Artists in Residents 2002-2026
Alphabetical order
M-P

The artists are listed in alphabetical order by surname (with surname prefixes disregarded for sorting purposes). For each artist, the country of origin is indicated. If the artist currently lives and works in a different country, that country is also listed. The artist's principal artistic discipline is included as well.
 
Approximately half of the artists participated in the OBRAS residency programs only once, while the others returned, some on as many as ten occasions. Regardless of the number of residencies, each artist appears only once in this archive.
The total number of artist residencies was approximately 1,000. Residency periods typically ranged from three to ten weeks.

To facilitate browsing, the archive is divided into six alphabetical sections: A–D, E–G, H–L, M–P, R–T, and U–Z.
T
his page shows M-P.
 
Other pages list cultural events and the resident’s projects.

A visual collage of residents is in this slide show.
