Situated on the
second floor of the Frankfurter Kunstverein, the residency is an apartment facility and a work and living space for international artists,
curators and art mediators. The idea is to integrate the residents into the program of Frankfurter
Kunstverein and into the cultural life of the city of Frankfurt. Cultural
exchange, artistic production and education are the centre of this very special
initiative.
The stay of the
residents vary between three weeks up to ten weeks. The Program enables
artists, curators or mediators to do research or realise a project with the
focus on the city of Frankfurt
and/ or that is connected with an institution in Frankfurt. The
participation on the program is by invitation or application.

The Deutsche Börse
Residency Program represents a major challenge for the future of the
Frankfurter Kunstverein. It establishes the institution not only as a place to
see contemporary art, but moreover as a production site where one can get a
better understanding of the importance of contemporary cultural production. In
this connection, the institution becomes a force field: a place to see, to
listen to ideas and arguments as well as a laboratory from where we can
contribute to the development of new forms of understanding culture nowadays.
