culturia is a goal oriented artist in residence program and is set as a long term research project on artistic process. We develop a non material collection archiving texts written by artists. The program is set to entice and stimulate the writing practice through workshops, presentations and filmed interviews with invited artists, curators and other art professionals. All the material will be saved to create a knowledge base for researchers and be a starting point for development of future projects like exhibitions, publications and presentations. The concept is to keep the “non-material” which exists during the pursuit of the artists to the final material artwork. Accomplishing this the content cease to exist. culturia definition of non materiality can be understood only in this opposition.

culturia invites international artists to conduct 12 weeks residency program in Berlin. We offer a unique residency experience consisting of daily writing practice and filmed interview recordings. Residents are expected as a result of the program to submit a text to Non Material Collection.

Deadline: 9th of June
Date of Residency: 5th of August – 31st of October
Final Decision: 17th of June
