Documentation

Project Dean Roberts:
Development of new recorded works

Statement:

At the kind invitation of institut5haus, I came to Vienna and partook in the Artist-in-Residency program at the MQW. During this time I wrote a large amount of work and produced audio recordings in the apartment studio.  I had been working excessively with numerous projects which I wanted to finish and publish, and a lot of music ideas I wanted to document and develop.

It gave me the opportunity to complete unfinished works in a beautiful environment, it is a wonderful space to concentrate in. So it was a highly productive period for me and it was wonderful to have this context to work in.

I played a numerous live concerts in Vienna around this period and began to become very engaged with the thriving music community in Vienna. I developed further longstanding collaborative relationships with Artist from Vienna and was relived of the often overbearing pressures of working independently in fringe culture industry.

In that, it is remarkable that an Institution such as quartier21 in MQ exist and provided this program to support and empower the marginal and experimental arts communities.

I am very greatful to the institution to offer me this opportunity to live and work in this environment, and I hope that the MQW Q 21 continues with this program of fostering independent artist.
