Residency Programme

Artist and film scholar Pallavi Paul deepened her research on love and its embodied counterpart – the breath – as Artist in Residence at the Gropius Bau. She posed the challenge of how to generate tangible mappings of something ever-present but “invisible”.

The Gropius Bau's first Writer in Residence, K Allado-McDowell, focused on writings that challenge, re-consider, subvert, collaborate and mingle with learning algorithms. Allado-McDowell is considered an innovator in the collaborative use of AI.

As first Neighbour in Residence at the Gropius Bau, hn. lyonga engaged with the question of how neighbourly relations can exist in institutional spaces in the realm of his programme becoming neighbours.

A violinist, composer and artist, Ayumi Paul’s work is anchored in a practice of listening. Her art departs from the intersections of sound, composition, and perception. At the Gropius Bau, Paul presents her participatory singing sculpture, The Singing Project.

As Digital Artist in Residence, Ana Prvački is taking up a series of interventions that materialise the Gropius Bau’s overarching programmatic topics of hosting, natural structures and ecology.

SERAFINE1369 engages deeply with intimacy, movement and boundaries. Understanding dance as a radical, transformative practice, they create awareness of the space shared by performers and audiences.

For artist and theorist Zheng Bo past and future are the central parameters of his politically and scientifically informed artistic practice, in which he deals with socio-economic themes and the relationship between humans and nature.

Otobong Nkanga’s performances, sculptures, drawings and installations are characterised by her commitment to comprehensively explore economic and ecological processes.

Wu Tsang’s work explores various states of connectedness and ‘in-between’-ness within society and with regard to personal identity. Often this fluidity manifests itself as collaboration, or in the merging of disciplines, such as performance, moving image, sculpture, and installation.
