As part of the MQ AiR Open Studio, the current MQ Artists-in-Residence open the doors to their studios on the MuseumsQuartier site. The eight international artists will give an insight into their work through short presentations. There will be a guided tour at 17h, after which you can meet the artists in person and chat with them over an aperitif.

At the presentation Sőrés will be playing on PolyViola, a newly developed polyphonic electronic experimental music instrument. The PolyViola is the work of Berlin based master experimental musical instrument builder and digital instrument development engineer Sukandar Kartadinata. The instrument premiered at the Venice Music Biennale in September.

In addition, during the presentation you will be able to listen to Sőrés’ Astro-Noetic Chiasm χ drone music composition from a vinyl album released in 2023 on Fourth Dimension Records and Hinge Thunder. The graphic score of this musical piece will also be available on the presentation.

The MuseumsQuartier’s international Artist-in-Residence programme, which is realized in cooperation with partners such as BMEIA, BMKÖS and tranzit.org/ERSTE Stiftung, has been offering around 60 international artists the opportunity to live and work in the MuseumsQuartier every year since 2002, to further develop their artistic projects and to get to know the local art and culture scene. The aim of the Artist-in-Residence program is also to continuously stimulate the art and cultural scene in the Austrian capital with new impulses from outside and to promote exchange by involving international artists.
