Description

NEST Art Residency (ICA Yerevan) is developed as an open cross-functional network of people, ideas, and desires. Its Education, Project, and Theory Labs provide a comprehensive set of resources, facilities, and tools for understanding and operating in the contemporary art scene in Armenia and the wider global art contexts. Offering on-demand services in all stages of multiscale and multi-format project production Project Lab delivers consulting, guidance, creative management assistance, and production.

Institute of Contemporary Art launched its Project Lab initiative, [NɛST] community center and residency cluster for artists, curators, theatre directors and choreographers, filmmakers, art critics, art historians as well as interdisciplinary theorists and researchers interested in a wide range of subjects including but not limited to:

  • community design
  • music and sound art
  • filmmaking and film studies
  • architecture & urban studies
  • social archeology and narratives
  • contemporary dance and performance
  • time-banking and other forms of non-fiscal social sustainability
  • artifacts as social, cultural, virtual and biofacts, artifacts as errors
