About
From the 1st of February until the 1st of June Wouter Osterholt and Elke Uitentuis will be artists in residence at the Townhouse gallery in Cairo, Egypt. Since its inception in 1998, the Townhouse Gallery of contemporary art has established itself as one of the region’s leading independent spaces for the arts, providing an extensive programme of visual arts, film, theatre and music. In addition, community development initiatives as well as educational programmes figure significantly in their multiple mandates. Townhouse Gallery has expanded over the course of the last years. Besides the exhibition space in the Townhouse itself, there’s a big factory space and theatre across the street, an library and a shop. Nowadays the gallery stands as one of the largest private exhibition spaces in the Middle East. The Townhouse Gallery is located in the old citycenter. All decisions are been made in conjucted with the neighbours. William Wells is the director of the Townhouse Gallery.
Our stay at the Town house gallery is sponsored by ‘Fonds BKVB’.
