Kunstraum LLC Curator-in-Residence 2022-2023

Kunstraum LLC is a gallery and artist hub in Clinton Hill, near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Kunstraum was founded in 2015 and consists of an interdisciplinary team of artists, curators, and architects who are committed to promoting new art and outstanding exhibition concepts with established and emerging artists.

Open call: Curator-in-Residence 2022-2023
The CIR is responsible for directing the gallery programming at Kunstraum for 10 months. During the residency, they will have the opportunity to present their position through two curated exhibitions - Kunstraum’s annual members’ show, followed by an independent exhibition of their own. In addition, the CIR will lend their support to two guest curator projects with the help of Kunstraum’s team.

The CIR is expected to tap pre-existing relationships to press, foundations, art fairs, curators, and collectors to provide additional support and resources to the independent show. The Kunstaum annual members’ show will be at Kunstraum’s gallery space in Brooklyn. It is hoped that the CIR’s independent show could be located at a venue in Manhattan, and that the CIR will devote energy and resources to locating a venue for the show.
