Artist Residency

Motivation

My house is an ideal place to nurture ideas, develop things and focus on their realisation. This is favoured by the peaceful and natural surroundings of Porano. Supporting and maintaining spaces for artists to flourish is a cause I have long supported. I would therefore like to share my space with other artists and bring people together see it as a communal think tank where we philosophise, debate, experiment, create, eat and drink, and freely adapted from Epicurus, cultivate a garden of friendship.

The space

• the house offers two floors with three bedrooms for potentially 7 people, a bathroom, kitchen, dining area, living room, recording studio, laundry, and a charming terrace
• It’s not a luxury abode, but it provides all essentials for a comfortable stay, within the project accommodating 1-4 people simultaneously
• if you like to come alone or with your family, in the times when I work in Germany, as a creative retreat or family holiday home. No problem. The voluntary and donation principle also applies here

About Porano:

• • Porano is a quaint medieval town nestled on a hill in Umbria, 120km north of Rome.
  • Convenience stores, supermarkets, tobacco shops, and a post office are within walking distance.
  • The nearest major city is Orvieto, just 5km away, with a train station providing a 1-hour ride to Rome.
  • Local transportation is available, having a drivers license is recommended. 1h walk down the hill to Orvieto

Possible Activities

• • From morning yoga on the terrace to practicing instruments, developing projects, recording, reading, exploring local markets, cooking, writing, and experiencing nearby cities like Orvieto (10 mins away), thermal baths (1 hour away), Bolsena Lake (25 mins away), Tuscan beaches (2 hours away), and hiking in beautiful surrounding woods.
