Organised by the contemporary art non-profit basis, the aim of this curatorial residency programme, which will take place 1 February – 31 March 2024, is to introduce new international perspectives to the local art community, enhancing curatorial research, exchange and discourse in Frankfurt. Resident curators are provided time and space to develop a curatorial programme by researching and connecting with different artists and elaborating a final exhibition concept. The exhibition will be on view from the middle of September until the middle of October 2024. The period in between the stay and the exhibition time should also be used to further develop and finalise the exhibition.
Studio visits and meetings with professionals in Frankfurt are an important part of the programme. Networking opportunities will be offered. A public lecture or workshop can be held during the residency.
