Artist in residence
PLEASE KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE WEBSITE FOR THE NEW APPLICATION ROUNDS 2010…
For more info on other residencies and guest activities in Rotterdam, please visit http://www.rair.nl/
For many years now, Het Wilde Weten has been running a guest studio, providing international artists the opportunity to live and work in a unique place such as Rotterdam: a popular breeding ground and stage for many (inter)national renowned and upcoming artists. One of the reasons the art scene in Rotterdam is so international, is because of the presence of these residencies run by studio buildings; many of the artists in residence decided to stay in Rotterdam.
The studio building of Het Wilde Weten is a beautiful monastery in the centre of Rotterdam that was recently renovated. Het Wilde Weten is a foundation. The studio building, the public programme and the residency is run by the artists themselves. We are not directly linked to any municipal/national cultural institution.
The residency duration is three months. At the beginning of each stay, as an introduction, the guest artist will be asked to give an ‘artist talk’ to serve as an introduction to the Rotterdam art scene and fellow HWW members. Along with this artist talk event we invite other guest artists currently working in Rotterdam. At the end of the residency period the artist is invited to make his or her exhibition/presentation in our project space of HWW.
The guest artist will be provided with two spaces, a living/bedroom space (30 m2) and a separate studio space (30 m2). Bathroom is next to the living space, toilet is shared.
The costs for our guest studio and living space is 350 euro per month, this includes broadband internet connection, TV, printer, dvd player. A Dutch prepaid cell phone is also provided. For cooking, the guest will be using the common kitchen.
Unfortunately Het Wilde Weten does not offer funding for our guest studio program. However we can provide a letter of invitation in order to apply for funding in your own country.
If you are selected and have confirmed your residency period at Het Wilde Weten, we will send you a contract and will ask you to make a deposit in advance of one month rent plus 100 euros to cover any possible extra cleaning costs for the studio that we will return at the end of your stay if the studio is left in good order.
Please note that Het Wilde Weten has just one residency/resident at a time: the artist in resident is the only artist also living in the building. Other artist run spaces in Rotterdam that run residency programs are: Foundation BAD, Kaus Australis, Duende Studios and Kunst en Complex. Also visit www.rair.nl
