Kunst Asyl - Art Residence

The basic idea is to make a “Culture-Integration-Dialogue” with different artists of the lands out of Europe and inside Europe.

We want to activate this little town of Quedlinburg in art. This town have now only a very long history of middleaged kings residences and old architecture. Many people are workless or were gone after opening the German-German borderline. In actual time only commercial interests, tourism, and the typical capitalismus effects of to have no money and a consciousness only about money, work and television rules the minds of the people.

This is a humanistic project against: Consumerism, stereotypes and separation of people and values.
This project wants to connect well-minded-persons together.

This project wants to bring back the values of humanism in our Post-Modernism time.

The resident artist have the possibility to research the visiting region of middle-east Germany in context of the German east-west-conflict and the contemporary situation now.

The resident artist have to work about:
- global “Integration”, human universal values
- local “After the Wall against the Border”, research about the local history

This art residence is a first step to bring together different artists for later concerted work in this subject in a bigger “Culture-Integration-Project” with (in actual time now) partners in Russia and Armenia (Russian and armenian are spoken at the residency). If another person wants to join you during your stay, please contact the residency opperator beforehand.

Our residence offers artists the opportunity to work as an artist in residence in the UNESCO World Heritage City of Quedlinburg, Land Saxony-Anhalt, in Germany, to realise artworks or projects.
We have two ready-to-move-in accommodations with integrated kitchen, toilet and shower for one person. One studio is available, with 20 square metres of space and 3 metres high. The cost of accommodation is 220 euros per week.
