Short Description
The coGalleries Artist Residency Berlin program aims to stimulate exchange between international artists, curators, art organisations and art institutions. The program creates conditions for artists to succeed by offering professional support with networking, production, and presentation of their work. Depending on the type of artist residency, it ends either with a solo exhibition in our art gallery, located in the center of Berlin’s famous gallery district or with a major studio presentation.
Eligibility
We would like to emphasise that we are looking for professional international artists to collaborate with. Our team has a long track record in commercial and non-commercial practices. However, with our artist in residency program, we strive to boost artistic careers and provide value and connections. coGalleries connects to art professionals, curators, and artists to offer support and feedback and to foster new connections for all of us. Artists will become part of Berlin’s international arts community and gain insight in the Berlin art world and beyond.
We are looking for inspiring and professional artists, researchers, and curators to support the residents’ projects through meaningful discussion, critical feedback, and curatorial suggestions. coGalleries works to broaden its local and international network through these personal interactions. We assist residents in realising artistically and technically complex projects and provide them a support base by helping with translations, sales, promotion and organisation.
