The Local School

LOCAL MISSION
The Local School is based on the premise that Berlin is highly inefficient at using and mobilizing its potentials and resources. 

LOCAL FACULTY
The Local School is based on a faculty in flux. But many are based in Berlin. It exploits the fact that many of the world's most interesting protagonists live and work in the city. The Local School's central organizational diagram is based on a rhizomatic network of local practitioners, who act as sparring partners for students. 

LOCAL STUDENT ADMISSION
The Local School is for free. Every year 52 students are being admitted. Each week witnesses the opening of a solo show of one of the 52 annual participants, mentored by one artist whom they personally choose and apply to. It offers a 1:1 relationship between students and faculty. Students can apply directly to work with a member of the faculty, who then choose one student to work with for one year.
