Residenzpflicht: Abschlussveranstaltung eines Kunstprojekts mit Benedikt Stoll

Die Idee hinter dem Projekt ist beeindruckend: Was passiert, wenn zehn Künstlerinnen und Künstler jeweils einen Monat lang in einem Wohncontainer auf dem Gelände von Berliner Unterkünften für Geflüchtete verbringen, dort leben und arbeiten? Wer beobachtet wen, was entwickelt sich zwischen den Kunstschaffenden und den hier Lebenden? Die Künstlerinnengruppe msk7 vergab seit 2019 Stipendien, mit jedem Stipendiaten, jeder Stipendiatin zog der mobile Wohn-Atelier-Raum zu einer anderen Unterkunft um.

Jetzt findet das Stipendienprogramm „Residenzpflicht“ seinen Abschluss. Am Freitag, 21. Oktober, 17 Uhr, präsentiert der Berliner Künstler und Architekt Benedikt Stoll – er ist der zehnte Stipendiat –, was er in seinem Künstler-Container-Monat in der Unterkunft für Geflüchtete in Nikolassee erschaffen, was ihn bewegt, was er gemeinsam mit den Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern der Unterkunft entwickelt hat. Im wahrsten Sinne hat diese zehnte Residenz Raum geschaffen. Denn Benedikt Stoll initiierte zusammen mit Interessierten ein „Agora Komitee“ – im alten Griechenland war die Agora der zentrale Fest- und Versammlungsplatz einer Gemeinde. Das Projekt war erfolgreich, aus dem „Agora Komitee“ wurde der „Social Club“: „Ein brachliegender Gemeinschaftsraum wurde aufgetan und unter der Regie von Benedikt Stoll nach Wünschen der Bewohner umgestaltet“, heißt es auf der Website des Kunstprojekts.

Lernen Sie den Social Club kennen. Während der Abschlussveranstaltung wird der neue Ort der Bewohnerschaft eingeweiht. Die Adresse der Agora in Nikolassee klingt etwas technokratisch – Raum A.01.26. Sie finden die Modulare Unterkunft für Geflüchtete Am Beelitzhof unweit des S-Bahnhofs Nikolassee. Die Veranstaltung ist kostenfrei und öffentlich zugänglich.

Finale of the scholarship programme for artists in modular accommodation for refugees in Berlin.

21 October, 5 pm
MUF Am Beelitzhof, 14129 Berlin / Steglitz-Zehlendorf (Nikolassee)

The RESIDENZPFLICHT scholarship programme will come to an end with a public event on Friday, 21 October 2022. The 10th artist-in-residence, the artist and architect Benedikt Stoll (*1988, lives in Berlin), will present the results of his one-month residency in the accommodation for refugees in Berlin-Nikolassee. During his stay there, he initiated an “AGORA COMMITTEE” from among the residents and accompanied the implementation of projects proposed by this group.
www.benediktstoll.eu

With their project, RESIDENZPFLICHT [mandatory residence requirement], the artists’ group msk7 has, since 2019, offered ten grant awards of individual month-long residencies to international artists with the opportunity to work inside of refugee accommodation compounds in Berlin. Inviting temporary approaches and developments of contemporary art, the programme aimed to bring a diverse spectrum of practitioners to these otherwise typically closed-off residence compounds. The selected artists lived in a mobile studio that has been installed at a different compound for each of the residencies, where it was placed in a central location of each of the ten nearly identical refugee compounds. Due to the pandemic, the second part of the project was only realised this year after an interruption in 2020 and 2021. While the topic of flight was largely pushed out of the public consciousness by the pandemic in previous years, it has gained renewed relevance this year due to the war in Ukraine.

The projects of the participating artists were mainly process-oriented and changed during the residencies with the actual conditions found on site. Some of the projects were and will be continued and developed after the four-week residency. In summer 2023, all ten projects and their further development will be presented together in an exhibition at Schloss Biesdorf, the municipal gallery in Berlin / Marzahn-Hellersdorf.

The stays in the highly exposed, minimalist residential studio were described by the scholarship holders as very intensive and were determined by a constant examination of themes such as strangeness, being observed and being an observer. In the course of the project, it became clear that the special quality of the scholarships consisted in creating unexpected points of contact between the scholarship holders and the residents. Personal encounters, mutual sympathy and understanding with and through art stood in the field of tension between expectations, wishes, uncertainties and boundaries such as language barriers and a largely regulated everyday life in the accommodation.

