The Borderland Residencies 2022 concluded in a special project: an art box that features multiples from all 12 artists - including a digital version
Closing of BR 22/23
It’s a wrap: BR 2022 closes with a get-together and presentation of the residency projects in Düsseldorf
Day Trip to Cologne
The Borderland group was confronted with two very different approaches on exhibiting art. With “Grüne Moderne”, the current show at Museum Ludwig, and the annual art fair ArtCologne, the extremes could not have been any more evident
Day Trip to Maastricht
Border crossers, frontier runners, cross-border commuters – however you want to call the Borderland residents, here is what they do: They live, they work, and they get inspired in an EuRegion where metropolises and rural areas, plain river deltas and soft hills lie right next to each other
Field Trip: Art and Underground
The coal that is extracted in the Rhine area originates from plants that grew there 5 to 25 million years ago. It can teach us a lot about what our planet looked like all those millions of years ago. And it determines what it has come to look like today
Field Trip: Art and Freedom
2022 seems to be a year of on-going crisis: the continuing COVID 19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, an imminent energy shortage and the growing threat of climate change hold the potential to change our ways of life for good. What role will art and the cultural sector play in a world of changing values and endangered democratic freedom?
Opening weekend BR 22/23
Home-made pavement soup, a heliport in the middle of Venlo and art enthusiasts cycling and prowling around the city: the opening of the Borderland Residencies 2022 was a colourful and enjoyable festivity.
JOINT FINAL PROJECT 21/22
Due to the ongoing effects of the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing measures, the first cohort opted for a catalogue. In addition, follow-up residencies were awarded
Digital Finissage
After three eventful months of field trips, workshops, art market insights, the Borderland Residencies 2021 come to an end. But it is not a “goodbye” – think of it more as a “see you soon”.
