n ατhεns - Austrian Artist Residency
Artist Talk 
BORJANA VENTZISLAVOVA

In context of our show "in ατhεns - Austrian Artist Residency", we are happy that both our resident artists Emanuel Ehgartner and Borjana Ventzislavova will share their experiences of their stay in athens and will talk about their work!

Borjana Ventzislavova (Vienna/Sofia) works in the areas of photography, video, installations and new media. Her interest in the visual and its presentation have led her to explore themes such as mobility, marginalization and social cooperation—whereby she brings the all too often fine lines between presence and absence, power and powerlessness, authority and empowerment to the forefront of discussion.

in ατhεns – Austrian Artist Residency offers four selected, Austrian-based, visual artists for the first time the opportunity to live and work in Athens during Spring/Summer 2017 as part of a funded residency program. The projects realized take conditions specific to the city as a starting point for artistic research, using various techniques and media to ask the question: what does it mean—or what could it mean—to live and work in ατhεns?
