RESIDENCIES

Artist Wei Zhen, drawing at the Van Gogh House

Every spring and summer we host residencies, providing artists the opportunity to develop a project at our unique heritage site.

Residencies at

Van Gogh House

Our residents, many of them artist-duos and collaborators, live and work in the house for one month at a time.

Every residency explores themes relevant to the house or our wider network, from materials and memory to coming-of-age, migration and mental health. Most residencies culminate in a public event and a community workshop. Some of our residents also create small temporary interventions, known as ‘traces’, for the house, which the public can view during our guided house tours at the end of each month.

We often work with international funders, offering artists from around the world the opportunity to spend a life-changing month in London. Most artists come to us through a nomination process.

Our residencies would not be possible without the generous support and sponsorship of our funders listed alongside each photograph below.

Current Residents

We are excited to welcome Gabriel Pessoto and Ana Miguel. Both Artists are from Brazil, and will be joining us for 4 weeks across June and July.

Gabriel Pessoto works as an artist researching the impact of contemporary visual culture and the online experience of desire. Mainly working with textiles, he has taken part in group exhibitions such as ‘Queer Histories’ at MASP (São Paulo, Brazil) and the ‘18th International Triennial of Textile’ (Łódź, Poland).

Ana Miguel’s practice examines human relations, words, deviations, slippages of meaning and from the experiences of time and affection. She began her work as an artist with investigations into engraving which, over time, have metamorphosed into three-dimensional works. Ana has participated in numerous group shows both in Brazil and abroad, including the 15 Bienal de La Habana (Havana, Cuba, 2024), and has had solo exhibitions dedicated to her work are Memória Bambi, (Cavalo Gallery, Rio de Janeiro, 2026).

Join us for their open studios on the 11th July.

This residency has been supported by the Guimarães Rosa Institute, and is part of the UK/Brazil Season of Culture.
