PROGRAMS
WHERE PRACTICE
ENTERS PUBLIC LIFE.
ELSEHERE develops festivals, residencies, and site-responsive programs that move artistic practice from research and development into public encounter.Our programs create the time, context, relationships, and production structures through which new work can be tested, presented, documented, and carried into its next context.
OUR APPROACH
A PROGRAM IS NOT AN EVENT.
IT IS A STRUCTURE FOR
WHAT COMES NEXT.
ELSEHERE approaches public programs as part of a longer artistic continuum.
RESEARCH
Artists, ideas, materials, and places come together around questions that require sustained attention.
DEVELOPMENT
Time, dialogue, production support, and experimentation allow the work to take form.
ENCOUNTER
The work enters public life through performance, moving image, installation, sound, publication, or spatial experience.
CIRCULATION
Documentation, critical context, partnerships, and continued dialogue allow the work to travel beyond a single presentation.
CURRENT PROGRAM
NEW YORK EXPERIMENTAL ARTS FESTIVAL 2026
OCTOBER 8–11, 2026
LE PETIT VERSAILLES · NEW YORK
Entangled Garden is a four-day festival of performance, moving image, installation, sound, and interdisciplinary work developed in relation to the changing conditions of a living garden.Rather than placing finished objects into a neutral venue, the festival treats site, duration, weather, audience movement, daylight, and darkness as active elements of the program.Across four distinct days, artists and audiences enter a shared environment in which works unfold through proximity, interruption, attention, and change.

CASABLANCA RESEARCH & CREATION RESIDENCY 2026
AUGUST–DECEMBER 2026
CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
The Research & Creation Residency supports artists and cultural practitioners developing work through sustained inquiry, experimentation, and exchange with a particular place.
The residency is not conceived as retreat alone. It is a working structure through which research can become material, documentation, public dialogue, publication, or a future artistic project.
Projects may develop through studio practice, field research, writing, movement, performance, moving image, installation, local collaboration, or interdisciplinary experimentation.
The form of each residency responds to the artist, the work, the site, and the relationships required by the project.
TWO FRAMEWORKS. ONE CONTINUUM.
The public encounter
The festival brings work into direct relationship with site, audience, atmosphere, duration, and other artistic practices.
It creates:
-
Public presentation
-
Spatial and site-responsive experience
-
Artist and audience encounter
-
Documentation and critical context
-
Partner and presenter visibility
-
Possibilities for future circulation
The development context
The residency creates time and conditions for practices that cannot be developed through speed, distance, or predetermined outcomes.
It creates:
-
Sustained inquiry
-
Studio and field development
-
Cross-cultural exchange
-
Local relationships
-
New artistic material
-
Documentation and future pathways
WHAT PROGRAMS PRODUCE
THE PRESENTATION IS
NOT THE ONLY OUTCOME.
NEW WORK
Original projects and new artistic material developed through time, place, experimentation, and exchange.
PUBLIC RECORD
Documentation, writing, interviews, publication, and contextual material that allow the work to remain accessible beyond the event.
RELATIONSHIPS
Sustained connections among artists, audiences, venues, institutions, collaborators, and communities.
NEXT CONTEXT
Pathways through which a project may be adapted, published, commissioned, toured, presented, or developed further.
PARTNER WITH US
PROGRAMS BEGIN WITH A SITE,
A QUESTION, OR A SHARED NEED.
ELSEHERE works with museums, universities, festivals, venues, cultural foundations, residency spaces, and independent organizations to develop programs that respond to real artistic and institutional contexts.
A collaboration may begin with:
-
A site seeking a new artistic framework
-
A research question requiring curatorial development
-
Artists or practices requiring contextual introduction
-
A residency or exchange initiative
-
A festival, exhibition, screening, or public program
-
A work moving toward adaptation, touring, or presentation
-
A cross-border partnership requiring cultural and linguistic context
We bring curatorial research, artistic relationships, program design, production thinking, editorial context, and long-term partnership development.
