The city:
Once a symbol of division, Berlin now connects Western and Eastern Europe. Berlin-Brandenburg, the capital region, lies at the centre of the enlarged European Union and remains a hot spot for the international arts scene.

Studio / Apartment:
The artist studio of the Cantons Basel-Stadt and Basel-Landschaft is located in the artistically emerging district of Wedding in the studio building Wiesenstrasse 29 by the small river Planke. In the immediate vicinity lies an internationally renowned sculpture workshop, numerous other studio locations, and the building monument Gottschedstrasse 4 of EXRotaprint GmbH (www.exrotaprint.de). In August 2009, the artist cooperative «Wiesenstrasse 29 eG» acquired the leasehold for the building complex from the Swiss Edith Maryon Foundation. Since then, the cooperative has managed and rented out the building, which offers ideal working conditions for visual artists, freelancers, small businesses, and social projects. Currently, 22 artists work on site.
The spacious residential studio with separate working and living zones is located under the roof of the studio complex, which also houses the studio of the Zug-based Landis & Gyr Foundation and the studios of the Cantons of Fribourg, Geneva, and Zurich. Our studio shares the entrance with the latter.

Special features:
Atelier Mondial does not currently work with a fixed institution in Berlin that supervises the grant holders on site. However, a representative of the studio cooperative is available on site. Since 2018, there has also been a casual connection with the ADDAUX Gallery.

Requirements:
For the stay in Berlin, a high level of personal responsibility and independence is required, as well as a certain desire to engage with the vibrant art scene of this city with curiosity and verve. The studio offers ideal conditions for both production and (self-initiated) networking with the international art scene. The studio is suitable for artist duos and couples.
