Description
Het Wilde Weten is an independent artist initiative in Rotterdam providing artist studios, a public platform for contemporary art, culture, discussion and debate, and an Artist in Residency program.
The residency provides Dutch and International artists with the opportunity to develop their practice in a studio building amongst 16 active artists. With our residency program, we aim to promote cultural exchange by connecting practices from diverse backgrounds.
We provide support for our guests by connecting them with artists, curators or other cultural agents working in their field. But keep in mind that Het Wilde Weten is not an institution but an artist-run space. All of its members are artists themselves and contribute to the residency and public programs on a voluntary base. Within the first weeks upon arrival, we will organise a welcome dinner where the new guest(s) artist(s) are invited to give an artist talk to introduce themselves to fellow HWW members and the Rotterdam art scene.
Outcome
Guest artists may propose a public event in the project space, which can take place upon discussion.
Accommodation Information
The guest artist lives and works on the first floor and has access to a 30 m2 studio that is furnished with a chair, loft bed, refrigerator, wardrobe and a large table. There is a private shower and a shared toilet adjacent to the studio. Downstairs is a communal kitchen; on the second floor is a coffee corner. The guest artist is provided with a bicycle and an internet connection. Due to fire safety regulations, we can only accept individual artists living in the building.
The Guest studio is for living and working.
Location
