Description

51Cth is an artist-run association dedicated to keeping the sculptural and contemporary art field thriving and evolving. 51Cth is located in an large old industrial complex with common workspaces, and 14 individual artists studios. 51Cth is established in collaboration with the professional bronze caster foundry (Broncestøberiet v. Peter Jensen A/S) with the aim of becoming one of the leading powerhouses in Denmark for working in a sculptural setting, where one has access to the required facilities as well as the professional expertise needed for using them. This takes place in a forum that supports and encourages professional artists to exchange their experience and knowledge with each other in a focused working environment as well as through group critiques, artist talks and similar activities.

51Cth is supported by The Obel Family Foundation and The Islands of Denmarks’ Arts Foundation.

It is 51Cth’s objective to strengthen and further artistic cooperation both within the local arena and internationally. The aim with this residency programme is to facilitate an exchange between 51Cth and the visiting artist to continue in developing a continuous critical, constructive and practice based dialogue within contemporary art.

The residency is first and foremost created to serve as an intensive period for experimenting and realising work while in parallel with this carry on a critical reflection about this in an active studio community.

The facilities of 51Cth is mainly situated in an open workshop environment.

Outcome

While working on your project(s) it is expected that you give a type of informal presentation of your project and/or praxis. Establishing a sense of art creation as something that takes place as an exchange between many different practices is a central part of 51Cth and its members will assist you with everything from getting settled as well as introduction to the workshops, arranging group critiques and other events.
