As artist-in-residence I plan …
to make the studio a space for coming together and exchanging ideas.
My artistic works …
tend to ask a specific question.
Contemplation is an important part of the artistic self because …
the slow nature of contemplation can allow something to emerge that requires time to evolve.
Art creates space to …
feel, show feelings, think anew, deconstruct, amuse yourself, find yourself, position yourself, experience or provide sensory pleasure, rub away at something to access new thoughts, be able to recognise configurations, experience unexpected perspectives, make investments and reap rewards, drink sparkling wine at exhibition openings, capture the spirit of the age, carry out research, heal and much more.
It makes me happy to …
provoke a response.
The flying artist’s room should be a space for …
dreams.
I want to make everyday life special through …
small interventions that make people sit up and take notice.
“I’m interested in working with young people because I like to be present when new trends emerge and experience how they (the young people) adapt to this constantly changing world.”
Johannes Jakobi, artist-in-residence 2025/2026
As an artist I want to make myself more useful to society because …
I believe in the transformative potential of the arts. Especially where conventional systems are failing.
What I hope to leave behind once my time as artist in residence comes to an end …
are the many good experiences that art can represent. Many lovely anecdotes and memorable experiences that have led to discoveries, greater orientation and self-empowerment.
