Stuudio Labus is an artist-run residency programme primarily designed for fiber and textile artists. Our primary aim is to cultivate an environment that fosters creativity, experimentation, and introspection for artists working within the textile field. We strive to offer a platform for sharing skills, experiences, and connections within the vibrant world of fiber and textile art. Situated in an industrial area of Tallinn, Estonia, our studio is located within a former cement factory building. Our residency can accommodate 1-2 artists, with stays ranging from a minimum of two weeks to a maximum of three months. An integral part of our residency programme is the introduction to Estonia's fiber and textile art scene. This includes events, workshops, visits to studios and cultural institutions, and more. We extend a warm invitation to residents to actively partake in these activities.
"MASSIA is based in the Estonian countryside, near the Baltic sea, about 180 km south of Tallinn, and 140 km north of Riga (Latvia). The residency is located in the old school house of Massiaru, a little village with about thirty inhabitants, surrounded by forests, fields and bogs. MASSIA is a project and residency space for individuals and groups from any field – artists, practitioners, researchers, scientists, activists, etc., who seek to examine and determine their own conditions of work. It is a self-organised residency that operates without staff and asks for participatory ways of being. MASSIA is for people who can motorize their own artistic and knowledge production, not only responding to the opportunities given by the institutional market. Initiated and run by artists, researchers and practitioners themselves, MASSIA is a user-created informal residency. There is no selection process and it is open to anyone as long as there are rooms available and as long as prospective participants agree with the basic principles laid out in MASSIA basics.
