WERKKAMP011 Summer 2011: Artist In Residence Festival
disciplines : Visual arts, performing arts, music, literature, and applied arts
duration of residencies: 1 to 31 July, 2011
description: Scheld'apen is a Belgian cultural youth centre and artistic workplace. Scheld'apen offers young artists the space and support to establish their own cultural and artistic projects. We give priority to starting young groups,
artists and dramatists. We are an open house for public, young people, musicians and artists, without barriers and with the possibility of interaction. We are an art centre with space for artistic experimentation and attention to socially disadvantaged young people. Next to supporting artists in their development we
also program many concerts and parties. Because of last year’s great success, we will be organizing ‘Werkkamp011 (work camp011)’ for the second time this summer.
Werkkamp011 is an art festival that has its focus on processes, creation and the artistic development of young (18-26) visual artists, musicians and dramatists as well as writers and designers, product developers…you name it. This will take place from the 1st until the 31st of July in fort8, an old fort build in the late 19th century. The arsenal, the lodging, the hallways and the gunpowder rooms will all be occupied by artists and collectives. This means we have room for over 30 people (!) to create new work, build installations, to be inspired and to expand their network. The courtyard will be used as an open air stage, a restaurant and as a meeting spot.
For this festival we invite artists to build new work, to research, to present their work and to look at what others are doing. We are here to bring artists together and to challenge and inspire them whilst actively supporting and promoting them.
We will give you a space to work, provide for catering, logistics and off course: public. Next to our silkscreen workshop, our recording studio and rehearsal rooms, we will also provide tools and writing workshops. There will be theatre, music and cinema, dancing and so on…
For one month Scheld’apen and Werkkamp011 will be functioning as a production house and open stage.
Every weekend we will open the gates to welcome the public for concerts, expositions, try-outs and low budget dining and drinking,
This year Antwerp will be Europe’s new youth capital and we want werkkamp011 to be a big part of this and therefore we reach out to you, the foreign artist.
For a taste of the atmosphere and our infrastructure, we invite you to take a look at our website (http://www.scheldapen.be/?action=media&albumid=1622) and look up Werkkamp010 on Youtube.
A list of its former residents can be found here: http://www.scheldapen.be/?
