As part of our ongoing program for the QM&A Artist Collective we will be visiting the venue of the new Artist-in-Residency Programme AIR InSilo which is an artist-run independent initiative, organised by artist and curator Ksenia Yurkova (a QM&A Artist Collective alumna) and artist and curator Martin Breindl. It is located in a quiet rural area 50 kilometres north of the city of Vienna, in the town of Hollabrunn (Lower Austria). AIR InSilo collaborates with the international programme Artists at Risk and is aiming to host artists in critical life situations, as well as to invite and host artists who had lost their income or who suffer difficult life circumstances due to the crisis. The residency aims to focus its attention on female artists with children, on artists from countries where governments didn’t allocate sufficient support programs, and primarily on the ones who suffer persecution from the home country governments.

Ksenia Yurkova will give us insight into the main goals of the programme and will speak about the persecution of artists, mainly in Russia.

After visiting the space, we will go on a hike together with Ksenia Yurkova and Martin Breindl in order to explore the area.

Since the venue is outside Vienna, we will meet at the Vienna train station some time before to catch the train there together. More information will be shared some days before the event.
