Künstlerhaus Edenkoben

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Künstlerhaus Edenkoben has the task of promoting art and culture. This is done through an event program, through the award of grants and the edition of book series.

History, location and space

To promote culture and art, the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Culture founded the Künstlerhaus in 1987, which was initially housed in the manor at Edenkoben , Klosterstrasse 175. After the renovation of the Bergelmühle located in the vineyards, which was acquired in 1995 by the Rhineland-Palatinate Foundation for Culture , the artist's house moved there in 1997 due to differences of opinion between the owner of the manor house, Konrad Stahl, and the owner. The house is on Klosterstrasse 181 in Edenkoben. In addition to the main building, the grounds include an event hall, several studio buildings and a garden with an orchard. The Künstlerhaus contains four apartments for scholarship holders, several guest rooms, a printing workshop and a library. It is financed by annual grants from the foundation. The current head is Hans Thill , whose work is supported by an advisory board and a support group.

tasks

The Künstlerhaus runs its own program of events with a focus on contemporary literature, especially poetry, as well as visual arts and music. Due to the presence of the scholarship holders, it is not only a place to work and live for poets, authors, translators, artists and musicians, but also a meeting place for those interested in art and literature. There are joint projects with neighboring French colleagues and institutions and intensive cooperation with numerous cultural institutions in Germany, for example with the Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck , the Literaturhaus Berlin and the Südwestrundfunk . In addition, several series of books are published, including bilingual books as a result of the translation workshop.

Scholarships

Awarding Practice and Scholarship Benefits

Every year up to twelve artists are invited by the Rhineland-Palatinate Minister of Culture to a two- to five-month scholarship; Own applications have been possible since 2014. There are two annual scholarship periods (1st and 2nd semester). The application period for scholarships in the first half of the year is from March 1 to April 30 of the previous year; the application period for scholarships in the second half of the year is from August 1 to September 30 of the previous year. The scholarship recipients receive 1200 euros per month as well as free accommodation in the fully furnished apartments and studios and reimbursement of travel expenses. There is a residence requirement . The artists have the opportunity to present or exhibit their work.

Publication series

Neighbors' poetry

This important series, of which 26 volumes were published by 2014, is entitled “Poetry of the Neighbors - Poets Translate Poets”. Each edition is the result of a European meeting of poets. The bilingual editions, edited by Gregor Laschen and, since 2000, by Hans Thill, appear in the "edition die horen " (volumes 1–15), or in the publishing house Das Wunderhorn (volume 16ff.).

German trip to Plovdiv

Every year a volume of poetry or prose is published by German writers who have had a work grant at the Künstlerhaus in Plovdiv . The books edited by Hans Thill are published by the Heidelberger Verlag Das Wunderhorn .

Edition Künstlerhaus

In this bibliophile series edited by Michael Buselmeier , both little-known and well-known authors such as Hans Bender , Ludwig Harig or Walter Helmut Fritz are presented with poems and short prose.

Further publication series

With the publications in the "Dialogue" series, a cultural exchange takes place between artists and writers from the border regions of Alsace and the Palatinate. Regional poetic peculiarities, for example contemporary Sorbian literature, are promoted in “Poetry Visavis”. In addition, editions of the portrait series “Künstlerhaus Broschur” are published on special occasions.
