We are excited to announce the open call for our 2018 residency program!

This year we will host a small group of artists from all over the world at our farm and together we will build an outdoor exhibition on a nearby cape.

We work with the landscape and community surrounding the farm as our starting point. Thematically investigating the relationship between modern people and nature as well as rural spaces in the context of western civilisation. Land404 is a place to ask questions, create dialogue from the periphery to the center, as well as reimagine how to inhabit these spaces that in many parts of the world are being abandoned.

The participating artists are encouraged to work freely with the themes. No discipline is preferred, but we are extra interested in experimental approaches, interdisciplinary work and social practice. This year we are collaborating with Blekinges Dansresidens, a residency program for dancers running parallel to ours which might open up for interesting possibilities.

The residency takes place in our house and as such there is a strong community aspect. It is important that we all partake in daily tasks, use each other as sparring partners and take responsibility for the well-being of the group. In other words if you want a room and no-one to bother you for a month this is probably not the program for you. When there is downtime we hang out, garden, pick mushrooms and berries in the woods, swim in the ocean or canoe with the seals living off the coast. 

LAND404

Land404 is an artist-driven platform run by us, Christopher Landin and Simone Alexandra Ærsøe from our house in the middle of farmland, forests and close to the sea. We create exhibitions, host workshops, collaborate with other local organisations and of course organize a residency. We want the place we live to be exiting and alive which is why we share our space with other artists in the hopes that we can facilitate important dialogue, experiment with cultural practices and engage with our surrounding community.
