At Kulturfabrik, we believe that artistic exploration requires time to develop ideas and personal expression, leading to a deeper artistic language that can have a lasting societal impact. Bold exploration needs space, not pressure. It should not be tied to market value or solely measured by the final result. Squatfabrik challenges the logic of return on investment by providing a space for open experimentation and research for artists in residence. Whether subtly questioning, boldly provoking, or implicitly challenging norms, Squatfabrik exists as a place where artists can break conventional rules, recognizing that art, society, and politics are deeply interconnected.
Squatfabrik invites us to explore how imagination, creativity, and art can reshape the spaces we inhabit and, at its best, facilitate the materialisation of utopian visions. The artistic projects at Squatfabrik challenge all of us – artists, cultural workers, activists, and members of civil society – to question our habits and ecosystems, providing tools to rethink our behaviours and relationships with one another and the natural world. By opening new perspectives, Squatfabrik helps us develop new ways of seeing, feeling, and thinking.
The GET OUT, which marks the end of each Squatfabrik residency. It's the moment when the audience can experience, discover and discuss the work - or the reflection of work - made during the residency month.
For this first Squatfabrik with Raphaël Adams & Ren Loren Britton, the Get Out will take place on MAY 2nd, in the Galerie Terres Rouges at 6:30pm.
