The residency program is intended for active artists, creators, and theoreticians, who desire independence and want space and technical support for working on their projects. That’s what the Petrohradská kolektiv AiR program offers in the heart of a multi-genre cultural center in Prague. The goal of the program is to create an open platform for international artistic dialogue, interconnection of different cultures, and support for emerging artists working with diverse media. Residency is an opportunity for independent professional development, artistic exchange, networking, and experiments. The residency will be in Prague.
The resulting outcomes of the residencies will be showcased in Jedna Dva Tři Gallery of Petrohradská kolektiv complex at a group show. The main theme of the exhibition program for 2023 is Survival course, therefore the project asks all the applicants to take this into account when submitting their projects. Prospective participants should introduce concrete projects that would be realized during their stay in Prague. The final result of the residency will be traditionally showcased in the Jedna Dva Tři Gallery.
The residency provides a shared studio with a workshop with basic equipment with an area of 60 square meters, a photo/video studio, and a recording studio. Each project requires different technical equipment, therefore the technology needed is consulted with each artist individually.
Each participant gets a private room in a 3-room apartment with a common area, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The apartment is situated on the ground floor of the Petrohradská kolektiv building.
Petrohradská kolektiv organizes many cultural events within its complex. All of the residing artists get to attend these events for free.
Within the AiR program, which works in parallel with other events, there’s an opportunity of collaboration with artists and mentors from different cultural backgrounds. The residents can actively participate in various programs of Petrohradská kolektiv.
