Ruderal Winter Residency
° Artistic Residency °
¬ 2023 ¬
Where the city is forgotten, the dance between time and space takes on a different rhythm. The Ruderal Residency took place in an abandoned building complex in the middle of winter. Between its concrete winter walls, we invited eight artists to come together reflect, sense and create. It was an invitation to get in touch with the site, oneself and one another. From this process individual or collaborative artistic works emerged. In a public exhibition one week after the residency over 100 people visited the side to get in touch with what was created.
Exploring the cracks of urban landscape
Based in a group of derelict prefabricated buildings in Berlin Alt-Hohenschönhausen, the building complex was once used for refugee housing of the sister states of the GDR. In occupyin the site, we explored the potential of a past vision of housing and recalling the resources of vacancy. The Ruderal Winter residency explored the urban at its margins. 11 artists came together in the middle of winter to temporarily move into an abandoned building complex and create inspired from what they found.
