ZKU

International Open Call for Residencies

KUNSTrePUBLIK is happy to announce its first OPEN CALL for residencies at ZKU (Zentrum fuer Kunst und Urbanistik / Center for Art and Urbanistics) in Berlin.

The call is directed at artists, scholars and practitioners (curators, activists, autodidacts etc.) interested in cross-disciplinary theory and practice dealing with the city.

ZKU has been founded by parts of Berlin-based artists‘ collective KUNSTrePUBLIK, offering residencies for artistic practice at the interface of urban research. Following a three year process of negotiations, reconstructions and with a lot of support from friends and colleagues (Thanks!), the ZKU will open its doors for residents in June 2012. Located in a former railway depot surrounded by a newly landscaped public park, ZKU seeks to develop projects, co-produce knowledge and share values created through exchanges. The site has been established through a longterm lease allowing independent research, programming and production. ZKU focuses on the processes that come from, and feed into, the particular contexts of its guests practice, whether they be locally-defined situations or international discourses. 

Please check out our website and don't hesitate to distribute the 'Open Call'.
