AIR InSILo

About

AIR InSILo, established in 2020, is an independent, artist-run residency situated in the serene, rural setting of Hollabrunn, just north of Vienna, Austria. It was founded by artists and curators Ksenia Yurkova and Martin Breindl with a vision to combat the isolation and commercial pressures often faced by artists. By providing a space removed from urban distractions and the demands of productivity, AIR InSILo focuses on fostering community engagement, environmental sustainability, and the exploration of the countryside's hidden layers. The residency is equipped with workshops for wood, metal, and other media projects, offering a comprehensive floor for living and working, shared spaces, and a garden. Emphasizing process over product, AIR InSILo invites artists, curators, and researchers to engage deeply with conceptual art, sustainability, and the ethical challenges of artistic production. It runs thematic open calls annually, focusing on various contemporary issues and offering a supportive environment for artists facing political persecution or needing a retreat to rejuvenate their creativity.
