culturia is happy to announce a launch of an open call for the residnecy period between 5th November 2012 – 31st January 2013.

culturia is an artist in residence program based in Berlin committed to researching and documenting the artistic process.

culturia offers a unique residency for artists and researchers working in emergent contemporary art practices. culturia residents are mid career artists, PhD candidates, academics whose work investigates the artistic process.

culturia’s mentoring exchange program gives artists the opportunity to explore contemporary art theory and ideas of aesthetics with established artists and curators.

culturia curators conduct sensitive, inquisitive film interviews with artists focusing on the artistic process in all its facets. These interviews serve to preserve on record interesting and important aspects of the creative process which may not be apparent in the final art work, create a dialogue with artists about their practice and build a film archive which pushes this discourse forward in an academic capacity.

culturia non material collection preserve the material that usually does not fit within the object. The non material collection does not include artworks but is made by the artists reflection on art – (audio, text, video).
culturia offers for its fellows networking possibilities on local and international levels via dinners, guest visits, presentations.

residency for artists and researchers
deadline: 26th February 2012
residency period: 1st May – 31st July 2012
culturia is a residency program based in Berlin

brief introduction to culturia
culturia has been building its networks since 2005 and has progressively changed from a residency using temporary spaces in Berlin to develop into
an experimental place where the practice of exploring artistic process became the concept.

idea and program
culturia is a twofold: an art residency and a non-material collection. Strategically declining in its approach to pure studio practice, culturia
invites artists to present projects in close relation between process and presentation.
The main point of the program is to enhance the internal development of the artist during the short-term residency, which can be more valuable
than a production of new objects.

Following this vision culturia has opened, parallel to the realization of the artist’s proposal, a construction of a document that seeks for the understanding of an ideal point of view on art. Here, the approach and medium are chosen by the artist as long as the statement remains “visible” to others.

The non-material collection is used with agreement of artists to safeguard a record of their singular point of view. Gathered materialwill be used for retrospective exhibitions and other eligible events.

open to
Artists and researchers. No restrictions on media.
