ατhεns - Austrian Artist Residency
Artist Talk & Finissage with
EMANUEL EHGARTNER

In context of our show "in ατhεns - Austrian Artist Residency", we are happy that both our resident artists Emanuel Ehgartner and Borjana Ventzislavova will share their experiences of their stay in athens and will talk about their work!

In his artistic practice, Emanuel Ehgartner (Vienna) draws upon the world of forms present in the urban space, inspired by his wanderings and findings through the city and its outskirts. Using strategies such as reproduction, reclamation and rearrangement, Ehgartner sets found and redefined objects into new and unexpected contexts.

in ατhεns – Austrian Artist Residency offers four selected, Austrian-based, visual artists for the first time the opportunity to live and work in Athens during Spring/Summer 2017 as part of a funded residency program. The projects realized take conditions specific to the city as a starting point for artistic research, using various techniques and media to ask the question: what does it mean—or what could it mean—to live and work in ατhεns?
