Discourses
We direct our work along specific research themes that are meant to inspire open discussions.
Like ourselves, our discourses change over time.
Residency
A new, innovative venue offering artistic and research residencies of 2–12 months duration for art production at the interface of urban research opened its doors in summer 2012 in the district of Moabit in Berlin-Mitte, on the edges of Berlin‘s largest inland port, Westhafen.
Current Fellows
ZK/U - Fact Finding Committee #2: Heterotopic Places Martin Conrads / Cesar Cornejo / Noa Heyne / Byungseo Yoo / Asma Mehan / Yasemîn Özcan
Formats
Our formats are established ZK/U Projects that have turned into re-occuring cultural practices, now taking place on site regularly.
GÜTERMARKT
Once a month during summer
Monthly summer-market connects the neighbourhood and provides a platform for local goods and handcrafted items.
Projects
Our projects are artistic, research-related, socially relevant and often international experiments that can eventually turn into ZK/U Formats.
