The Longstay Programme 2019 began with an open call for applications in April this year, followed by a research stay in July/August and a full-fledged stay in October. bi-PARADISE Screening showed a documentary film of the residency and a talk was held with the resident artist Enrico Floriddia to reflect on his experience.

During their residency, which began in October, the artist group bi- tried their own artist-in-residence in the PARADISE AIR building, bi-PARADISE.
bi-PARADISE does not require its residents to be artists or to produce art, but focuses on “travellers living together for a time”, valuing the small events and daily meals that are formed in the course of communal living. The PARADISE AIR staff intervened as little as possible, and the application process and stay plan was unique to “bi-“, resulting in a two-week period that was both PARADISE AIR and not PARADISE AIR.
The event became a film screening and talk event that unravelled the possibilities of residencies and the creativity that exists in everyday life, as bi-PARADISE made us realise anew.
