KEX Residency
The KEX Residency is conceived as a platform for experimenting with alternative presentation and communication formats and new modes of networking and collaboration. Since 2012, the Kunsthalle Exnergasse (KEX) awards a grant for an artist / a research residency respectively for one to three months.
KEX has been a cooperation partner of the Zukunftshof project since 2020, where it initiates and realises interdisciplinary, thematic artist-in-residence projects. The Zukunftshof is located on the edge of Vienna, between fields, single-family housing estates, and in the middle of a projected urban expansion area.
The KEX Residency is open to artists and researchers who work at the intersection of art/urbanism/ecology with a thematic focus and critical examination of the topics of urban agriculture and food of the future, urban expansion, and circular economy and ecology. Everyday life on the urban fringe meets science meets art.
The selection of the residents takes place in cooperation with international institutions and groups from the broader field of innovative artistic practice and research.
