Registration for the Res Artis Meeting in Copenhagen now open! Registration for the next Res Artis Meeting in Copenhagen is now open! The meeting âPrepare for Production: On Residencies and Artistic Productionâ will be hosted by Danish Art Workshops (DAW) and FABRIKKEN / The Factory of Art and Design in Copenhagen, Denmark from 25-27 October 2017. With the recent expansion of arts residencies all over the globe, how can residency operators meet the challenge of providing adequate production facilities and infrastructure to artists? How do production needs differ between artforms? And how can we encourage artists in residence to strike a balance between production and experience? This 3 day Res Artis Meeting will address these questions by proposing innovative solutions based on concepts of pooling resources, co-working spaces and fab-labs. The discussion will result in better production conditions for artists and encourage non-monetary alternatives and greater interaction between local arts and non-arts organisations.
Early bird registration ends on 14 July. Secure your spot and sign up for the meeting now. We hope to see you in Copenhagen!