The five RESIDENZPFLICHT fellows of 2022 were Patrick Timm (*1979, lives in Iden), Jorn Ebner (*1966, lives in Berlin), Claudio Beorchia (*1979, lives in Treviso, Italy), Pascal Mayet (*1980, lives in Copenhagen) and Benedikt Stoll (*1988, lives in Berlin). Their projects included setting up a real post office (followed by the personal delivery of a letter to Iran without a specific address), exploring the accommodation or its surroundings with the help of drawing or sound, investigating social structures and unfamiliar perspectives using the example of playing hide-and-seek, or initiating formats of participation for the residents.

In 2019, the five RESIDENZPFLICHT fellows were Manaf Halbouni (*1984, lives in Dresden), Andreea Chirica (*1978, lives in Bucharest), Simone Bailey (*1982, lives in San Francisco), Albrecht Fersch (*1970, lives in Berlin) and Sebastian Acker (*1981, lives in Berlin). Their artistic projects ranged from temporary sculptural installations and recordings in graphic novel format to a poetic work of music, research on “nothingness”, and a green screen enabling participation through film and photo shootings.

About RESIDENZPFLICHT

For the art project, ten of the so-called Modular Residency Compounds for Refugees (MUF) in Berlin will be extended by an additional mobile unit – a temporary construction trailer converted into a habitable studio. The trailer serves as a living and working space for the respective artist-in-residence and is connected to one of the regular housing units for access to its sanitary facilities and communal kitchen. Despite this specific context, which at first may appear unusual, msk7 understands the accessibility of contemporary art as a social invitation; meanwhile, the realisation of participatory art projects with refugees is not the main focus. The experience of each artist residency will be relayed publicly through a blog, an artist talk and a closing event on site. Each selected artist receives a fee of 2,000 euros and up to 1,000 euros to cover material and travel expenses. A mandatory residence requirement will apply.

From 205 international applications, an expert jury – consisting of Mona Babl (msk7), Lilian Engelmann (management ngbk Berlin), Kati Gausmann (msk7), Veronike Hinsberg (sculptor, Berlin), Ricarda Mieth (msk7), Sabine Sanio (UDK Berlin, sound studies), Anja Sonnenburg (msk7) – selected ten artists in an initially anonymous selection procedure.

RESIDENZPFLICHT is a project of msk7. The proposal received the second prize, along with an implementation recommendation, in the Berlin-wide art-in-architecture open competition for modular refugee housing, awarded by the State of Berlin under the aegis of the Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing (Department V) in coordination with the State Office for Refugee Affairs.

msk7 is Mona Babl, Kati Gausmann, Ricarda Mieth and Anja Sonnenburg.

RESIDENZPFLICHT – Aufenthaltsstipendien für Künstler*innen in Modularen Unterkünften für Flüchtlinge in Berlin

Die Künstlerinnengruppe msk7 vergibt seit 2019 in ihrem Projekt RESIDENZPFLICHT zehn Stipendien für einmonatige Arbeitsaufenthalte in Berliner Flüchtlingsunterkünften an internationale Künstler*innen. Ziel des Programms ist es, die in sich geschlossenen Flüchtlingsunterkünfte temporär für Ansätze und Entwicklungen zeitgenössischer Kunst zu öffnen. Die Stipendiat*innen sind in einem mobilen Wohnatelier untergebracht, das mit jeder Residenz den Standort wechselt und in jeder der zehn nahezu baugleichen Unterkünfte für Geflüchtete zentral platziert wird. Durch die Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung des Sars-CoV-2-Virus wurde der Projektverlauf unterbrochen. Die Planungen für die Wiederaufnahme des Projektes im Frühjahr 2021 sind nun abgeschlossen.

Am Samstag, den 19. September 2020, präsentiert sich das Projekt RESIDENZPFLICHT auf dem Ko-Markt, dem Tag der offenen Tür der Pioniernutzungen im Haus der Statistik.
Ort: Pförtnerloge Haus D, Otto-Braun-Straße 70/72, 10178 Berlin

Rückblick

2019 waren die ersten fünf RESIDENZPFLICHT-Stipendiat*innen Manaf Halbouni (*1984, lebt in Dresden), Andreea Chirica (*1978, lebt in Bukarest), Simone Bailey (*1982, lebt in San Francisco), Albrecht Fersch (*1970, lebt in Berlin) und Sebastian Acker (*1981, lebt in Berlin). Die Bandbreite ihrer künstlerischen Projekte reichte von temporären skulpturalen Installationen über Aufzeichnungen im Comicformat, einem kollektiv produzierten Musikstück, Recherchen zum Thema Nichts bis hin zu einem partizipatorischen Angebot für Aufnahmen vor einem Green Screen. Die ersten fünf Residenzen haben gezeigt, dass vor allem die Offenheit des Projekts für Künstler*innen und Bewohner*innen gleichermaßen eine Herausforderung darstellt. Die vierwöchigen Aufenthalte wurden von den Stipendiat*innen jeweils als sehr intensiv wahrgenommen und waren insbesondere von persönlichen Begegnungen und vielen scheinbar nebensächlichen Momenten geprägt. Neben der individuellen Arbeit an den eigenen Projekten waren die Erfahrungen der Stipendiat*innen auch bestimmt von der stetigen Auseinandersetzung mit Themen wie Fremdheit, beobachtet werden und Beobachter*in sein.

