#1 Art Residence at the Ústí nad Labem House of Arts (CZ)

Artist Hannes Egger (IT) implemented a residence during the months November and December 2022 at the cultural and educational institution. He focused on the experience of performing with students of the Faculty of Art and Design at Jan E. Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem and also he prepared an Artist Talk for the public (November 1st, 2022) where spoke about his artworks and creative processes. On December 7th, he performed a artwork for the opening of exhibition Gardening of Soul: Introduction called “Patato Soup (Terra Project) / Potatoes Soup (Terra Project)” (performance, 2022) as another result of his residence. The performance was about eating together, sharing and digesting. While researching for the Project Terra (installation – video, objects), which is about the First World War, he came across a war cookbook from Upper Austria from 1915. He cooked the potato soup recipe it contained and served it in the performance.
