About

With its rich history and fabled openness to artists and intellectuals of all descriptions, Berlin not only occupies a central position in European and global politics, economics and education—it remains a place of vital cultural exploration. Centred on a 110 m² studio space in the heart of Kreuzberg, Nightworks invites up to four artists each year to participate in a residency lasting between three and six months. The programme encourages dialogue between local and international perspectives, welcoming artists from Berlin, wider Germany, across Europe and further afield. The residency provides artists with time, space and sustained attention, alongside mentorship, curatorial feedback, critical dialogue and consultation around professional development. Open to artists at any stage of their careers—established, emerging or recently graduated—Nightworks creates room for experimentation beyond the immediate demands of exhibition and market cycles. Drawing upon a broad range of experience, the project also develops meaningful relationships with collectors, writers, journalists, gallerists, institutions and other artists in the city. Within this landscape, residents encounter a community shaped by diverse perspectives and approaches, fostering dialogue, research and sustained artistic development.
