Amarte Fonds

OPEN CALL

Amarte and A Tale of A Tub join forces to host a residency for Netherlands-based curators and curating artists. With this open call, A Tale of A Tub, with the support of Amarte, is launching a residency programme focused on experimentation and addressing the residential context the institution is situated in. The selected curator will receive support during the development phase of a project or research initiative, without there being any specific end result to work towards. The idea is to make active use of the spaces in the former washhouse and bathhouse in which the art institution is based. Are you a curator in need of a working period in an inspiring environment?

Odapark

Charlott Markus
Charlott Markus received a grant for the development of new work. Odapark is a spatial installation where sculpture, sound, and sensory experience converge. The work creates an environment in which hiddenness and vulnerability become tangible, inviting visitors to physically relate to the space. During the exhibition period, the installation is also activated live by a new performance incorporating voice, body, and movement. As a result, the work continually shifts between silence, presence, and interaction. The presentation encourages deceleration, listening, and a direct experience of space, body, and mental landscapes.Charlott is a visual artist whose practice centers on spatial installations that bring together sculpture, sound, and sensory experience. In her work, she explores how space and material influence the way people engage with themes such as mental health, hiddenness, and vulnerability. Her installations create environments where visitors do not merely observe but physically and sensorially connect with the space. Increasingly, she also investigates the role of performance, where voice, body, and presence establish a direct relationship with the audience.
