"H.O.M.E" is a new type of self-organized mobility model designed by artists for artists. It aims to support sustainable cooperation and long lasting connections between artists through the establishment of an independent residency scheme of "open houses". H.O.M.E is coordinated by the Slovenian based Kud Ljud with project partners from Belgium, France, Portugal, Slovenia, and Sweden. Designed to be efficient, the scheme provides easy access for other residencies seeking to join the network so that it may expand and develop. Applicant artists will be received on the sole condition that they execute a project in the public space while staying in the residence. The size of the "house" may vary from a large residency centre to a single room. The scheme strongly encourages reciprocity so that every visiting artist will act as a potential future host; this ensures the two-way mobility of the project and maintains a balance between applicant artists and residencies. The scheme is organised in four phases. The preparation phase involves E-conferences, an examining of the available resources of each residency, and the creation of a practical web platform to connect them together. The implementation phase involves the application for artists to the scheme, the opening of the platform to the general public, and the exchanges, workshops, and joint artistic works that derive from the project itself. The evaluation phase involves a conference with all partners meeting in Slovenia. The final phase – development and promotion – consists of improving the basic model of the scheme and the internet platform, and developing and further promoting the scheme to ensure that H.O.M.E becomes a functioning, self sustaining, and expanding network.
