Open Call for Artists Round 51 April - June 2022

 OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS

PILOTENKUECHE, Leipzig / Germany

ROUND51 April – June 2022

"PILOTENKUECHE" is an international art program based in Germany's new art capital Leipzig. The independent project is run by artists to support and empower artists.

The project invites within the “International Residency Program” selected artists from around the world to come and work in the 465m², fully remodeled space for three months, with 24h studio access. Each accepted artist is offered a partial stipend in kind that represents our unpaid working hours. We maintain engagements with several partners and introducing our artists to these, make it possible for participants to cooperate. Our concept encourages experimental strategies aiming to get inspired to new strategies and collaboration. In a group of around twelve international artists together with two local artists participating in our program activities, a stimulating dialogue becomes vital in fostering an independent position in one's work, which leads to a long-term network that exists even after the program is over. 

The Program activities are:

• studio visits and open studio if the group is interested 
• contact to the local art scene, 
• organized museum tours, 
• scheduled art critiques, 
• published artists spotlight on each artist
• professional install and exhibition pictures
• two group exhibitions in interesting venues.

 The Studio space consists of:

• one furnished up to 36m² large space per artist in our 465m² large communal loft hall including wifi and all side costs (water, underfloor heating, energy, kitchen, toilet, etc.)
• desk, little storage space
• depends on the work of the artists, but two walls to work on
• large windows 
• approximately twelve artists per month working in the space 
• furnished shared tea kitchen with fridge, microwave, hotplate
• Common area

Participants receive all documentation necessary to apply for funding and the visa process. If required, the project can assist with additional individual reference letters. We’re looking for artists to participate in our program in the 51st round from April – June 2022
