We welcome applications from all types of creative practitioner, including visual artists, architects, filmmakers, writers, curators, musicians, performing artists and those working across disciplines or in collaboration. We offer 2 or 4 week residencies which begin on Sundays and end on Saturdays.
Application Process: As space is limited, we select applicants based on an evidence of their professional experience, quality of past work, project idea and compatibility with any other residents staying at the same time.
Application deadline: January 6, 2025
Available rooms and dates: The residency house includes two studios/bedrooms (large and small) with private bathrooms, a fully equipped shared kitchen and a washing machine. Included in the residency fee are sheets, towels, all detergents, water, electricity, heating, and internet access. In the large studio is a large screen and a projector. To get around there are bisycles available. Residents can use the garden and the greenhouse and the honey produced by the KORDON bees. There is The Container Gallery as an exhibition and project space which residents can use if there is no exhibition at the same time.

Expectations towards the artist
As this is a self-funded residency, the only expectation is that the artist works on their project during the majority of their residency. We hope that this supportive environment, without the pressure to produce, will aid creativity, experimentation and the development of new ideas. KORDON, for its part, deals with communication and supports the resident with the necessary help during the residency. KORDON offers all creative practitioners and researches a change of pace and the space to create.
