Originally opened as a terrace restaurant in 1977, DAS MINSK now operates as a museum of modern and contemporary art. Its history as a place of hospitality, exchange and social life continues to shape the building to this day, while its architecture, historical use and transformation from a restaurant to a museum create a unique space for artistic, culinary and intellectual dialogue.
The Culinary Residency builds on the museum’s history and explores cooking as a cultural and artistic practice. From April to July 2027, the selected resident will develop an original project at the intersection of art, food and society, contributing to the museum’s public program. We welcome applications from chefs, artists, food designers and interdisciplinary practitioners whose work engages with questions of community, memory, hospitality, ecology and the future of eating.
During the residency, the recipient will develop their own project and present their work as part of the museum’s public program. The goal is to open up new perspectives on art, food and social issues, and to actively engage visitors. The residency offers space to develop new formats and culinary projects at the intersection of art, cooking, food, culture, sustainability and social issues—understanding the museum as a place of exchange and encounter.
For the duration of the residency, the recipient will receive: a stipend of €1,000 per month; reimbursement of travel expenses associated with the start of the residency; a furnished apartment; a Deutschlandticket; the possibility of production costs being covered for the submitted project proposal; access to exhibitions and relevant work areas of the museum; and support from the museum team in the development and realization of projects.
