APPLICATION

The project ‘PILOTENKUECHE’ supports artists and is an international art program based in Europe’s boomtown Leipzig, Germany. The independent project is organized by artists for artists. The fully renovated 465m² studio is located in an old barbed wire factory in the city’s new underground artistic quarter: Leutzsch. With its exposed brick. large windows and high ceiling, this industrial environment allows for creative output that might not be realized elsewhere.

The team operates with a trans-disciplinary background between art & theory. The goal is to provide artists with a base to work from, and acts as a conduit to the local art scene. The project offers a diversity of programs and invites selected artists from around the world as well as handpicked local participants. While international residents come to work at the fully remodeled studio space for a period of three months, local artists are selected to participate on the artistic program. Each accepted artist is offered a stipend, provided by ‘PILOTENKUECHE’. During the programmed events, our studio becomes an exhibition venue. Our concept strives to create a communal space for experimental collaboration and discourse between participants, as well as with the greater Leipzig community.

 

The project provides a range of programs, aiming to connect & engage different disciplines. Each category of our art program coalesces during a 3 months period, after which we realize a collaborative exhibition. Between international & local artists, curators & enthusiasts, the programs we offer are:

    Hi! My name is Mary, I live in Oakland, California, in the US. I am wondering whether it affects my chances of getting into the program if I apply for a stipend. Also, how soon after I apply will I hear back? Thanks very much!

    Dear Pilotenkuechers!

    I am wondering how strict the 3mb size limit is for portfolio PDFs. I am trying to remove parts of my portfolio to make my PDF smaller, but it is breaking my heart… Could I use the 3mb of “additional stuff” to show more portfolio work? If so, would you prefer one 6mb PDF or two 3mb PDFs?

    Thanks!

      Dear Paul,

      internal does not exist, you mean internship (= volonteering, working with the team as a trainee). Artist in residence should be clear.

    Hi Sir/Madam,
    I’m Jesicca, and I’m a Visual Artist, just graduated in college, from Malaysia. And now I’m doing residency program in National Art Gallery until end of December. I was hoping that after that I could join another residency program overseas, get to gain more exposure about art with various people.
    I found out this program through the website ResArtis. So I was thinking if I’m able to join? And what are the criteria to be part of this? Hope to hear from soon!
    Thanks,
    Jesicca

    Hi! I was wondering if it is too late now to apply for a 2019 residency. I saw that the deadline for Round April – June 2019 was indicated 30.06.19 and wonder if that was a mistake. Thank you!
