What is the idea behind the partnership?
1.RESIDENCIES (May – June 2016, August – September 2016, October – November 2016 – Warsaw and Berlin)
The project involves three artists from Berlin and four artists from Warsaw. Residencies will take place consecutively, so one resident at a time (the length of each residency stay is one – two months). Each residency stay ends with a final exhibition/project, that takes place in the XS Art center. The residency also includes workshops and meetings led by residents from Berlin and implementation of projects by artists from Warsaw.
2. EXHIBITIONS (June 2016, August – September 2016, October – November 2016)
Exhibitions are creations of both residents and Warsaw-based artists. They are developed and prepared during their stay in both cities.
3.ONLINE PUBLICATION ( December 2016)
A publication will be available online for free on the project website and it will contain materials documenting projects. Projects concern two editions of the residency program as well as ordered critical texts. Publications will be fully bilingual (Polish-English).
