'ARTIST–IN–RESIDENCE'
Babayan Culture House:The Netherlands Babayan Culture House was founded in 2005 to promote greater understanding and cooperation among different peoples and nations through culture and art projects. The Babayan Culture House is closed in Turkey since 2017. We will continue in the Netherlands and inform through this website, email and intermediating organisations. The Foundation Babayan Culture House creates opportunities for inter–cultural dialogue between artists of all nationalities and all disciplines. The Babayan Culture House offers many possibilities for art–making including, painting, drawing, photography, video, sound, new media, sculpture, installation, and performance. Cappadocia: Cappadocia is a surrealistic landscape with tufa stone valleys, shaped centuries ago by the 'Erciyes' and other volcanoes. A part of this 40.000 square km area is a national park and an open–air museum with many rock churches and monasteries, restored by UNESCO, because it is an official world heritage area.

Artistic Mission: The micro–residency type Babayan Culture House AiR was Cappadocia's first and only independent contemporary art residency, organized for artists by artists. Its mission is to build bridges of understanding between East and West by nourishing art and providing space for artistic experimentation; encouraging cross–cultural dialogue, and collaborating with regional and international arts networks. Residency Program Objectives: – To provide artists with unrestricted time and space to research, develop and produce ongoing or new body of works/projects. – To introduce visiting artists to Cappadocian peoples, cultures and landscapes. – To provide the Cappadocian/Turkish community with exposure and access to a diverse range of contemporary international arts practices and theories. – To provide outreach activities such as talks, workshops and exhibitions, intended to promote interaction, awareness and professional development within the community.
  On the right you see the official opening ceremony of the exhibition of residency artist Leo van Velzen in August 2007 in the Kapadokya Center for Culture and Art, performed by both the Mayor (Belediye Baþkaný) Hasan Ünver of the capital Nevsehir and the Governor (Vali) M. Asým Hacýmustafaoðlu of the province of Nevsehir. Aims: The Babayan Culture House Foundation initiates and organizes art projects and stimulates inter–cultural exchange between artists of all nationalities. Expectations: The Babayan Culture House is managed by professional artists with a more then 40–year working experience. They stimulate a colleague atmosphere. An attitude of independency in project development is expected, besides an open mind towards the inter–cultural aspects of the stay. The Babayan Culture House acknowledges that some of the most creative strategies live in the intersections of disciplines, cultures and generations. Target groups: The target groups for the residencies are International and local artists interested in fine art, contemporary art, environmental art, exploratory site–specific art, public art and community based arts. An artist should have an adventurous attitude and be open to research within new approaches, experiences and meetings. Disciplines & Media: – all Visual Arts – Music – Installation / Performance / Theater / Dance – New Media – Educational & awareness projects / programs – Writing / Screenplay
