Talks and studio visits

We take special pleasure in staying informed—and informing others—about our grant recipients’ and alumni’s wide-ranging activities. In our magazine maecenas and our annual reports, for example, we introduce their research and art projects, new artworks, exhibitions, and catalogue and publication presentations. Here is a selection of those texts.
(Please note: Unfortunately, the subpages for the studio visits are only available in German.)
