airPOORT (artist-in-residence program in the Poortgebouw)
The Poortgebouw's AIRpoort program is no longer active. From October 2008 to November 2009 we invited artists from diverse artistic backgrounds - writers, visual artists, musicians, hackers, performers - who wished to research/develop a project in the Netherlands.

[jan-mar 2009]: Demian Bern
[jul-aug 2009]: Samira Borovik & Rogério Largman Borovik
[sep-nov 2009]: Chris Dupuis
Quotes from residents:
"We really enjoyed our stay in Poortgebouw, it was a good experience for the family. We made several video records, even a videoperformance! We hope that the house can still be such an interesting place, maybe we can come back next year."
-Samira Borovik & Rogério Largman Borovik
Jaromil is the first "artist in residence" in one of the attic rooms. He will stay from October to the end of December. Jaromil is hacker, activist, kraker and artist. He is busy with many projects, a recent one is M2M radio and the 26 October commemoration: 3 years after the fire in the migrant detention center in Schipol, which killed 11 people in the cells. He is planning a low-tech video installation in the eetcafe in December, and is also open for collaboration proposals about poetry, migration, video installations and such.
