Brno Artists in Residence

Since 2017 the residency programme has become one of the key constituents of the Brno House of Arts concept. Presentations, debates, performances, etc.

International residency programme has become a part of the Brno House of Arts concept; its objective is to create space for mutual exchange of ideas and opinions between the Czech and international art scene. The third floor of the House of the Lords of Kunštát, refurbished so that to accommodate the residency programme, offers facilities for the stay and work of artists in three studios. General Information

The Brno House of Arts international residency programme has been launched with the objective to develop opportunities for an exchange of ideas and opinions between the Czech and international arts scenes, and for further expanding the current position of the Brno House of Arts as a complex intermediator of contemporary art towards an active artistic environment. Visual artists in various disciplines, whose works are based on an idea not depending on form, curators and researchers in the field of contemporary art, architects and designers are invited to take part in the residencies. The residency is conceived as a medium for the realisation of artistic projects and experiments, as a format for artistic activities that need not necessarily lead to an exhibition in the traditional sense of the word, but also to other means of presentation. Research projects mapping the environment and introducing new stimuli, and especially socially engaged projects that induce further discussion, are most welcome. The presentations of works and of the residents’ creative process take the format of open studios. Residents will be incorporated within the Brno House of Arts regular programme events. are organised on an individual basis. A closer interconnection of the residency programmes is planned with the G99 gallery as a space for the presentation of selected residents’ works in form of exhibitions. Contacts within our broader collaboration scheme include other arts institutions, schools, galleries and museums, independent curators and art theorists. Very first artists in residence will be staying and working at the Brno House of Arts upon invitation by the Meeting Brno Festival. The idea of mobility and mutual exchange is strongly encouraged. Residencies are organised by the Brno House of Arts in collaboration with the City of Brno. The facilities for the residencies on the third floor of the House of the Lords of Kunštát are now under reconstruction. The residency programme is now in its preparation phase. It will be launched at the beginning of 2017. Selection of residents

Artists are invited for a residency on the basis of a recommendation from partner institutions that should be in agreement with the standpoint of a committee appointed by the Brno House of Arts for the selection procedure.

Meet Sára Babic Paldanová Sára Babic Paldanová, who joined the Brno Artists in Residence programme this summer, combining a month of fieldwork in Slovakia with a residency stay in Brno. Her residency was connected to the exhibition project “.. a žiadna iná!” at the House of Arts Dům umění města Brna and developed in collaboration with Banská St a nica Contemporary BANSKA ST A NICA CONTEMPORARY.

During her residency, she worked on Beobachter. As part of the project, she visited and sketched cultural sites and centres across Slovakia, creating a personal and subjective record of them through her drawings.

In 2026, she completed her master’s degree in the Illustration and Graphic Arts Studio at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (UMPRUM). Her work focuses on drawing, reportage drawing, illustration, author’s books, silent books, and graphic arts. During an internship at the Haute école des arts du Rhin (HEAR) in Strasbourg, she began to focus more intensively on author’s books and visual storytelling without text. In 2026, she won the Golden Ribbon for her illustrations in the book Me, Tran, and Everything Else (KHER).

Interdisciplinary artist , Brest born, lives and works in Vienna. Her artistic work and practice focus on the intersection of (media- and bio-) technology, body-politics, politics of images, and feminist and environmental studies. From her point of view, technology is not only a tool but also represents hybridity politics of extensions and entering questions of information, identities, publicity and politics.

These issues concern globalization, processes of interaction with society and advanced media technologies and do affect and influence our fragmented perception of reality and materiality. And this is the area, where her aesthetical concerns are addressing a challenge of ethics.

Kristina’s residency is part of this year’s thematic program and exhibition, ShadowFrame, at G99 Gallery.

is a multi-disciplinary artist, curator, and cultural manager based in Cluj, Romania. In his video works, installations, and objects he digs into the complex and intertwined nature of our online and offline lives, drawing on influences from history of science, technology, video games, and Internet culture. He works with sometimes obscure information, geeky factoids, and situated histories, blending storytelling with conceptual art techniques, to craft fictions and commentaries on current political issues.

