Expectations towards the artist
As this is a self-funded residency, the only expectation is that the artist works on their project during the majority of their residency. KORDON hopes that this supportive environment, without the pressure to produce, will aid creativity, experimentation and the development of new ideas. KORDON, for its part, deals with communication and supports the resident with the necessary help during the residency.
