“Andy Rankin, a young curator, has been conducting a two year long unprecedented and necessary research, on the collapse of our civilization, the anthropocene epoch, and collapsology itself. As if reading the history of art in reverse, his curatorial research begins from various artworks and protocols on the brink of disappearance, destruction, or even, ready to be set off in case of emergency."

"This residency is an incredible chance to establish dialogues with artists from all over the world and to set up new projects."
