ByHannah Stahl (MFA 2015) Instead of writing about all the things we’ve seen so far, I’ve decided to show you. Here is a video compilation of the various happenings we’ve had the incredible opportunity to be a part of in Germany. The video takes a look at our home and studio life at the Leipzig Spinnerei; critiques with other artists-in-residence; a… Read More
By Krista Smith (MFA 2014) The past couple of weeks here have flown by. Between painting, panting in our stifling rooms, and making quick escapes to the lake, we managed to put together a great end of summer show. We all crawled out of our studios to help clean and hang the work alongside Kristina and Mareika (interns of LIA)… Read More
By Shangkai (Kevin) Yu (MFA 2014) It is my feeling that it would be important to make a post that reflects our time here accurately. Beer drinking, sausage eating, lake swimming, grass and beach napping, museum visiting, and painting are our life in Leipzig. Before going on to the museums and general art talk, here are two pictures that sum… Read More
By Alicia Brown (MFA 2014) It has been 34 days since we entered the gates of the Spinnerei, and every day from that moment has been a pinch-me experience. Waking up in the mornings to the sound of Neo Rauch working in his studio (located above the large studio space I share with Krista Smith) is definitely my alarm clock… Read More
By Tim Buckley (MFA 2014) Welcome to Halle 18 @ The Spinnerei Dream Land. This is dream land. The time is flying by here in Leipzig. Our first month is nearly up, and the experience has so far exceeded any expectations I might have had. To bring everyone up to speed, I’ll quickly list a few very important things in… Read More
By Krista Smith (MFA 2014) We are going into week three here at the Spinnerei, and everyone is deep into their own work. For me, the Spinnerei is kind of like one massive production site where artists from all over the world come to nestle into their industrial-sized lofts and make some serious use of its big white walls. Our… Read More
By Shangkai Kevin Yu (MFA 2014) Krista Smith and I met up with Tim Buckley in Munich to take the propeller plane into Leipzig. I will never forget seeing Tim’s familiar big beard and broad smile when he found us at the airport and listening to him rave about how amazing sitting in a tin can at 37,000 feet… Read More

By Jon Beer (MFA 2012, Fellow 2013) Over five weeks ago I arrived in Leipzig, Germany to begin what would be a two month painting residency at the Baumwollspinnerei, (once Europe’s largest cotton mill now artist hub. Think of Bushwick but much nicer.) It is one of the largest cities in former East Germany, and is the home of the… Read More
