SILK KLISCOPE Artists in Residence

SILK KLISCOPE - an interdisciplinary place for dance and art - starts a unique Artist in Residence Program this fall.

About the Program

Shows the event space with semi drawn courtains, with angel statue's faces poking out

With this program we aim to support different generations of artists from different genres who work in a context of contemporaneity and interdisciplinarity. The residencies will be assigned to projects that are almost in the end-period of creation. As a special highlight the chosen artists get the chance to present their final piece as a preview. With our SILK KLISCOPE Artist in Residence Program we want to promote the local independent as well as the international scene. All concepts are welcome - projects with a hip hop-contemporary background will be given an advantage in the selection process.

Space of creation and presentation:
Studio SILK KLISCOPE
Glimpfingerstr. 8, EINGANG SÜD, 4020 Linz, Austria

At SILK KLISCOPE we offer you - for your artistic work in the fields of dance, performance, visual arts, photography, film, etc. - a stage, equipped with lighting and sound system.
