On February 1st, 2024, KRINZINGER SCHOTTENFELD opens the exhibition "ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE 2023" –a group exhibition of 14national and international, emerging and already renowned contemporary artists. The exhibiting artists participated in the Krinzinger residency program in Petőmihályfa (Hungary), Kuberton (Croatia), Sri Lanka and in Vienna (Austria), in 2023on the invitation of Dr. Ursula Krinzinger. The exhibited works were created duringthe respective stays of the participating artists and reflect the different local conditions –ecological, social, cultural or political –coupled with the personal experiences of the artists and their influence on individual creative processes. KRINZINGER SCHOTTENFELD (formerly known as Krinzinger Projekte) was founded in 2002 as a project space and extension of the Galerie Krinzinger. Since then, the space has been realizing a very successful international program consisting primarily of thematic group exhibitions displaying fresh artistic positions. The artist-in-residence program is intended to offer national and international artists the opportunity to expand their networks and to produce and collect new impressions outside their usual working environment. Previous participants of the program have,meanwhile,become very successful representatives of important positions in the international art scene.

We would like to thank Danish Arts Council, Bundeskanzleramt, Republic of Croatia Ministry of Culture and Media, Istarska županija -Regione Istriana, Osztrák Kulturális Fórum for the support of this exhibition.

Benson's abstract paintings, which reference 1980s computer graphics and early image editing programs, create a digital language that evokes nostalgic feelings. Born in 1985, she is one of the first artists to paint on the computer before transferring the result to canvas.We present the result of her residency, as part of our Artist in Residence program in Vienna, May 2023.
