Pilotenkueche
PILOTENKUECHE Artist Residency
Pilotenkuecheis an Artist Residency Program based on group dynamic. Six-to-eight artists each work on an individual project during a three-to-four month period at Spinnerei in Leipzig, working in their own area within the 300 m2 (900 ft2) communal loft hall.
The three-month working period culminates in a final exhibition, during one of the Spinnerei's Gallery Weekends. The show is a cooperative process between the residents involved. The residency organizers act as mediators and support in planning this, but the general direction, curating and production of the exhibition comes from the residents.
Our philosophy is focused on an interest of exchange and kinetic dialogue about art ideas, approaches and methods practiced in other places and from other individuals. We are fascinated with how they come into practice in our communal working space at the Spinnerei. Pilotenkueche wishes to provide our participants with the experience of accomplishing something as a group; and, moreover, in experimenting with new forms of cooperation vital in fostering an independent position in one's work.
There are three residency periods per year:
February – May
June – September
October – January
Open studio hours: Every Saturday 12pm – 6pm
