India -- KHOJ International Artists in New Delhi

KHOJ International Artists Workshop, New Delhi (INDIA)

KHOJ International Artists Workshop is an autonomous, artist led initiative based in New Delhi. Over the last five years we have been engaged in building connections between artists/artist communities within the region and internationally, through workshops, residencies and exchange programs. Our main forum over the past 5 years was an annual 2 week international workshop held in Delhi in November. This year the workshop venue has been shifted to Mysore city in south India. Two years ago an international artists' residency programme on a modest scale was instituted to allow artists a longer time period to take their ideas forward.

Due to very hot summers in Delhi, we organise the residency programmes only in the winter/spring months and this year we are organising 2 residencies for a duration of 6 weeks each. As an artists' organisation , we are able to network the visiting artists with the local art community upon arrival. We have also deliberately chosen to locate ourselves within the city, as we believe that most contemporary artists are eager to experience the city at close quarters.

Residency available for one artist from the Nordic region during:
1) Mid August - September 2004 (6 weeks)
or
2) November - Mid December 2004 (6 weeks)

KHOJ is part of the international network of workshops established by the Triangle Arts Trust, UK.

Studios
An individual studio about 5 kms from the KHOJ guesthouse will be provided to each artist. The studios are situated in an urban village. We facilitate arrangements with local photography labs, editing studios and other institutions if required and on request.

Accomodation
At the KHOJ office-cum-guesthouse, you will be provided with accomodation consisting of a 3 bedroom flat (with attached baths) in a central part of New Delhi. There is a small kitchen with cooking facilities and a 24 hour housekeeper. Situated behind a commercial market, it has several restaurants, transportation facilities and great markets!

Outreach
- A small exhibition/open studio of work done during the residency will be organised at the end of the residency period.
- We shall organise one or two lectures in established art institutions in the city, so do bring slides/videos of your work and those of your contemporaries to share with us.
- If you would like to work on a particular project with a particular community, please contact us immediately so that we can make arrangements and see what could be possible.
