Art Symposium - Kunstisümpoosion |
MoKS Studios There are 3 different studios at MoKS. The artist in residence stays and works in their own studio and bedroom and shares the kitchen, and bathroom. Studios are furnished, bedrooms are supplied with beds, mattresses, bed linen, blankets, towels. The studio space room sizes vary between 36- 65m2, the bedrooms between 15-18m2. Occasional events such as workshops or Open Studio days may require the resident artist to temporarily share the studio facilities (artists will be notified of the conditions previous to arrival). All the rooms have internet access (wireless and wired). Medialab facilities include: miniDV camera, PC with digital video and sound editing possibilities, video projector, TV and DVD/VHS player, and stereo sound system. MoKS studios are spacious and comfortable, which allows for a concentrated working atmosphere. The climate conditions in Estonia vary throughout the year from 30+C summer to -30C winters. During the colder months the resident artist should be prepared to handle the weather conditions (bring warm clothes). Basic tasks such as accepting village life, building fires to heat the stoves, cooking and shopping are part of the daily routine. MoKS guests are expected to be responsible, independent and adaptable to living and working in a foreign, rural village which can be socially isolating at times. NOTE: MoKS is located in a rural community and does not have van or car. Arrangements can be made for special transport needs but at the expense of the resident. Otherwise residents should be prepared to travel with local public transport. What's in Mooste?Mooste is a small rural south Estonain village of about 500 people.
