RESIDENCIES

Every spring and summer we host residencies, providing artists the opportunity to develop a project at our unique heritage site.

Residencies at

Van Gogh House

Our residents, many of them artist-duos and collaborators, live and work in the house for one month at a time.

Every residency explores themes relevant to the house or our wider network, from materials and memory to coming-of-age, migration and mental health. Most residencies culminate in a public event and a community workshop. Some of our residents also create small temporary interventions, known as ‘traces’, for the house, which the public can view during our guided house tours at the end of each month.

We often work with international funders, offering artists from around the world the opportunity to spend a life-changing month in London. Most artists come to us through a nomination process.

Our residencies would not be possible without the generous support and sponsorship of our funders listed alongside each photograph below.

Upcoming:

Annabelle Binnerts & Bart Lunenberg

Van Gogh House is pleased to announce that our next residency will host two artists from the Netherlands! This will be the fifth edition of the programme, supported by the Embassy of The Kingdom of The Netherlands and The Mondriaan Fund. We can’t wait to welcome Annabelle Binnerts and Bart Lunenburg to The Van Gogh House this April. The pair boast distinct artistic approaches to the exploration of spaces as vehicles for stories, focusing on written poetic practice and archival research respectively. They hope to combine their approaches in both their first international collaboration and collaboration as a pair. During their residency, they hope to conduct a shared investigation of the house as a “utilitarian object, passed down from resident to resident” as they explore what is seen and unseen in the history of the house. We’re excited to see what they produce!
