Program Description

ZK/U is an artist-led independent art residency and project space. It hosts a multidisciplinary residency program, offering a living and working space for practitioners of all kinds (artists, researchers, activists, professionals of various fields) whose work or approach explores the dynamics and experiences of the city. The residency program encourages proposals that challenge conventions, take daring positions, and include extraordinary perspectives. It welcomes applications with a project proposal framed as -a conceptual, contextual and interventionist contemporary artistic position, -research or experimentation in the fields of urbanism, geography, anthropology, architecture and the humanities. The ZK/U residency program allows mutual learning, spontaneous collaborations, discussions and exchanges to emerge, enriched by the diversity of disciplines and profiles of the residents.
