Squatfabrik is back!
Born out of desire of the Kulturfabrik team to offer practical support to the local arts scene, Squatfabrik is a programme of short arts residencies launched in 2020, in the heart of the global pandemic. The main aim was to show our support and give additional visibility to the local arts scene. Accordingly, every two to three weeks, a new duo or trio of artists took over the old Keramikfabrik ceramics store, at the entrance to the cultural centre. The audience was invited to enter the doors of these temporary workshops and later attend the Get-Out marking the end of each residency. Given the positive response, Squatfabrik has now become a recurring project for the Kulturfabrik, staged in the old Keramikfabrik and in the Galerie Terres Rouges.
2 art recidencies, 4 artists
From 20 September until 14 November 2021, we will bring together 4 emerging mid-career artists for 2 dual residencies: Gola Hundun (IT) + Marc Soisson (DE-LU) and Karolina Pernar (LU) + Josep Fernandez Margalef (SP). A collaboration with the European network Trans Europe Halles was implemented for the selection of the international artists.
The “Get-Out” will take place on the last week of each residency. This will be a presentation (discussions, screenings, workshops and performances...) in which artists can introduce and share their research and work with the public.