Der Flieger ist gelandet

MarzahnNordWest. Vier Wochen baute der syrisch-deutsche Künstler Manaf Halbouni in der Gemeinschaftsunterkunft an der Wittenberger Straße an seinem „Traum-Flugzeug“. Es hatte nur einen Flügel, Symbol dafür, dass es real nie abheben würde. Nun hat es sich doch bewegt und ist auf dem Abenteuerspielplatz West gelandet.

RESIDENZPFLICHT – Invitation to the artist talk with Manaf Halbouni at the end of the 1st Residence

24 May 2019, 5 pm
MUF Wittenberger Straße 16, 12689 Berlin, Germany

With his works frequently presented in public space, the German-Syrian artist Manaf Halbouni (b. 1984, lives in Dresden) refers to current socio-political themes. In conversation with the artists of msk7, he reviews the time of his stay and explains his flying object “The Flying Dreams”, which he has built for RESIDENZPFLICHT.
www.manaf-halbouni.com

RESIDENZPFLICHT is a project of the artist group msk7 and is financed by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe and the Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing. For the art project, ten Modular Accommodations for Refugees (MUFs) in Berlin will be extended alternately and temporarily by a mobile module in which ten international scholarship holders will live and work for one month. The aim of the project is to temporarily open the self-contained refugee shelters to approaches and developments in contemporary art.

“RESIDENZPFLICHT formulates questions in relation to the alienness that can be posed and linked in many ways – the alien between the art-loving and the non-artist public, the alien between residents in the neighbourhood and the refugees, the alien between the one-month guest and the longer-term residents in the accommodation,” states the artists group msk7.

RESIDENZPFLICHT – Scholarships for Artist’s Residence Project in Berlin Refugee Accommodation

In their project RESIDENZPFLICHT, the artist group msk7 is awarding ten grants for one-month residences in Berlin refugee shelters to international artists. For the years 2019 and 2020, five artist-in-residence projects will be realized from May to September at a total of ten locations in Berlin. The programme aims to use a diverse spectrum of artistic positions to temporarily open up the self-contained refugee shelters to approaches and developments in contemporary art. Everyday points of contact between artists and refugees should stimulate an exchange of culturally different ideas and views on site and beyond the accommodation’s boundaries. Regardless of the location, which at first may appear unusual, access to contemporary art is understood as a social offer; the realisation of participatory art projects with refugees is not the main focus.

For the art project, ten Modular Accommodations for Refugees (MUF) in Berlin will be extended alternately and temporarily by an additional mobile module – a construction trailer converted into a habitable studio. This serves as a living and working space for the scholarship holders and is connected to a housing unit, whose sanitary facilities and communal kitchen are used. The experience of each scholarship will be shown through a blog, an artist talk and a closing event on site. Each scholarship is endowed with a fee component of 2,000 euros and a maximum of 1,000 euros to cover the cost of material and travel expenses. A mandatory residence requirement will apply.

From 205 international applications an expert jury – consisting of Mona Babl (msk7), Lilian Engelmann (management ngbk Berlin), Kati Gausmann (msk7), Veronike Hinsberg (sculptor, Berlin), Ricarda Mieth (msk7), Sabine Sanio (UDK Berlin, sound studies), Anja Sonnenburg (msk7) – selected ten artists in an initially anonymous selection procedure: Sebastian Acker (* 1981, lives in Berlin), Simone Bailey (* 1982, lives in San Francisco), Claudio Beorchia (* 1979, lives in Treviso), Andreea Chirica (* 1978, lives in Bucharest), Albrecht Fersch (* 1970, lives in Berlin), Manaf Halbouni (* 1984, lives in Dresden), Rola Khayyat (* 1982, lives in New York), Pascal Mayet (* 1980, lives in Copenhagen), Benedikt Stoll (* 1988, lives in Berlin) and Patrick Timm (* 1979, lives in Berlin).

RESIDENZPFLICHT is a project of msk7. The proposal received the 2nd prize, along with an implementation recommendation, in the Berlin-wide art-in-architecture open competition for modular refugee housing, awarded by the State of Berlin under the aegis of the Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing (Department V) in coordination with the State Office for Refugee Affairs.

RESIDENZPFLICHT is financed by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe as well as the Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing.

msk7 are Mona Babl, Kati Gausmann, Ricarda Mieth and Anja Sonnenburg.
