*Open Call for SPECTRAL Expanded Cinema Residency: S.P.A.C.E*

April 2023 – September 2023

SPECTRAL (Spatial, Performative & Expanded Cinematic Transnational 
Research at Artist-run Labs) is a joint project initiated by six such 
labs focusing on a variety of kinds of work with photo-chemical moving 
images. SPECTRAL has been conceived to support the creation and 
dissemination of Expanded Cinematic Art (E.C.A.) and to encourage 
international collaborations to ensure that this kind of artistic 
practice can thrive in the future.

LaborBerlin is a collectively organized film laboratory in Berlin, open 
to everyone interested in working with photo-chemical film with an 
artistic and experimental approach. Our lab provides all necessary 
technical devices and production tools to make films on celluloid base. 
We are a platform for exchange of ideas and experiences around the 
practice of analogue filmmaking. We conduct regular workshops, film 
screenings and exhibitions and are part of a network of artist-run film 
labs around the globe.

*S.P.A.C.E. Artists’ Residency– for Projection Art & Experimentation 
with Celluloid**

 *

Within the framework of the SPECTRAL* project, LaborBerlin** has 
established a new space where artists can work on Expanded Cinema in 
Berlin-Wedding. S.P.A.C.E. is a place for enabling artists to experiment 
with photo-chemical film, light, and sound.

The S.P.A.C.E. residency programme will cater to individual artists 
offering an 8 week-long period in which to carry out their own project 
in the form of a film performance, installation and/ or sculpture.

Technically-speaking, S.P.A.C.E. will make it possible for artists to 
work on their project by providing access to projectors, looping 
devices, screens and sound equipment. The residency is located in Berlin 
at Wiesenstr. 29, on the ground floor, in a space encompassing 77 sq. 
meters. Additionally, participants will receive a 1000 Euro artist's fee 
for their time in residence. Our international artist(s)-in-residence 
will stay in a 1-room flat known as Karussell for the duration of their 
8 weeks. Travel costs of up to 800 Euro are also part of the residency 
to enable artists to come to Berlin. Should a group be granted the 
residency, they will have to share the fee granted as well as the living 
quarters and studio.

The artist will also, in coordination with the LaborBerlin, be able to 
use the organisation’s facilities when they are available, these 
include: a contact printer, Steenbecks, animation stand, optical 
printer, and a large darkroom. To facilitate use of these devices/ 
facilities without undo difficulties, the artist has the possibility of 
having two day-long technical workshops with a LaborBerlin member that 
they arrange in advance. A designated contact person will be available 
to answer the artist’s questions.

*The program offers 3 residency slots:*

01. Apr 2023 until 26. May 2023

29. May 2023 until 23. July 2023

26. July 2023 until 19. Sep 2023

This residency is intended for artists whose work focuses on projects 
involving analogue film.

Each artist will be required, during the residency, to offer a workshop 
on an aspect of his or her speciality in the field of analogue 
film-/performance-art for members of LaborBerlin. At the end of the 
8-week long phase of working at S.P.A.C.E, a public presentation of her/ 
his Expanded Cinema Project is expected. This does not have to be a 
completed project, but may also be a work-in-progress. The results and 
experiences gained during the residency will be relayed to interested 
audiences with the goal of contributing to an archive for contemporaries 
and future generations of artists working in a similar vein. 
Additionally, each artist is required to submit a 1-page-long report and 
photographs documenting what was achieved during the residency.

We are looking for artists who are interested in collective practice and 
exchanging ideas with colleagues while here. We especially encourage 
applications from members of marginalized/ under-represented groups, as 
well as from parents of under-age children. Unfortunately, pets are not 
allowed.

*Applications must arrive by Nov. 6, 2022*
