ELEVEN artspace / Art is Residence²

General information

Brief description of organisation

ELEVEN artspace is an artistic initiative in a rural location which provides a forum for all artistic disciplines and interdisciplinary work, encouraging encounters with contemporary art forms outside of urban cultural centres. Interaction and intervention between art and the locality in which it is practiced is a significant aspect of the project.

This is an independent non-profit art project. The name ELEVEN is derived from the archaic term for “pupils/students” (= Eleve/Elevin/Eleven).

ELEVEN artspace is based in a former school in Börstingen. It is situated in the Upper Neckar Valley between Rottenburg and Horb in the rural environment near Tübingen and Stuttgart.
