The Dr. René und Renia Schlesinger Association, founded in 1980, offers international artists of all disciplines the chance to use the idyllically located ‘Birli' studio building, a spacious farmhouse without studio near the Appenzell village of Wald, for a year or less. Projects are developed and if possible realized at this remote retreat. The studio house should be opened to the public at some point during residencies. Between May and October 2013 eight artists are staying as guests: Aurelio Kopainig (Switzerland), Julia Mensch (Argentina) and the artist group Palatti with Mirya Gerardu (Germany/Netherlands), Betty Ras (Netherlands) and Paul Steenberghe (Netherlands) as well as visiting artists Mako Ishizuka (Japan), Nicolas Novali (Argentina) and Chih Ying (Taiwan).
