Residence Botkyrka has been a temporary home for artists since 2010. Located on the ground floor in a high-rise residential building, the two-bedroom apartment with a kitchen and a living room, has been a place for researching and exploring new forms of art through the context of Botkyrka and beyond.
There are numerous projects and ideas that have grown out of Residence Botkyrka’s programme since 2010. Some of them have been documented, published as books or presented through exhibitions or interventions in the public space. The archive is an ongoing activity of collecting and presenting previous events and artworks. The archive is available within the new premises of Botkyrka konsthall, as well as on this website.

Organisation and collaborations
Residence Botkyrka is run by Botkyrka konsthall and the municipal run housing company Botkyrkabyggen.
Residence Botkyrka is also collaborating with Swedish and international institutions and networks like: AllArtNow, Iaspis (Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s international programme for Visual and Applied Artists), Konstfack and CuratorLab, Stockholm University – Curating Art Programme, among many more cultural organisations and institutes.
The online archive presents a history that begins with the seminar “What is a residence? What is a city?”, which took place in 2009 and marked the beginning of Residence Botkyrka’s activities. It also lists all the artists, projects, and programmes that have taken place up to the present day.
