In 2023, Urbane Künste Ruhr continued the residency programme Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr with a total of four cooperation partners for the fifth year: As part of the cooperation with the artist and studio house Makroscope, the Ukrainian artist Natalia Dyachenko lived in Mülheim an der Ruhr for six months.
From April 2023, the artists Johanna Gonschorek and Nicoleta Moise conduced research in the archive for three months as part of the cooperation with the Haus der Geschichte des Ruhrgebiets.
In addition, we were able to extend the already existing residencies for the Ukrainian artists Lubov Malikova and Yuri Yefanov for another six and twelve months. Lubov Malikova lived in Essen as a resident in the framework of the cooperation with KunstVereinenRuhr, Yuri Yefanov was on location in Bochum as a scholarship holder of Urbane Künste Ruhr and Kunstmuseum Bochum.
We look back on a diverse program and an intensive exchange with our residents in 2023.
