ZK/U驻留项目招募 | Open Call: Residency at ZK/U

                
                
柏林艺术与城市规划中心（ZK/U）
一个新的创新性空间，为城市研究领域的艺术创作提供为期2到8个月的项目驻留场所。位于前铁路车站、四周公园环绕的ZK/U（Center for Art and Urbanistics）是柏林艺术家团体KUNSTrePUBLIK的一个概念产物。与十九世纪的货物铁路运输方式异曲同工，这个独特的新场所旨在成为后工业时代里一个想法与创意的活跃集散地。
                
                
ZK/U驻留项目
除了工作室内的活动，ZK/U驻留项目重在支持艺术家、学者和实践者之间的跨学科交流，促成他们独立或共同工作的成果——包括在概念框架下的新项目、座谈会和展览。ZK/U希望，这些国际和本地层面的跨学科交流能够加强双方短期或长期的联系与合作。

In the context of its research and residency program, ZK/U offers a "living & work space": furnished studio-apartments (half of which have private bathrooms), communal facilities, a platform open for public events, lectures, discussions, screenings, performances and presentations.
Length of residency
2 to 8 months.
Applicant Requirements
ZK/U welcomes artists, scholars, and practitioners (curators, activists, autodidacts, etc.) interested in cross-disciplinary theory and practice dealing with “the city”. Artists should be working professionally in their fields and have a broad range of projects and exhibition experience. Scholars and practitioners should have some years of professional experience.
Artists, scholars, and practitioners can apply individually or as a group. We especially encourage group applications consisting of artists working with scholars or practitioners from other disciplines.
Furthermore, the residents are invited to use ZK/U as a platform, and propose their own formats or longterm satellite projects.
Selection Criteria
The selection criteria will be based upon the founding concept of ZK/U. There are no limitations concerning age or region of provenance of the applicant. The application proposal should be coherent with the Open Call conceptual frame and our Investigation lines (http://www.zku-berlin.org/concept/).
Costs
For individual fellows, depending on the studio-apartment and length of stay, the resident’s costs are between 500 and 800 euro a month.
After being selected, ZK/U will support the invited residential fellow in their efforts to secure funding through external grants by providing the fellow with an official invitation and identifying relevant funding networks and grants.
