Description
KuBa: kulturbahnhof is an independent non-profit art project. With their Artist in Residence program, they want to create a specific space for inspiration, dialogue and cooperation, open to the challenges of our time.
KuBa: kulturbahnhof is located on the site of a former train station in the town of Klein Warnow (Brandenburg), on the Berlin-Hamburg railway. The residency program offers artists, writers and cultural scientists a place to work, create and experiment. The interaction with this unique location is an essential element of the project.
The vision of KuBa is to create within this space a place that inspires one's own work, and invites artists to interact with one another and the place itself. KuBa – Art Residency is an artist initiative without public funding. It is still a young project that constantly develops with and by the visitors of the residency. We invite artists, writers, and persons engaged in other fields of the cultural sector to contribute to this process.
The residency begins with a one-day methodical training which focuses on self-management and on the specification of personal goals that the participants wish to achieve during their stay. A one-time coaching session can be arranged if required.
Outcome
Exhibition or project presentations are offered at the end of the stay.

Location
KuBa: kulturbahnhof is located in the disused train station of the town Klein Warnow. The station property and several other buildings in the village are under heritage protection. The site offers tranquility, but is part of a small neighborly community which has resided in this area for generations. The unique location of KuBa: kulturbahnhof enables the participants to embrace the charm of a somewhat abandoned area (the nearest major town, Grabow, is seven kilometers away). This remoteness coincides with the remarkable spirit of the station as a place of arrival, departure and encounters. This liveliness is maintained by the trains that pass occasionally. KuBa: kulturbahnhof can be easily arrived at from Berlin or Hamburg by public transportation. We are happy to help in finding a suitable connection.
