Since November 2023 the HALLENKUNST artists-in-residency program promotes various artistic production in the CAMMANN STUDIOS > and the streets of Chemnitz.

​

Graffiti‘s impact extends far beyond the realm of visual art. Its influence is readily discernible in a multitude of creative forms, including Pop Art, painting, photography, illustration, design, music, and fashion. This cross-pollination between graffiti and other artistic disciplines underscores its significance as a catalyst for broader cultural change. Notably, for over four decades, the subculture and its protagonists have been at the forefront of these transformations. This artistic evolution now culminates in graffiti‘s integration into the canon of contemporary art. No longer relegated to the margins of society, graffiti‘s potent visual language and its ability to capture the zeitgeist have earned it a rightful place within the art historical narrative. This is the curatorial base > of our artists-in-residence program, dedicated to any forms of art, discourse, mediation, sub-cultural research and further education in this context..

 

Via international cooperation with artists and galleries the HALLENKUNST artists-in-residence program strives for intercultural exchange and a lively, transnational dialogue, and acts as a player between the world of visual and contemporary art, graffiti- and street art, urban culture, creative, civic, and the education sector.

 

The residence, off-site actions and its massive-scale multi-disciplinary group exhibition in 2025 >, the HALLENKUNST is committed alongside the artists to promote a multiple approach that transcends borders and standards. 

 

The HALLENKUNST artist residencies headquarters are the CAMMANN STUDIOS > in Chemnitz, a meeting place between art and its amateurs. Presentations of projects are regularly organized as preview exhibits within public Events in and around the Cammann building´s showroom with performances, lectures or pop-up exhibitions.

​

Under criteria of the curatorial concept selected body of works created by the artists during these residencies will be linked and on display in full scale at HALLENKUNST 2025 >.
