Its been nearly 3 years since the renovation work of MOKS began. When you’re trying to run a program at the same time this starts to feel like a long time. The light at the end of the tunnel is starting to appear however. We have now entered phase III which will be the largest part of the work to date. The majority of the the work will be done on the second floor, under the roof. It is quite a large amount of space and will essentially double what is available on the ground floor. This, the main kitchen, and the last studio in the rear corner of the ground floor is what is left. All of this is supposed to be finished by October of this year.

Early in the morning on August 24th, just after AVAMAA, some construction workers peered through the windows at the back of MoKS only to find some artists sleeping on the hay inside. Tere hommikust! The renovation of MoKS has begun. First the facade and re-grading of the exterior will be done, while it is warm I suspect. In parallel the basement will be worked on to secure the foundation. Then they’ll move on to the interior, heating system and other details. The amount of work is significant yet according to plan, everything should be ready by the end of 2010. Lets see… check here for updates.

This means some temporary changes will be made to the residency program, particularly for 2010. We are looking into some option to keep the residency open but probably scaled down and at another location. If you are planning to apply, please write and ask about the status of the program and be prepared for a flexible situation.
