Artist Residency Program
About our artist residency scheme
In 2021, we launched a residency scheme for local artists & creative practitioners. This scheme gives people who are at an early stage of their careers an opportunity to develop their practice in the beautiful surroundings of Gathenhielmska Huset.
By giving artists time and space to devote themselves to their work in a unique environment, we hope to offer new sources of inspiration, encourage experimentation and support artistic advancement. Through the scheme we also want to cultivate new connections between artists, and each residency includes a public engagement element in the form of a residency presentation.
Are you an artist interested in finding out more? We’ll hopefully be announcing another open call soon – keep your eyes peeled!

Current Artist in Residence : Nanna Hammer Tiittanen
Supported by: Kulturrådet
Nanna Hammer Tiittanen (1996) was born in Aarhus, Denmark. She recently graduated with a bachelor in fine art photography at Valand Academy, Gothenburg. Nanna primarily works with alternative photographic methods. She is often exploring themes as identity, family relations, nostalgia, and storytelling in photography. She is inspired by theoretical texts, poetry and comics and often includes text in her photographic work.
“I imagine my work resulting in a series of photographs in black and white and color, all taken in and of the house but manipulated using different alternative photographic methods. I hope to capture the soul of a house frozen in time with an expressive, almost ghostlike style, as I want the pictures to be more feeling than describing. By working with different fragments, layers, bits and pieces, like an archeologist, I want the series to evolve organically.”
Nanna’s residency outcome will be exhibited in late 2022 / spring 2023.
Previous artists-in-residence
Ida Gudmundsson
Ida Gudmundsson (f.1986) är verksam som bildkonstnär i Eskilsby, utanför Landveter och arbetar främst med oljemåleri. Under 2021 hade hon residens på Gathenhielmska huset. Utställningen är sprungen ur hennes undersökning av platsens performativa aspekter, med avstamp i rummens interiörer och husets placering i landskapet. Bildsviten En gång skog visades på Gathenhielmska Huset i mars 2022, med fler än 800 besökare. En gång skog visades även på Gunnebo slot i Mölndal och Malingsbo herrgård i Söderbärke, Dalarna.
Anja Fredell
Anja Fredell arbetar huvudsakligen med handtuftningsteknik och skapar skulpturer, bilder och mattor. Arbetet kretsar kring relationer mellan olika rum och kroppar och konsekvenserna av dessa relationer. Konstverken uttrycker inre förhållanden som åskådliggörs genom färger och kraftfulla rörelser. 2022 hade Anja residens på Gathenhielmska Huset, som resulterade i att hon skapade en färgkarta över huset. Fredell använde sig av ett urval av färgerna från färgkartan och skapade tuftade exempel och utforskade hur dem förhåll sig till huset. Vi hoppas kunna fortsätta projektet senare i året och undersöka hur vi kan arbeta på nya sätt med husets färger genom tuftning.
Sarah Alfarhan
Sarah Alfarhan is a West Asian educator, graphic designer, and illustrator based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Sarah self-publishes small edition books and zines inspired by the translation and interpretation of language. For Sarah’s residency at Gathenhielmska Huset, she worked with the themes of home and language, weaving a story through three paper-based objects. Sarah’s work was presented at Salon de Papier, an events which aims to shine a spotlight on self-publishing and build a network of artists with common interests.
