SCOTTY ENTERPRISES, founded 2006, is a space from artists for artists, located in Kreuzberg in the city of Berlin.
The crew of the art-spaceship consists of 18 artists; with painting, drawing, photography, installation, film and video a wide spectrum of artistic media is represented.
SCOTTY ENTERPRISES presents artistic positions and realizes exhibitions with internal and external artists. It organizes events like film evenings and lectures about subjects which are discussed in the group and it is a platform for projects with other artists organisations.
SCOTTY ENTERPRISES is
exhibition space, thinking space, space of action,and it gives spacefor artistic experiments.
The reference to the legendary science fiction series “Spaceship Enterprise” in the name is consciously chosen because SCOTTY ENTERPRISES is about fictions in and with art – and about the exploration of possibilities to realize them. This includes the artistic self-organization, the development of aesthetic methods different from the common art market strategies as well asthegeneration of added discursive value.
SCOTTY ENTERPRISES does not commit to a label or binding guidelines.Instead, the enterprise offers maximum freedom of the individual and at the same time makes full use of the potential of group work. Individual and group interests are in constant dialogue. Democratic agreements help planning and realizing projects.
SCOTTY ENTERPRISES is programmatic – pragmatic.
