Concept:
The goal of this project is to provide residence
for three NYAA alumni in Berlin. The work produced during this residency will included
together the three NYAA residents, two other NYAA alumni living in Berlin (Peter
Simon Mühlhäußer and Amber Sena), and 5 Graduates from the Kunsthochschule
Weißensee in a selected group showing.
The exhibition will be held during the
well-known „Gallery Weekend“ at the end of April 2013 and will take place at a
Pavillon in Gertrud Kolmar Str.14 right beside the US- Embassy and in close
proximity to the Brandenburger Gate, the Holocaust Memorial and the Tiergarten.
This location is as well in close range of the main Berlin gallery districts of
Auguststrasse.

This residency will provide exposure for the 10 exhibited emerging artists, along with
the cultural exchange and interaction between the two Art Institutes. The
general focus of this project is the artistic merge of the New York and Berlin
Artworld.

This committee along with their partner Yinon
Cohen, will provide studio spaces at Katzbachstraße for the three artists in
residence and their basic housing needs.
The committee will organize the exhibition in
the Pavillion and produce a printed calalog for it.
Schedule for the Residence:
The three-month residency will run from
mid-February until the beginning of May. It will include a 1,500 sq ft Studio
space and basic living for the three NYAA residents at Katzbachstraße 18
location in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The work produced by the artists during this time
will be exhibited for three weeks at the Pavilion location at
Gertrud-Kolmar-Str. 14 (on the corner of Hannah-Arendt-Straße).
The housing will be provided within an apartment
above the resident studios at the Katzbachstr. The Apartment will only provide
free basic housing. (If more than basic needs for simple housing is requested
by the selected residents, the committee will help with finding suitable
accommodation at the lowest price possible.) The Organization will help provide
for special needs and support if necessary.
The location of the Studio is in
Berlin-Kreuzberg, which is a new artist neighborhood in the city’s center.
There are shops, bars and cafes within walking distance, and a good connection
