Description
KiK ('Kunst in Kolderveen') is located in former dairy factory 'De Venen' in Kolderveen, which is in the province of Drenthe. For different periods of time, artists coming from various disciplines, are taking part in the Artist in Residence programme, by living and working at KiK. Based on a project proposal, contemporary national and international artists are invited to participate in the AIR programme.
An open, adventurous mentality characterizes KiK. The same spirit is reflected in choosing candidates for the AIR program. The industrial space and its environment require enterprising and independent artists who will value a concentrated stay in a very quiet place. The village of Kolderveen consists all in all, of a single street.
KiK and the artist(s) in residence take on an added responsibility to show the result of their work period in a presentation. The nature of the presentation will be decided upon together with the artistic leader. The artist must also undertake a public activity, such as giving a work shop, a reading or lecture.
