In the context of its research and residency program, ZK/U offers a ‘living & work’ space for artists, scholars and practitioners working in the fields of urban research, geography, anthropology, urbanism, architecture and the humanities. The programme is open to brave, curious, artists in their field, working on the edge of their practice.

Applicant Requirements

ZK/U welcomes artists, scholars, and practitioners (curators, activists, autodidacts, etc.) interested in cross-disciplinary theory and practice dealing with ‘the city’. Artists should be working professionally in their fields and have a broad range of projects and exhibition experience. Scholars and practitioners should have some years of professional experience. Artists, scholars, and practitioners can apply individually or as a group. We especially encourage group applications consisting of artists working with scholars or practitioners from other disciplines. Furthermore, the residents are invited to use ZK/U as a platform, and propose their own formats or longterm satellite projects.

Selection Criteria

The selection criteria will be based upon the founding concept of ZK/U. There are no limitations concerning age or region of provenance of the applicant. The application proposal should be coherent with the Open Call conceptual frame and our Investigation lines (http://www.zku-berlin.org/concept/).

Costs

For individual fellows, depending on the studio-apartment and length of stay, the resident’s costs are between 500 and 800 euro a month. After being selected, ZK/U will support the invited residential fellow in their efforts to secure funding through external grants by providing the fellow with an official invitation and identifying relevant funding networks and grants.

Length of residency: 2 to 8 months
