institution
kunstlerhaus buchsenhausen is an international centre for production,
research and discussion in the fields of visual and media arts. the
kunstlerhaus provides a forum that facilitates direct exchange between
artists, theorists, art critics and curators from the region and abroad.
the institution also promotes young, innovative talents and presents
their work. kunstlerhaus buchsenhausen is an institution affiliated with
the "tyrolean artists' association".


building
the building -the eastern wing of the buchsenhausen castle, built in the
middle of the 17th century and situated in the city of innsbruck, not
far from its centre - houses eleven studios and a project space. three
apartment studios are used by fellows of the international residence
programme for visual and media arts "buchsenhausen.air". eight studios
are available to artists based in tyrol. the künstlerhaus also has a
large project and presentation space equipped with multimedia
facilities. the space was designed by atelier van lieshout in the spring
of 2003.


residence programme
with its residence programme kunstlerhaus büchsenhausen actively
promotes an internationally relevant art production, research and
discussion in the region of tyrol. in the framework of the programme
every year 6 visual / media artists and 3 theorists / art critics
receive a fellowship and reside in innsbruck for a period of 3 months.
the fellows selected by an international jury find excellent working
conditions at the kunstlerhaus, while the city of innsbruck and its
surrounding area offers an interesting setting in terms of art, culture
and landscape. the residency at the kunstlerhaus buchsenhausen allows
fellows to work on the proposed project but also gives them the
possibility to experiment and to reconsider their current practice.

the work of other residents, to exchange plans and ideas and to also
carry out joint projects. usually, there are three fellows and eight
tyrol-based artists working at the kunstlerhaus at the same time.
