The project ‘PILOTENKUECHE’ is an international art program based in Germany´s new art capital Leipzig, Germany. Hidden in an old romantic factory, the independent project is organized by artists for artists with the aim to foster the visibility for foreign perspectives and connect.
Amongst the international group of artists, but also to the city with its rich historical and contemporary opportunities. We provide artists with a base to work from and act as a first conduit to the local art scene. In the international residency program, we invite selected artists from around the world as well as selected local participants from Leipzig to work, think, and exhibit together. In our International Internship Program, we invite creatives from all over the world to get to know the back office of an cultural institution.
In our curatorial residency we invite selected emerging curators to gain more work experience by diving into the art work of international artists.
During the 3 months period, our concept strives to create a communal space for experimental collaboration and discourse between participants, as well as with the greater Leipzig community.
