Glogauair 4.2

GlogauAIR is a non-profit organization where artists from diverse social and geographical backgrounds find a place to develop their works in a dynamic environment of coexistence, exchange of ideas and internationalization. At the same time they get to know a new culture and landscape in Berlin, getting influences from the city, which has became a pioneer place for contemporary culture.

GlogauAIR was founded by the Spanish artist Chema Alvargonzález in 2006 with the intention to create a meeting point between artists from all disciplines to work in collaboration, expanding their practice in terms of materials, formats and style.

The processes are shown every three months in an open studios exhibition where the public can see the works of the resident artists in a relaxed and festive event. Parallel to the Residency Programme and the open studios we organise activities and exchange projects in collaboration with other institutions such as Videoart, Sound Art or Performance Festivals, exhibitions or artist presentations, where we invite local public, art lovers and professionals.

Artists from all artistic disciplines (installation, video art, net.art, sculpture, creative writing, architecture, electronic music, painting, drawing, performance, photography, etc.) are invited to come as far as their project fits with our installations.

Fourth times a year the artists can apply with a project for a residency for three or six months.The applications are evaluated by a jury formed by professionals from the Berlin art community. Moreover, some artists are selected and granted by different institutions in their home countries, with which we have collaboration agreements.
