Independent Class

The Culterim | Independent Class is a class group with an accompanying curriculum. The focus is on the development, experimentation and expansion of the 12-15 participants' own artistic practice. For the duration of the class, each participant has their own workspace in our Culterim | Studios. In addition to their own work, exchange and reflection are focused on and practiced. The students' own change of perspective and courage are encouraged and challenged in group and individual discussions. 

​

The curriculum includes an examination of theoretical aspects of art as well as a wide range of practical hard skills for working as a freelance artist. A special focus of the program is to convey and get to know the Berlin art scene. To this end, the class will come into contact and discuss with actors from the independent and commercial scene.

​

The selection of artists for the programme is based on interdisciplinarity, the quality of their artistic work and their personal circumstances. We strive to create a trusting, committed and fruitful environment for emerging artists!

As the highlight of the Culterim | Independent Class, the class plans, curates and produces its own exhibition under the guidance of the Head of Class.
