Get matched →The fertile void is a residency for the threshold: the inner winter, the cave, the silence between notes, the held breath before form. It borrows from Gestalt therapy's point zero and the kabbalistic idea of an infinite that withdraws to make room for creation, focusing on potential before it hardens into shape. This is a season of rest, patience, and secret beginnings, of dissolving, of questions instead of answers. We welcome work that dwells in the liminal (life and death, solitude and belonging, the finite and the infinite), with particular openness to sound, scent, and movement: the senses that live in the dark.
You’ll stay in our huge, comfortable shared apartment, in either a private or shared room. There are multiple bathrooms, a large kitchen, and a big, plant-filled balcony.
Open to philosophers, movement artists, writers, visual artists, sound artists, perfumiers, and all other intrepid explorers of the fertile void.
We have private and shared studios, a store of basic materials, a woodshop, a kitchen, a library for quiet working or reading, and endless Athenian light.
We expect artists to participate in group discussions and contribute texts to the reader for the session. We focus on process not product, and this is likely to be a research-focused group.
