SUMMER RESIDENCY 2016
BERLIN
This summer in Berlin, explore art after the anthropocene, make a film in three days, discuss smuggling as a curatorial practice and resistance as an artistic one. Weave the written word into your artistic practice and create new projects for futuring polypodies. Find your voice, your body and your words in an intensive think tank style space of experimentation and exchange. Take a drive into the world of the flaneur and (re)learn the art of getting lost. Join an excursion to the Berlin Biennale with curators and critics, practice tools of engaging conflict and collaborate on explorations of chance and control. Meet Berlin based curators and artists for speed crits, explore the Transart Triennale with over 130 participants from all over the world, have intensive one on one meetings with seasoned Transart advisors and present your work to a diverse, international group of artists, curators, writers and theorists. Participate in collective dinners and impromptu performances, don’t think about your job once for three weeks, get new takes on old work, show new work for the first time, go to openings, galleries, fool around and get suggestions for a list of books on your topic so good you can’t put them down.
Take it all back to your studio along with your plans and create a body of work like nothing you’ve done before. Be assured of the support, encouragement, feedback and resources you need in order to take all necessary risks. Find a sustainable balance. Keep working. Push yourself.
