Collaborations with international artists
For a number of years, Hotel Pro Forma offered international artists a unique opportunity to work in our studio in Copenhagen in periods of 6-8 weeks.
Artists worked with Hotel Pro Forma’s team
In earlier years, the artists were hand picked to develop, create and display their own interdisciplinary works with us. Later on, Hotel Pro Forma’s Artist Residencies provided a common ground for artists and Hotel Pro Forma’s team to work together on various projects.
Together we created artistic innovation
By mutually inspiring and challenging each other, important knowledge about artistic tools and approaches was shared. We believe that this was an important means to continuously open up new opportunities and creating artistic innovation for both parties – and for putting it on to the entire artistic field as well.
Works were always put on display
The ambition was to create innovative, genre-breaking works of art that were exceptionally challenging and touching, both for the artists ourselves and for our audiences. Depending on their characteristics, they were displayed at specific events at Hotel Pro Forma’s location or elsewhere in Copenhagen.
Please note: We will not be able to host residencies any longer.
The residencies aimed at professional artists who worked interdisciplinarily
Artists wishing to join Hotel Pro Forma’s residency had to be professional and have proven experience in the development of interdisciplinary projects. We gave priority to applicants who worked in the Science + Art (SCI + ART) field, since it is the basis of a lot of Hotel Pro Forma’s own activities.
Hotel Pro Forma expected the resident artists to be open to cooperating and sharing knowledge with Hotel Pro Forma’s artistic team, including the team of creative interns that worked with us on our productions.
All artists were selected by artistic director Kirsten Dehlholm.
