With the Claussen-Simon Residencies in Paris, we offer stART.up alumni two different opportunities to work in Paris and present themselves internationally: dépARTS comes with a three-month work grant, focusing on independent artistic work on a personal project in the studios of Fondation Fiminco. A key aspect of the program is networking with other international artists in residence and with cultural institutions in Paris. Our cooperation with Maison Heinrich Heine emphasizes a solo exhibition in Paris, which can be combined with a one-month residency at the renowned Franco-German cultural institution in the heart of the Cité internationale universitaire. From the very beginning, stART.up has had an international focus, reflecting the diverse backgrounds of its Hamburg-based fellows. With these new collaborations, we enable outstanding former scholarship holders to present their art abroad and to establish a network in France and beyond.
