Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Laurence Kavanagh. Born in 1976 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, Kavanagh is an artist and a curator, developing his visual practice across a range of media, including collage and installation. His sculptural work explores the ways in which objects, like props, come in and out of focus as they are invested with narrative value and projected memories. Laurence often relies on cinematographic or literary references to provide a framework for his pieces, translating their sequential arrangements into multi-layered images and spatial constructions reminiscent of set design. Laurence currently lives and works in London and will be staying in Studio Verde during April 2023.

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Johanna Silbermann. Born in 1982 in Halle/Saale, Alemania, Silbermann studied at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo and at the Univeristy of the Arts in Berlin from 2005 to 2011. Johanna’s paintings are held in earthly tones, mixed with some blue and white, showing architectural structures embedded in their natural surroundings and leaving human or animal life out. Johanna currently lives and works in Berlin and will be staying in Studio Rojo during April 2023.

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Carolin Eidner. Born in 1984 in Berlin, Germany, Eidner graduated from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and from the Art Academy of Düsseldorf. She moves in multifaceted intersections – between a philosophical approach and a specific individual attitude towards materiality – and focuses on the relationship between the conceptual and physical aspects of objects and materials. Carolin currently lives and works in Düsseldorf and will be staying in Studio Amarillo during April 2023.

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Anna Schachinger. Born in 1990 in Viena, Austria, Schachinger received her diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2018, participated in the maumaus study program in Lisbon in 2017 and studied at School of the Art Institute in Chicago from 2010 to 2012. In her practice, Anna explores the parameters of painting and expands them through queer-feminist discourse on both material and visual levels. Anna currently lives and works in Vienna and will be staying in Studio Azul during April 2023.
