MiXER is a cross-disciplinary collaboration experiment or as we call it “a playground” where artists from diverse artistic disciplines and cultural backgrounds are encouraged to engage, share methodologies, and inspire each other.
Experiment with no fear of failure, trying out different types of working processes, and thus assess their own artistic processes while learning valuable insights from other artists and/or art forms.
The selected artists from diverse artistic disciplines are paired up to work collaboratively on a new body of work.
Furthermore, their task is to assemble a (digital) ARTISTS’ BOOK covering the leading aspects of their collaboration.
For this, artists are offered uninterrupted, self-directed work time, with 24/7 studio access; but if needed mentorship and/or assistance are also available.
The residency ends with a PUBLIC PRESENTATION of the completed project.
The designed ARTIST’S BOOK is published on all our online platforms.
