Timelab is a citylab for new collaborative models of working. Timelab gives examples of small and large-scale change, eliciting dialogue and offering new perspectives. Timelab provides time, space, and reflection for a society in motion. Timelab hosts and initiates an open lab with digital prototyping tools, co-creation projects, artists-in-residencies, hand-on open workshops, lectures and debates, and a co-working space. ‘How Do We Save Time?’ is the name of the AiR program for which Timelab invites a group of 12 internationally-based artists and makers to gather in Ghent from November 18 – 27, 2016 to explore and reflect on current and changing perceptions of time. If time is a malleable, man-made concept, how do we make sense of it? How do we negotiate between different timescales, from the deep time held by fossil fuels and nuclear waste to the quick flight of energy or the lifespan of a human? How do we think about time outside of how it shapes our sense of history, presentness, and futurity? How do different social realities and modes of intersectionality shape our experience of time? And how does the exponentially increasing pace of innovation affect our perception of time? A series of videos posted on the open call website bring individual reflections on time gathered from creators, public figures, and other citizens of Ghent. In addition, a selection of source materials inspired by these different voices hints to the different directions our open-ended inquiry into saving time can unfold. Together, the videos and sources are intended as a point-of-ignition for applicants to formulate their personal brief in response to the prompt ‘How Do We Save Time?’.

Residency programme which operates from April 2011 and hosts international visual artists is independent and flexible: artists, by participating in lectures, presentations and workshops, merge with the local scene while also having time to focus on their own creative practice within a different cultural environment.

Artists have the opportunity to make new contacts at gatherings and social events such as exhibition openings, time to explore and work on their project, and the opportunity to show their project formulated during the residency period.

Townhouse is a nonprofit art space situated in the heart of Downtown Cairo.

On an individual level, the gallery has played a pivotal role in the careers of internationally renowned artists and hosted a number of influential practitioners and curators from abroad.

After its gradual depopulation in the late 1970s, Tsarino disappeared from official maps. In recent years, this small village in the Eastern Rhodopes has been undergoing a gradual revival and has become a site for contemporary art in a rural setting amidst nature. Run by artists and volunteers, the Tsarino Foundation has been organising residencies, exhibitions, and other cultural activities in and around the village for over a decade. The foundation serves as a platform for exchange between the local community, the regional art scene, and the international contemporary art field, while actively restoring and maintaining Tsarino through the renovation of buildings and infrastructure. Great care is taken to remain faithful to the village’s original character and traditions, both in restoration work and in the design of new structures. Tsarino is an evolving and dynamic place. Although largely abandoned for more than forty years, it continues to transform — shaped by the foundation’s activities, the renewed involvement of the local community, and by nature itself, which steadily reclaims the land. Residencies in Tsarino offer artists, writers, and researchers the opportunity to live and work in an abandoned village setting, immersed in nature. Secluded in its own valley and shaped by distinct seasons, the village changes noticeably throughout the year. Staying here provides an authentic experience of the local rural culture and opportunities to interact with the surrounding community. Spending time in Tsarino often means adjusting one’s ways of living and working in response to its changing conditions and daily realities. For the foundation, hosting residencies and living and working alongside artists and volunteers has proven to be a joyful and stimulating way to explore what Tsarino is — and what it might become — both as a place and an idea. Tsarino AiR Group Residency 2026 Over four weeks, the village will become a living laboratory. Up to ten participants will be invited to explore Tsarino through its landscape and its role within the surrounding local community, using both as sources of inspiration and material to develop new work. One will find mossy stone walls, abandoned ruins and relics of the communist era, forests and fields, memories and stories, old and new spring-fed chesmas (drinking fountains), foragers and visiting neighbours, owls and tortoises, and countless cow paths leading one to unexpected places.

Since the Bureau was established, and the Tourism Bureau was set up under the Tainan City Government, the affairs in regard to tourism originally under the governance of the Tainan County Government Cultural Affairs Bureau have been put under the charge of the Tourism Bureau. The Tsung-Yeh Artist Village in Tainan City is the result of the fusion of an old sugar refinery with multicultural ideas to form a unique space. With years of effort, Tsung-Yeh Artist Village has established itself as a center for arts, crafts and culture while producing valuable creative works in Tainan. Through providing the working space and encouraging resident artists to communicate with the locals, we hope to promote this historical site not simply as a place for exhibitions, but rather an important gathering site for international arts and artists. Tsung-Yeh Arts and Cultural Center takes the concept of ‘Site-Specific Art’ as its theme for the AIR program in 2021 . Artists shall create works before observing the following contexts: hydrology of Tseng-wen River (including river basin and water management system), physiography (archaeological studies, soil, meteorology, or topographical variations), ecology (aquatic, amphibian, and terrestrial fauna and flora in the area), humanities (indigenous, agricultural, river-related, or ecology-related culture).

Set in the city of Tartu, UNESCO’s Creative Cities of Literature 2019, and the upcoming European Capital of Culture 2024, the residency will provide artists with the time and space for new projects, work and research. This unique residency will offer the opportunity to work within the TYPA Paper and Print Centre, and within the cultural opportunities of the city of Tartu. The project seeks to promote an environment of reflection and community, and supports innovative graphic art practices. 2023 continues to be fully integrated into the facilities and operation of the print and paper art studio. They are looking for artists to bring fresh perspectives and ways of working with the equipment. They are looking for both experienced printmakers and artists with their own practices, whether that be new media, sculpture, audio-artists, painters etc. Artists need to apply with a project plan – something which responds to the location, whether this be TYPA, Tartu or Estonia. They can offer a wide range of printmaking practices (etching, relief, screenprinting and more), dark-room photography, bookbinding and support for the artist to develop their own projects. Due to limited resources, they can only offer letterpress to artists already working in this field. They are particularly excited to receive applications for projects in experimental print, book arts, community collaborations and more. The residency includes a supported public outcome, whether this be a workshop, artist talk or exhibition. They are working with the local university, Pallas, local galleries, the aparaaditehas cultural space and international organisations to connect artists with the creative community of Tartu. In 2023, thanks to the funding, they can offer two types of residencies: Nordic-Baltic Residencies – of which they can host 4 per year, 3 months each. These residencies are open to only artists from Nordic and Baltic countries. Open Access Residencies – of which they can host 4 throughout the year, 2-3 months each. TYPA also offers supported residencies for Ukrainian artists or artists in financial or political insecurity.
