His practice spans spatial design, text, video and sound. Harun will use an evolving, co-authored diagram, Artists’ Web of Need (2011 - ongoing) as the basis of this workshop. The Artists’ Web of Need can be considered a self-diagnostic tool for artists, groups, organizations and institutions supportive of artists. We will use the diagram to map, revise and articulate our own shifting needs as artists post-DAI.

Through a number of case studies and subsequent discussions, it will cover funding opportunities (and the varying approaches to them), navigating the bureaucratic struggle of the artist visa (and pre-emptively preparing for the requirements attached to it), and finding the right context for your work amidst the many different kinds of institutional formations in the country.

18:15 -19:15  OPEN TO ALL: Drawing from his own experience as a DAI alumnus, and nowadays a PhD candidate – not leaving behind his practice as a curator and artist – the intention of this Life after DAI workshop by Raphael Daibert is to share some opportunities of ‘third cycles’ (residencies, post & academic educational programs) around Europe. The idea of this open conversation is to talk about forms of sustaining oneself from a less careerist angle, and more from the perspective of strategies on how to continue doing artistic research with(in) or outside (art) institutions.
