artist-run initiative organising informal residencies and events

2011, Hotel Charleroi starts its second session after last
year’s initial project. This time the basis of Hotel Charleroi
will be the contemporary art museum BPS 22, which is currently
closed for administrative reasons. Hotel Charleroi is interested
in developing new approaches to art in public space, therefore
the museum will be defined as an accommodation infrastructure
and not as an exhibition space.</span></font><br>

<font style="font-size: 10pt;" face="Arial" size="2"><span
style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-GB">From July 9 to July 22
a series of events will occur in the city, including the
presentation of interventions which have been planned since
March by a group of invited artists. We propose interested
people to join these artists in the BPS22 for informal
residencies between July 4 and July 24. </span></font><font

Charleroi out of our own interest and means, therefore we cannot
offer any financial support to the residents beside basic
accommodation and participation to the Hotel Charleroi program.
However, we count on the enthusiasm of local institutions and
establishments to create networks and opportunities in Charleroi
and around.</span></font><font style="font-size: 10pt;"
