Period: 05 October – 28 December 2021

The City of Munich and their program ARTIST IN RESIDENCE MUNICH with its two residences Villa Waldberta and Ebenböckhaus stand for openness, encounters, and exchanges between people from all over the world. The goal of the curator residence at Ebenböckhaus is to introduce international curators to the independent art scene in Munich and thus to create new opportunities for exchanges and collaborations.

We also look forward to receive applications from persons with disabilities; as Villa Waldberta is not barrier-free, if need be we would request that you contact us in advance in order to clarify the availability of the necessary infrastructure, and, when required, to find individual, tailored solutions.
We offer:
