Grant we will bring together six risky thinkers/makers willing to 
expand the use of art and curation. With the idea of looking out from 
an art perspective, we will explore through the Program how art 
practices can enrich and provide practical uses to education. Node is 
a private self-funded institution, with our desire to develop and 
expand art practice we are providing this residency cost-free. In 
addition Node will grant each participant 900 euros to assist in 
covering their living expenses.

The Program will be held in Berlin, Germany, focusing on art-thinking 
rather than the art-object, applying the possibilities of art to 
education in other fields. By art-thinking, we are referring to 
strategies of knowledge that question the everyday, using intuitive, 
creative and poetic approaches to find different access points or 
pathways to known topics.

For a two-month period we will work intensively through brainstorming 
sessions, research, adventures and experimentation. There is no set 
final outcome to the Program, we will instead collaborate together to 
develop imaginative manuals or strategic guides. It will be a 
hands-on program!

Node Center is an art organization focused on curatorial practice. We 
work to expand and challenge the current limits of art and curation 
to stimulate different ways of approaching these practices. During 
the past three years we have held eight curatorial residencies which 
drew together groups of curators to provide basic practical and 
theoretical skills. Each residency resulted in an exhibition and 
publication. We also have an ever-growing platform of online courses, 
bringing together participants worldwide. Now we take it a step 
further with the
