As an institution, Art Hub Copenhagen aims to create networks. The residency actively aims to create and expand the artists’ networks both nationally and internationally.
Focusing on networking, contemplation, and production, Art Hub Residency features a studio, a monthly fee, a production budget, and a programme of development and feedback based on the needs of each artist. The programme features meetings with selected curators/mentors and a programme of visits to selected art institutions in Denmark. As well as the importance of networking, Art Hub Residency provides artists with time for contemplation and/or production. There is no requirement to produce work during the residency the time can thus be tailored to suit the process of each artist. It might involve research and studies, trying out ideas, or actual production. There is also the option of a short stay at the Danish Art Workshops.
Art Hub Residency is both for recently graduated artists and other artists, for whom the residency programme could make a difference in terms of establishing and expanding their practice nationally and internationally. The residency lasts for five months from February to June 2023.
One of the requirements of the programme is that, during their residency, each artist must present their practice, research, work, or project to the public. The form of presentation is up to the artist. It could be a talk, a podcast, a video, a text, a viewing, a performance, or something completely different. We shape and organise the presentations in collaboration with each artist. It is also expected that the residents plan their stay in a way that allows them to spend most of their time at the premises in Copenhagen.
