We give the artists a studio (in addition there is a digital interface with high-end technology in the form of 3 Canon IPF large format printers and the finest hardware in Berlin).
You are completely free to decide whether you want to draw with the papers, or print, tear or cut them up, weave them, burn them, eat them, sculpt them.... - everything is possible.
In Munich we offer the pure studio without technique, and of course Hahnemühle paper.
We want to inspire creative minds and let them draw on the full potential of the material.
A total of four residencies of two weeks each will be awarded.
Open Call
THE PROJECT
February 2018
The preparatory phase for the residences project commenced in February 2018. Fueled by our own appreciation for paper, we were motivated to inspire others to explore the potential of this versatile material.
The residencies aim to enhance public awareness of fine art paper and fine art prints as products, contributing to a broader appreciation of the fine arts.
The FineArt-Print
FineArt print boasts compelling advantages, including archival stability, sustainability of raw materials, tactile pleasure, brilliance in print results, and, not least, a versatile range of possibilities for three-dimensional processing. This is achieved through a broad selection of grammages and paper compositions.
Willingness
Right from the start, our ideas and visions met with interest and willingness.
We set up a richly equipped residency from the outset, the aim of which is to allow the artists to draw from the full and provide them with ample quantities of paper.
Paper. City. Future.
This year's residencies -themed 'Paper. City. Future.'- target visual artists with prior experience in sculptural paper work or those with a clear idea or concept for their paper projects. The objective of these residencies is to encourage visual artists to explore paper in a completely free and experimental manner