He is part of multiple curatorial collectives, and organizes projects that revolve around artistic research and geopolitical site-specificity, in formats such as residencies, research & production, and interdisciplinary exhibition events.

Flavio’s residency is part of this year’s thematic program and exhibition, ShadowFrame, at G99 gallery.

.finn je mediální umělec, výzkumník a technolog pocházející z Waterfordu v Irsku. Jeho umělecká praxe zkoumá svébytnou povahu vztahů mezi člověkem a strojem, přičemž vychází z dějin výpočetní techniky a pracuje s programováním, umělým životem, vývojem her či elektronikou. Jeho současný výzkum se zaměřuje na robotiku, umělou inteligenci a jejich život, se zvláštním důrazem na emergentní chování jako materiál pro interakci. Tato témata rozvíjí prostřednictvím experimentování, hackování a kritické reflexe, přičemž vytváří díla, která propojují výpočetní procesy, tělesnost a zkoumání vztahů mezi člověkem a strojem.

Výstava The Garden představuje instalace Caileana Finna, rezidenta VKB a BAiR v roce 2025. Ve dvou projektech – kinetických techno-objektech, konfrontuje typicky antropocentrickou perspektivu s ekologickým, relačním a performativním pohledem na další možnosti života. Vytváří tak “zahradu” jako prostor komunikace a soužití technologie a člověka, ale rovněž dalších druhů inteligentních bytostí.

Cailean Finn is a media artist, researcher, and technologist from Waterford, Ireland. His practice investigates the idiosyncratic nature of human–machine relationships, drawing from computational histories and engaging with technologies and practices such as creative coding, artificial intelligence/life, game development, and electronics. His current research explores robotics, artificial intelligence, and their life, with a particular focus on emergent behaviour as a material for interaction. He approaches these themes through experimentation, hacking, and critical reflection, creating works that blend computation, embodiment, and inquiry into human–machine relations.

The exhibition The Garden presents installations by Cailean Finn, a resident of VKB and BAiR in 2025. In two projects – kinetic techno-objects, he confronts a typically anthropocentric perspective with an ecological, relational and performative view of other possibilities of life. He thus creates a garden; as a space of communication and coexistence of technology and humans, but als

Mamorost. Kde chybí matka, roste les.🌿

22. 5. proběhla v rámci výstavy Plevel–Človíček intervence skupiny Mothers Artlovers (Hana Magdoňová, Hana Němečková, Kateřina Olivová, Karin Písaříková a Věra Vtípilová).

Umělkyně hledaly vlastní vztah k výstavě a skrze motiv dítěte–plevele i postavy Otesánka zkoumaly absentující postavu matky. Během plenéru v lese ji performativně ztělesnily jako ženu–rostlinu — mocnou přírodní entitu s tvůrčí silou. Umělkyně si pokrývaly obličej jílem, připoutávaly si k tělu větve a rozšiřovaly svou tělesnost o nové končetiny.

Ve veřejném výstupu následně hledaly způsoby, jak tuto zkušenost přenést i na návštěvnictvo, a vznikla tak performance–workshop s názvem Mamorost. Kde chybí matka, roste les.

Mamorost. Kde chybí matka, roste les.🌿

On May 22, an intervention by the Mothers Artlovers group (Hana Magdoňová, Hana Němečková, Kateřina Olivová, Karin Písaříková and Věra Vtípilová) took place within the exhibition Plevel–Človíček.

The artists explored their relationship to the exhibition and, through the motif of the “weed-child” and the figure of Otesánek, searched for the absent figure of the mother. During an open-air gathering in the forest, they performatively embodied her as a woman–plant hybrid — a powerful natural entity with creative force. The artists covered their faces with clay, attached branches to their bodies, and expanded their physicality with new limbs.

In the public presentation that followed, they searched for ways to transfer this experience to visitors, resulting in the performance workshop Mamorost. Kde chybí matka, roste les.

Lucie Lienerová strávila v loňském roce dva měsíce v , kde mimo jiné pracovala na výstavě PLEVEL – ČLOVÍČEK, kterou můžete navštívit ještě do 24. 5. v G99 v Domě pánů z Kunštátu.
Srdečně zveme také na workshop s , během kterého budete mít možnost zažít výstavu jinak a stát se na chvíli její aktivní součástí.

