This was actually my first ever artist in residency experience and it turned out to be so good, that I wonder why I haven´t done this before. The M50 art district where the gallery is located is a very inspiring surrounding. It´s a bit like a little town of it´s own. More than 140 galleries and studios provide an atmosphere that is ideal to create work and meet artists, gallerists and collectors. It is also a bit like an art fair, after a while you get to know your neighbours who are very friendly and open. The gallery is accesible from two sides. So while you are working there, visitors are coming and going. But you can also close the doors if you don´t want to be disturbed. For me one of the most important thing was the exchange of thoughts with visitors and other artists. In only 3 weeks I managed to make more work than in my studio in Berlin in 2 month. And my work changed. It benefitted from the special energy of the place and the people. And the best at the end; the Pantocrator team helped me to get one of my paintings into the collection of the museum of Shandong. — Anonymous, 2014.
