New CRIR house
why CRIR?
The aim of the Christiania Researcher in Residence project
is to involve artists, researchers and academics in an
open, critical and reflective dialogue around the free
town Christiania in Copenhagen, and to feed new creative
and critical thinking into the public realm.
Since 2004 the CRIR house has hosted researchers from
around the world with a particular interest in Christiania
as a research area. Christiania’s insight and experience
into local organisation, alternative architecture,
lifestyle, culture, sustainable environments, quality of
life, democracy and innovation is unique in the world and
could generate important knowledge that may inspire new
urban thinking.
Researchers/residents are invited to live in Christiania
for short periods, depending on the nature and needs of
their proposed projects, typically up to one month.They
are asked to consider their project’s expected visibility
and how it may contribute to public debate – whether in
the form of an academic text, a public lecture, an event,
an artwork, a conference or an exhibition.
Applicants are asked to consider how their project can be
communicated internally in Christiania. Residents will
have access to support and guidance as well as a
historical archive from a network of Christiania
residents. Various venues and public spaces may be
available for events, exhibitions and public
presentations.
The House
The CRIR house is financed by the Christiania community
fund and private funds and is hosted by the area of
Mælkebøtten (one of Christiania´s fourteen community
regions).
The house is about 25 Square metres (270 square feet). It
has a dining room with a sofa for sitting/sleeping one or
2 persons, toilet with a small shower, bedroom with a
single bed and a kitchen. It has central heating and the
front of the house has a large covered porch.
CRIR will supply bedding, towels, free broadband internet
and pedal bicycles. There is access to a shared
pay-per-wash washing machine. Bed covers, towels etc. will
be washed by the housekeeper. The CRIR house should be
kept in order and cleaned by the resident. The house is
booked for one guest at a time, for a maximum of 1 month
(but the guest can invite whoever to stay along!). Please
bear in mind that the neighborhood is quiet and
residential.

Christiania Researcher in
Residence formål (in
Danish)
CRIR tilbyder bolig for forskere og kunstnere fra
hele verden med specifik interesse i Christiania som
studieobjekt.
CRIR har til formål at få kunstnere, forskere og
akademikere i åben og kritisk dialog om fristaden
Christiania, og vil formidle kreative og kritiske tanker i
det offentlige rum.
Siden 2004 har CRIR inviteret forskere og kunstnere med
specifik interesse i Christiania fra Danmark, Norge,
England, Belgien, Lithauen, Sverige, Østrig, Frankrig, USA
og mange andre lande.
Christianias kendskab og viden om lokal organisering,
alternativ arkitektur, livsstil, kultur , bæredygtighed,
livskvalitet, demokrati og fornyelse er enestående og kan
måske skabe vigtig kendskab til nye bymæssige
samlivsformer.
Forskere og kunstnere inviteres til at bo på Christiania i
en kortere periode, typisk under eller op til 1 måned. De
bliver bedt om at beskrive hvordan deres projekt forventes
publiceret og hvordan det forventes at fremstå i den
offentlige debat – hvad enten det er i form af en
akademisk tekst, et offentligt seminar eller foredrag, en
event, en bog, kunst, film, en konference eller
udstilling. Ansøgerne bedes også beskrive hvordan deres
projekt kan vises/fremføres internt på Christiania.
CRIR-Gæsten vil få begrænset hjælp og vejledning, og
adgang til en historisk viden gennem et netværk af
christianitter. Diverse lokaler og offentlige rum står så
vidt som muligt til rådighed for gæsternes events,
udstillinger eller præsentationer. Der ydes ikke økonomisk
hjælp til underhold. Grundbeløb, el, vand, varme og
tøjvask betales af gæsten.
