For this residency program the IBB is looking for visual artists that feel attracted to a more rural and basic surrounding – opposite to for instance ‘the big city’ and well constructed societies – and therefore dares to challenge him or herself with a surrounding that doesn’t have an answer for everything. Our institute is constructed around our young talents that follow our orientation course. The residency is primarily an atelier where the artist is expected to make new work. Aside of this interaction with the students is desired in a way that approaches the master-apprentice relationship. Be this through workshops, series of lectures or another form.

The current deadline for applications is MARCH 21, 2024

Burning rubber and impermanent life

I experienced the residency at the IBB in Curacao as fascinating but also as quite harsh and spicy. It’s not that light happy Caribbean atmosphere people may think it is, but more like Rotterdam Kruiskade. So I felt quite at home. Rotterdam! A combination of different factors made me think about how to spend my […]
