A helpdesk for artists? Let’s set the scene! Your project dossier deadline is approaching in a week, you’ve been staring at the format and Excel-sheet for days and the terms ‘policy plan’ and ‘job-specific subcriteria’ make you sweat…

The new season is here, and you know what that means: a brand-new edition of LAFS with work from brand new makers!

Joining us in residency these coming two weeks is writer, advisor and maker Carolina Maciel de França.

Veli Lehtovaara’s residency centers his work on Nature Untitled, a new work in collaboration with visual artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila and sound designer Jani Hietanen.

For two weeks, performer, singer and writer Somalia Williamson works on MOTHER – a collective and multidisciplinary research which explores the mother-figure and its meaning to us.

During his residency, performance artist and researcher Diego Echegoyen works on Invisible Cities (working title).

Antwerp-based interdisciplinary, mixed-media artist Çifel Hüseyin is joining wpZimmer for a two-week residency where he’ll be focussing on Displacing Belongings – a project that strengthens the boundaries of different disciplines as if it is a progress of re-imagining the connection between beings, things, happenings, and the environment we live in together; which then unfolds as an interdisciplinary research process that premises an artistic and creative discovery of the passage of time through interactive, spontaneous and temporary encounters with different personas.

Choreographic artist and performer Marcos Simoes and performer, scenographer and dramaturgist Pauline Brun are joining each other for a residency at wpZimmer for the coming two weeks. During their stay they focus on Tie-Tool where ‘misunderstandings’ are the center piece and thought of think of as something to be considered, something valuable. They see it both as a visual and a choreographic tool more than a subject of work.
