The platform supports artists and creators wo rking in these areas\, focuses on interdisciplinary creation\, engagement and progressiveness with a focus on political and social thematic overlap s.\n\nCO.LABS functions as a cultural center dedicated to supporting inde pendent artists and their creations. It serves as a service organization providing infrastructure\, technical equipment\, education\, and professio nal development to elevate the sector. In addition\, it is a creative spa ce that accelerates the creation of high-quality works of art and thus ens ures an equal environment open to creative ideas that try to translate int o a high-quality result in the form of works of art.\n\n\n\nABOUT THE RES IDENCY PROGRAM:\nThe Ephemerality Residency Program is aimed at both esta blished and budding independent artists. It is open to various genres\, in cluding performing arts\, music\, visual and fine arts\, multimedia\, and more. Individual artists or groups from Slovakia\, Hungary\, and Poland  will spend 2 – 4 weeks in the Outdoor zone of CO.LABS. Artists or coll ectives will work together or build on each other in the space/environment within a single residency\, creating their own artistic projects and net working through regular interactions.\n\nThe goal is to create a particip atory and inspirational environment around the theme of ephemerality\, wh ere the creation of one work leads to the disappearance of another.\n\nWit h this residency program\, we want to accentuate the theme of ephemeralit y and volatility of works of art across the centuries and at the same tim e relativize this statement in the context of the works of surviving centu ries. We also open the discussion on recycling\, both as a global phenome non affecting our daily life\, but also in the context of artistic creatio n and intellectual property\, working with materials and their reuse. We s eek parallels between recycling materials and recycling one’s processes\ , ideas\, and self in artistic creation and life.\n\nEphemerality as a s tate of awareness: where the physical fades away and the spiritual remains . What is essential is the duration and the process contained within ephe merality. This involves transformation – personal\, local\, the transfor mation of place\, cultural centre CO.LABS\, society\, the cultural sphere\ , resources\, political movements\, cultural centers\, cultural institutio ns\, cultural professionals\, the status of artists\, and much more.\n\nTh e connecting element of all outputs will be the connection through space a nd materials – the condition of working with scenographic elements will be the necessity of using similar materials that are naturally found in th e space/environment\, their recycling\, upcycling\, or material connection to another artistic collective by using the same material in a different way.\n\n\n\nAreas of Artistic Interventions\nArtistic interventions by th e creators may focus on the following areas:\nEphemerality in Art and Crea tion\n\n Ephemeral materiality: Transformation of art over time and spac e.\n Ephemeral artistic experience: Uniqueness\, temporariness\, fleetin g nature (anti-composition\, anti-replica).\n Site-specific phenomenon:  Reaction to the place and the transience of its use\; adaptation and new a rtistic experiences.\n Recycling: Reuse of materials and artworks\, impl ications for new artistic creations.\n Transience of artistic legacy in h istorical context\n\nEphemerality in the Operation of Culture/Cultural Org anizations\n\n Sustainability of art: Lifespan of projects and their fun ding.\n Leadership of cultural institutions: Fluctuations in the leaders hip of cultural institutions\, healthy development\, transience of leaders hip\, the art of departure\, and new beginnings.\n Archiving vs. transien ce of artistic outputs\n Sustainability of artistic institutions‘ commu nities: Competition\, political environment\, gentrification.\n Cultural advocacy: Systematic communication of cultural institutions with compete nt authorities and political authorities (associations\, forums\, symposia \, advisory bodies)\, an ideal model of dialogue\, the value-based transie nce of culture\, cultural institutions\, and political activism.\n\nEpheme rality in Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives\n\n Transience of cultural iden tity/development of identity as a societal aspect: Influence of political regulations.\n Transience in times of crisis\n Transience of art as a c oncept: Definitions\, boundaries.\n Transience of artistic reflection an d dialogue: Absence of critics (financial compensation\, generational exc hange\, permeability).\n Transience of art in the realm of social media:  Viral effect and social media marketing strategies.\n Effective marketi ng strategies for promoting unique artistic experiences: Festivals\, uniq ue presentations of artistic works.\n\n\n\n\nRESIDENCY DETAILS:\nThe resid ency is aimed at established and budding independent professional creators working in the field of performing arts\, music\, visual and fine arts\, multimedia\, etc. It is intended for creative groups (max. 5 people) or in dividuals from the three V4 countries – Poland\, Hungary and Slovakia.\n \nThe projects undertaken within the Ephemerality residency program can be in various stages of creation – from initial interdisciplinary resear ch\, data collection\, testing and application of theses in different cont exts\, to final artworks adapted to specific environment and contexts or o ther. The intention of the residency is to create a space for creation\, research and exploration in the context of ephemerality and to work with the locality while sharing the space with other artists. The residency aim s to provide a space for the creation of new artworks or the sustainabili ty of existing ones.\nDuration:\n2 – 4 weeks\nResidency Period:\nSeptemb er 2024\nExpenses Covered by the Host Organization: \n\n space\n techni cal equipment\n production support\n PR\n accommodation\n honorarium 4 5000 CZK per residency for one selected individual or group (the amount of the honorarium does not depend on the number of people in the residency)\ n\nExpenses Covered by Artists:\n\n travel\n food\n\nResidency Condition s:\nParticipants should engage with the local community of the CO.LABS cul tural center by presenting their work in any form.

The outdoor zone is located in th e immediate vicinity of the center of Brno\, next to the Sokol Brno I bui lding\, where CO.LABS is located.\n\nThis hidden small park with an intima te atmosphere covers an area of 1000 m² with mature linden trees providi ng plenty of shade. It serves as a shared space suitable for artistic wor k\, networking\, and the presentation of contemporary art. In June 2022\, the park underwent revitalization and reconstruction\, transforming from a  minigolf area into a park serving residencies\, creation\, specific per formances\, open-air art discussions\, workshops\, community events\, and more.\nThis created a semi-public space completely adapted to the needs o f the performing arts.\n\nThe entire surface was strengthened by using a  crushed stone surface (reinforced layered crushed stone/gravel). This work was done in collaboration with the Divo studio focusing on landscape arch itecture\, allowing the surface to accommodate various functions such as c oncerts\, discussions\, performances\, visual installations\, temporary st ages\, and elevations. Additionally\, the park offers coworking and commun ity work infrastructure\, including small furniture. The park also feature s basic infrastructure – 380V electrical connections\, drinking water\, waste management\, and access. It can accommodate public events up to 250 people with facilities for refreshments\, barbecues\, tents\, and a built -up raised wooden terrace measuring 7m × 6.5m.\n\nTechnical drawing of Th e Outdoor Zone\n\nPHOTO of The Outdoor Zone\n\n\n\nFor additional question s or to schedule a call to explain the details\, contact the residency co ordinator:\n\nKlaudia Klembarová\nEmail: klaudia.klembarova@colabs.cz\nPh one: +420 605 029 370\n\nThis project is supported by the instrument RR F and Czech National recovery plan as of Next Generation EU program\, Call No. 0315/2023 – Development of Competences: Projects of International A rtistic and Professional Cooperation in the Czech Republic II.
