Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to examine the role of artist residencies and their contribution to the journey of artistic expression. The data were gathered by collecting information found in articles, publications, online sources and books. During the research, more attention has been paid to the attributions of artists throughout history brought by their need to travel in search of inspiration, experiment with mediums, collaborate with other artists, explore new cultures and exchange ideas. The data were analysed by applying the results of the expansion and diversification of artist-in-residence programs as we know them today.
The artistic part of the thesis titled Winter Harvest - a mixed-media project consisting of four oil paintings, a video and a textile installation, was implemented as a case study to further analyse how the change of the environment and the introduction to a new culture affect the working process and inner state of an artist. The site-specific series of artworks were created in the course of the artist’s residence in Finland during winter of 2022-2023. The final project was exhibited in the Degree Show Raw of the Fine Art study path at Gallery Himmelblau in March 2023.
The findings of this thesis clarify the significantly beneficial result an artist can receive by applying and participating in an artist-in-residence program throughout their artistic journey. Specifically, they indicate the significant possibilities of artist-in-residence programs located in Finland. The findings can be used as an instructive source for upcoming artists who are interested in having further information and participating in an artist-in-residence program during their artistic career.