Lištica (Lucie Lienerová) je absolventkou Ateliéru malířství 3 na brněnské FaVU. Ve své tvorbě se zaměřuje na figurativní malbu, kterou vytváří především médii tradičně spojovanými s kresbou, jako je pastelka, pastel a voskovka. Své současné výstavy koncipuje jako místa, ve kterých není galerijní prostor pouze pozadím vystavené malby, ale kde funguje synergie malířských děl a specifického prostoru galerie, do nějž divák vstupuje a který na něj působí jako celek.

Lucie Lienerová spent two months at BAiR last year, where she worked, among other things, on the exhibition PLEVEL – ČLOVÍČEK, which you can still visit until May 24 at G99 in Dům pánů z Kunštátu.
We would also like to warmly invite you to a workshop with , during which you will have the opportunity to experience the exhibition in a different way and become an active part of it for a moment.

Lištica (Lucie Lienerová) is a graduate of the Painting Department 3 at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Brno. Her work focuses on figurative painting, which she creates primarily using media traditionally associated with drawing, such as crayons, pastels, and wax crayons.
She conceives her current exhibitions as places where the gallery space is not just a backdrop for the exhibited paintings, but as synergical spaces for the interaction of paintings and the specific space of the gallery, which the spectator enters and which affects them as a whole.

Výstava se stává třetím dějstvím malířské tvorby autorky , v níž na pozadí posthumanistických východisek rozvíjí narativy transformace lidské a rostlinné identity. Ocitáme se uprostřed ilustrací k nenapsané knize, které sugestivně vybízejí k pátrání po dialogu s rodícím se novým potomkem, bytostí, jejíž místo mezi florálním a antropomorfním původem zůstává nejednoznačné, jestli vůbec nějaké má.

LIŠTICA: WEED-KIDDIE

The exhibition becomes the third act in the artist’s painterly practice, in which, against a backdrop of posthumanist premises, she develops narratives of transformation between human and plant identities. We find ourselves amid illustrations for an unwritten book, evocatively inviting us to search for a dialogue with a newly emerging offspring — a being whose place between floral and anthropomorphic origins remains ambiguous, if it even exists at all.

.elpelele (Deán Funes, Córdoba, Argentina, 1993) is an artist/character, a phantasmagorical entity that transcends dimensions. Its particular universe is developed and displayed on various materials and platforms, without disciplinary limitations, connecting online and offline life. Performance, sound, poetry and video are some of the spaces of projection through which this artist moves around, not only to explore physical impulses, but also to release the philosophical order that acts as the basis of its corpus of narratives.

Its project has been active since 2014. It lives and works in Buenos Aires.

S radostí oznamujeme, že na základě mezinárodní otevřené výzvy s tématem ‘ShadowFrame’ byli pro dvouměsíční rezidenční pobyt v centru BAiR v roce 2026 vybráni: Anna Hawkins (CAN), jiawen uffline (GER) a Flaviu Rogojan (ROM).

Na základě speciálního pozvání galerie G99 tuto trojici dále doplní Kristina Cyan (AT), jež se zúčastní rezidenčního pobytu za stejných podmínek.

Účastníky vybrala komise ve složení Jan Langer (koordinátor BAiR), Šimon Kadlčák (kurátor BAiR), Barbora Trnková (kurátorka G99), Sara Märc (výzkumnice a kurátor, externí člen) a Tomáš Javůrek (umělec, externí člen).

Nad rámec vyhlášení výsledků by komise speciálně chtěla zdůraznit nezvykle vysokou kvalitu přihlášených portfolií a projektů v letošním roce. Z celkového počtu 112 přihlášek by si podporu zasloužilo mnohonásobně víc, než pouzí čtyři tvůrci a tvůrkyně. Tým BAiR se proto do budoucna zavazuje zvažovat postupy, jimiž by mohl učinit svoji podporu globální umělecké scéně dostupnější.

Dvouměsíční rezidenční pobyty se uskuteční v termínech 1. 3.–30. 4. 2026 a 15. 5.–15. 7. 2026.
