Since 2020, Residence NRW⁺ has awarded four twelve-month scholarships for visual artists and four six-month scholarships for curators every year. The four programmatic core elements of exchange, practice, mentoring and networking offer the best possible conditions for further development in the respective field of work. Curatorial projects are realized or newly created artistic works are shown in changing collaborations with museums, art galleries and art associations throughout NRW.
As a cooperation partner, the Kunsthalle Bielefeld is the first exhibition venue in the 2024/2025 scholarship year, with a project by the residence curators Kristina Grigorjeva and Undine Rietz.
The exhibition HYLE¹ in the foyer of the Kunsthalle Bielefeld examines the connection between temporality and material. Which materials form the inventory of our shared and individual stories? And how do these materials shape our collective futures? As part of the NRW⁺ residency, Kristina Grigorjeva and Undine Rietz are developing a two-part exhibition dedicated to these questions, which will present artistic positions in both the Kunsthalle Bielefeld and the Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen.
