MoKS Studios
Due to flexibility of construction works we are able to continue with residency activities in our old premises at Mooste.
Artists can apply for 2 different studio spaces at MoKS. These studios offer the same room sizes and conditions, but have different application procedures. Please carefully read about application conditions below:
Residency Studio A
The Residency has operated since 2002. For 2010 artist/organisers from around the world are encouraged to apply. The studio is available to use free of charge from March 1st through November 30th. Residency periods can be arranged from 2 to 6 months. People working in all disciplines of art, e.g. visual, performing and media arts, music, criticism, research etc are encouraged to apply. Application deadline for 2010 AIR period is September 15th 2009.
Studio A Conditions
Artists are expected to find their own means for travel and per diem for living/insurance costs for the residency. MoKS can help with some materials and special tools on previous mutual agreement. MoKS occasionally gives out artist grants for residency period, but it depends on MoKS current year budget.
Studio A Space
The main studio space (41m2) is furnished and heated by a wood stove (electric heaters can be added if necessary). There is a bedroom (17m2), kitchen and bathroom supplied with mattresses, bed linen, blankets, towels, cooking utensils and washing machine. The artist in residence stays in the bedroom and has access to the kitchen, studio space, media lab, and bathroom. Occasional events such as workshops or Open Studio days may require the resident artist to temporarily share the 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 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.
Project Studio B
Studio (B) is open since summer 2008. This studio is rented out for shorter and mid-term residencies and/or artistic projects (1 week up to 3 months). Rental costs for 2009 January- November (incl) are as follows: renting studio maximum for 2 weeks costs per person are 100eek per day(including maintenance costs).
