Node Center for Curatorial Studies was created in order to offer a platform to teach, experiment, and investigate subjects related to curatorial studies and contemporary art practices. The Center´s core activity stems from the Curatorial Studies Program that offers its participants the possibility of expanding their work experience, with professional feedback and technical support, by developing projects in Berlin.

Each year, Node focuses on a key topic that questions inherited curatorial practices and that invents new ways of creating knowledge by finding new possibilities in the exhibition process. Residents of the Curatorial Studies Program along with artists, curators and guest specialists take on these key topics in order to create a solid body of research.

The program lasts twelve weeks, 30 hours per week. During this period, residents will enjoy a shared office as well as a space in which they can experimenting with new exhibition formats. Node offers residents necessary resources for curatorial investigations and its practical applications. At the same time, residents will participate in activities programed by Node, such as workshops, seminars, meetings with guest specialists, artist's work presentations, and visits to exhibition spaces, among others.
