Since the end of May / beginning of June Nida Art Colony is hosting a new group of residents. One of them has arrived already during the Symposium - it's Pipa "Comida de Papel", working on a recipe project which she started developing while on residency in Poland. She has already gathered quite many of those from Lithuanian home-cuisine and is now working on their transcription and translation. All of them will be posted in a trilingual blog, for now you can find them in her Facebook profile.

Grit Ruhland (from Dresden, Germany) artistic works are based on a conceptual approach and involve projects within Community Arts, Public Art, Sound Art and interaction with scientific institutes and topics. During the residency period in Nida Art Colony Grit will be working on an artistic mapping project with the help of open-source project "OpenStreetMaps", linked with OSM-plugin to a special wordpress blog. Grit Ruhland is Techno Ecologies grant recipient.

Nastja Rönkkö from Finland states that her practice is performance-based. She creates one-to-one performance/installations or public situations exploring the notions of love, death and being. Nastjas project in Nida Art Colony will consist of one-to-one walking tours which will focus onto the subjective experience shared by two strangers, and the memories that will be shared online. Nastja is Critical Tourism grant recipient.

Lithuanian artist Lina Žigelytė focuses on the relationship between queer historiography and in/visibility using sound, photography and site specific performances. Her work embraces memory as a twofold process of recollection and forgetting. During her residency in NAC, Lina is working on a project "Searching for Simon(e)", which in the form of audio tour will take one on a dreamlike quest for Simon (Peter) and Simone (de Beauvoir), a fisherman-turned-the-apostle and a philosopher, to a fantasy-like place and time. Lina Žigelytė is awarded Neringa municipality grant.

Wilhelm Klotzek is a German artist, recipient of the Goethe institute grant. He studied Sculpture at KHB Berlin and UDK Berlin. Wilhelm published writings and books by himself and at AKV Berlin next to his sculpture works, which he connects to the medium of the acting body.

Danius Kesminas is of Lithuanian origin, born and raised in Australia, Master of Arts in RMIT University, Melbourne. His activities include music, painting, architecture, film, poetry, theatre, criticism and distillation. According to Danius, his art practice is project-based, trans-disciplinary, cross-cultural, inter-medial and collaborative.
