The second part of IN OUR BACKYARDS will focus on different forms of public encounters. International artists coming from the Leipzig residencies are invited to spend one week at Akademie Schloss Solitude. A mosaic of performances, installation works, film screenings, city interventions, talks and other possible encounters will be developed.
IN OUR BACKYARDS is the result of a cooperation between seven artistin-residence programs: Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart and the six programs of the United Residencies network in Leipzig. The participating artists were, or still are fellows of the various institutions: an interdisciplinary community in a Baroque castle on the outskirts of Stuttgart (Akademie Schloss Solitude), former factory buildings (LIA, One-Sided surroundings (BLUMEN, Fugitif). For several weeks or months they live and work in a ›semi-space‹: semi-public, semi-private.
on A.I.R.
4. to 14. Oktober 2012, WERKSCHAU Halle 12, Spinnerei, Leipzig
On A.I.R. features an exhibition dealing with the broader context of Artist-In-Residence programs. A.I.R. fellows of Akademie Schloss Solitude are visiting Leipzig for one week to exhibit their work together with fellows of United Residencies. Film screenings, performances and discussion panels accompany the show. The works refer to experiences from residencies attended, or deal with questions of community, languages and cultural codes; they look into migrations of all kinds, document the walls of the past while even figuring futurist imaginings.
