Kunsthaus Jägermeister is an art project funded by Jägermeister. The goal of the project is to give artists a place to create art, make connections, learn about being a professional artist and gain a visible foothold in the Finnish art scene.
Every autumn, Kunsthaus provides a group of artists with a creative space, top-notch art equipment, exposure through networking events, media presence, and knowledge through workshops and talks. The principles on our team is sharing ideas, perspectives and concepts to learn from each other’s viewpoints.
The residency in 2024 is happening in Helsinki between 26.8. and 6.10. Our address is Merimiehenkatu 36 D, 00150. Check out this year's programme.
Kunsthaus Jägermeister is all about creating art without limits.
Kunsthaus Jägermeister features interesting international and domestic visitors and keynote speakers who teach the Kunsthaus artists and guests about different fields of art. The keynote events or "Kunst-Talks" are interactive, eye-opening presentations and conversations about current topics in the art scene for art lovers, artists and guests alike.

About
Alex Kollerová is a cultural worker and curator from Bratislava, Slovakia. Alex holds a Bachelor's degree in Arts and Humanities and Master’s degree in Museum Cultures from Birkbeck, University of London.
Residing in Helsinki since 2018, Alex has cultivated collaborations with various local entities, fostering robust connections and establishing a solid presence in the Helsinki art scene. Since the summer of 2020, Alex has been working at Globe Art Point, advocating for cultural equity, diversity, and the inclusion of international professionals in the arts and culture sector. In addition to their advocacy work, Alex serves as the chairperson of the Helsinki International Artists' Association and holds a curator position at the studio residency Kunsthaus Jägermeister.
Alex is fascinated by art forms that are non-confirmative and stand outside of the context of traditional art venues. They are particularly drawn to experimental, avant-garde, and cross-disciplinary artforms that challenge viewers and seek to push the boundaries of mainstream art. Through their work, Alex interrogates preconceived notions of art, examining how these notions have evolved over time and been influenced by socio-political contexts. Alex firmly believes that audiences possess the power to shape the trajectory of contemporary art making by encouraging critical questions about fundamental concepts such as: What is art? Who has the agency to create art, and who determines what qualifies as art?
