The international residency program is process-oriented: it focuses on time, space and encounter. It seeks to inspire open-ended interdisciplinary dynamics, exchange and dialogue, participation and reflection.
Artist in Residence-Program
In 2022, the artists’ residence SCHIESSLHAUS AiR announces three two-month residencies: one residency in early summer (A: May 7 – July 2, 2022), one residency in summer (C: July 9 – September 3, 2022 /CZECH-BAVARIAN AiR-PROGRAM) and one residency in autumn (B: September 13 – November 5, 2022).
For each residency 2-3 artists will be invited to live and work at the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR in Kollnburg for a period of two months. The residency program is open for visual artists of all disciplines, as well as for other creative fields such as film, theater, literature, architecture, sound, design, and music. We especially encourage applications that seek to pursue interdisciplinary approaches at the interfaces of art, science/theory, media and technology. Applications are open to individuals and/or collectives from Germany and abroad.
During their residency, the guest artists are provided with living, working, and exhibition spaces. Resident artists receive a monthly grant/artists’ fee of 1.200 Euros (including costs of materials). In addition, travel expenses will be covered. Within the framework of the annual exhibition, additional costs of travel and material can be reimbursed. The participation in the AiR program requires the resident artists to contribute to three events of the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR public program and to regularly give insight into the artistic work and life in the artists’ residence.
A jury decides on the awarding of the residency grants. Criteria are the quality of the previous artistic work, the letter of motivation (max. 1 DIN-A4 page) and an interdisciplinary occupancy of the artists’ residence.
Exhibitions and Events
The public program of SCHIESSLHAUS AiR offers the guest artists a high-publicity platform to present their artistic work. During their two-month residency, the guest artists participate in three events of the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR public program: the Jour Fixe, the Open Studios or the Kollnburg Art Sunday and the Annual Exhibition that is planned for November.
Within the framework of various events, the interested public regularly has the opportunity to gain insights into the artistic work and life in the artists’ residence, and to enter into dialogue with the artists in residence. In addition, the residence occasionally opens its doors for guided tours, summer festivals and other events, for example on the occasion of the “Open Studios” of the District of Lower Bavaria (Sun, October 16, 2022) or the nationwide “Open Monument Day” (Sun, September 11, 2022).

JOUR FIXE
Public lecture series with workshop
The opening event of each residency period is the “Jour-Fixe” – a welcome and get-to-know meeting between all project participants, the guest artists and the host community. The Jour Fixe is at the same time a networking event to bring the resident artists into contact with experts of various fields and with the local art and culture scene.
The SCHIESSLHAUS AiR program especially encourages interdisciplinary approaches at the interfaces of art, science/theory, media, and technology. At the beginning of each residency period, experts from a field other than the visual arts, for example from the humanities, social and natural sciences, politics or the (creative) economy, are invited to a public lecture followed by a workshop at the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR in Kollnburg.
The expert lecture is preceded by short introductions of the resident artists, during which the artists present themselves and their artistic work to the local public. Following the public lecture series, a workshop with the expert takes place for the resident artists of SCHIESSLHAUS AiR. The workshop is a closed event.
The changing thematic focuses of the lecture series are related to the annual theme of the AiR program. The aim of the Jour Fixe is the contact, the encounter and the interdisciplinary exchange between guest artists, experts, local art and culture professionals and the interested public.
KOLLNBURGER-KUNSTSONNTAG
Informal project presentations
After the first month of each residency period there is a fixed date: the “Kollnburger-Kunstsonntag” (Kollnburg Art Sunday). On this day, the guest artists present to the local community and the interested public what they are working on during their stay at the SCHIESSLHAUS AiR. These project presentations are of a more informal nature, for example studio visits, art talks, lectures, performances or interventions – this depends on the artistic projects of the resident artists. During the residency in autumn, the “Kollnburger-Kunstsonntag” will be replaced by the “Open Studios” of the District of Lower Bavaria (Sun, October 16, 2022).
ANNUAL EXHIBITION
November 4–20, 2022
The annual exhibition of SCHIESSLHAUS AiR is a curated show with the works of all resident artists of the residency year 2022. All guest artists jointly present the artworks that they have developed or realized during their stay at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR to the professional and general public. The annual exhibition is dedicated to the thematic focus of the residency year 2022 and will be accompanied by a public program with guided tours, lectures, panel discussions and artist talks.
Education and Participation
“Educational cooperation programs between schools and artists promote aesthetic education and contribute to a lively artistic development with the aim of deepening the quality of artistic education in schools. Through the collaboration, pupils and teachers learn about different ways of thinking and working and to look at these from different perspectives. New horizons open up for the pupils and the additional educational program results in the opportunity to gain unique experiences.”
Britta Wahlers, media artist and art educator
Art and culture are among the indispensable components of our social coexistence and make an important contribution to the personality development of children and young people. An important part of the Education and Participation Program of SCHIESSLHAUS AiR are cooperation programs with local schools.
Within the framework of cooperation projects with regional educational institutions (elementary and secondary schools), selected artists are invited to conduct art educational and artistic workshops with pupils and students independently of the residency program. In addition, SCHIESSLHAUS AiR offers artistic programs for local vacation programs.
Through an age-appropriate program, primary and secondary school children can actively and creatively engage with contemporary art and culture. During the art educational workshops, which take place either at the artists’ residence or at the schools, they get to know different areas, themes and techniques of the Fine Arts. The children and young people get the opportunity to experiment with different techniques and materials (depending on the chosen means of expression), to test their artistic and craft skills and to create their own works of art together with the artists. The artworks are presented at the end of the workshops in the scope of a joint exhibition at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR.

WOODEN FANTASY CREATURES
ART PROJECT
“Künstler in der Grundschule”
Grundschule Kollnburg
“Wooden Fantasy Creatures” is an art project by painter Georg Fuchssteiner and graphic artist and modeler Peter Herr with the Kollnburg Elementary School. It will take place from May 4 – May 6, 2022. The two artists are based in Bogen and Berlin. Since 2011, they have been running the PHANTASIEWERKSTATT BOGEN, where artists teach various artistic disciplines such as painting, printing, woodcutting and ceramic techniques. The PHANTASIEWERKSTATT also creates space for experimental design. With art educational expertise, the two artists will introduce the role and profession of an artist to children in the third and fourth grade of elementary school. Inspired by a story, the children will make sketches, on the basis of which they create colored wooden figures. Moreover, the effect on the viewer and the interplay of colors are taught theoretically and put into practice.
The presentation of the artworks in an exhibition at SCHIESSLHAUS AiR will give the children the opportunity to share the ideas that they have developed during the two-day workshop with their parents and the public.
