Takt Artist Residency is based in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, Leipzig Lindenau (Saxony)and Zeitz (Saxony-Anhalt)
Berlin
Prenzlauer Berg is a very tranquil and beautiful area. Over the years many artists chose Prenzlauer Berg as their residence. The Takt Studios and our showroom TAPIR now are located near to Mauerpark, one of the most attractive Berlin meeting points presenting a mixture of Berlin Wall monument, public hangout, flea market and live music events.
Leipzig
The studios are situated in Leipzig-Lindenau. Lindenau, near to the centre, is a culturally vibrant quarter with 8 theatres, the famous art center Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei and other interesing art venues. Our studios are near to the Karl Heine Canal, a chilling place for everybody.
In the northern quarter Gohlis we run our showroom ARMADILLO.
Zeitz
SOLITUDE in Zeitz is the youngest venue of Takt.
Zeitz is located in eastern Germany, Saxony-Anhalt, near to Leipzig. Its younger history is not untypical for some towns in the GDR, which lost significant parts of their economic base and, as a result, their population, which fell from 55,000 to 27,000 after German reunification.
For a long time, Zeitz has been an economically and culturally flourishing town, and the traces of this era can still be seen in the townscape. Here we see architectural testimonies of remarkable beauty, some freshly renovated, some threatened by decay.
And at the same time there are signs of a new beginning. Zeitz has been discovered by cultural workers who are becoming increasingly visible in the townscape. The old and the new, depression and new beginnings stand side by side.
Solitude is a small artist residency and gives space for 2 artists or artist couples. We offer two comfortable apartments under the roof and two studios in the same building.
Takt Artist Residency was founded by in 2007.
