MORPHO is an artist residency and studio organisation in Antwerp, Belgium that supports the development of visual art and artists. It manages fifteen studio buildings and an international residency programme, advocates the place of artists in the city to policymakers and gives visibility to their presence to a wider audience.
MORPHO fosters local studio projects and international residency exchanges that give artists time, space and a network. At MORPHO, artists do not just get an individual workspace: they receive practical and curatorial support to develop their practice or project in an open environment that encourages critical dialogue and artistic experimentation; they are paired with a community of peers and a programme of weekly sessions that inspire and empower them professionally.
MORPHO’s main premises are located in the heart of Antwerp, behind the Central Station and Zoo, in the former director’s house of a biscuit factory (residency house) and a former dominican monastery (residency studios). A residency at MORPHO includes the use of an individual studio in the monastery, as well as accomodation in the shared residency house (common spaces include kitchen, living and dining room, courtyard, basement and library). The enclosed monastery garden is shared with Kunsthal Extra City and open to residents at any time.
