ABOUT THE RESIDENCY // TERMs & CONDITIONs
OUR GOAL
The FUSION AIR BERLIN international residency program offers professional artists the opportunity to develop their own research without any "pre-organized" pressure. We do not ask you to submit any special "project" as our board of curators is undoubtedly capable of evaluating an artist's practice by reviewing their specific path through their own website. An artist residency is, first of all, an opportunity to learn, absorb and experience. Our goal is to provide artists "A Room of Their Own" abroad, a meaningful place without any kind of performance anxiety. At the end of your stay, each artist will be free to decide whether to produce a show, presentation or documentation. We are excited about the work-in-progress evolution of our artists' work. From the very moment the artist is selected, we will give them all our support and trust!
