We work with you on three layers:

Your Story

• What is the narrative that sits underneath your work?

• How do you talk about it in a way that feels true to you – and still lands with curators, funders, collaborators?

• What do you actually want to be known for in 5–10 years?

Your Future

• We pick a year – let’s say 2035 or 2048 – and imagine that your practice has grown into the most interesting version of itself.

• From there, we look backwards: What had to happen? Which doors did you say yes to? Which did you close?

• This turns vague “goals” into an actual map.

Your Structure

• Focus (what to drop, what to double down on)

• Formats (residencies, collaborations, editions, teaching, side-projects)

• Rhythm (how to protect time for deep work, not just requests and admin)

It’s not:

• A classic coaching session with sticky notes and forced vulnerability

• A corporate brand workshop in disguise

• A lecture about how you “should post more on Instagram”

It’s more like:

• A long, sharp, slightly time-travelly conversation about who you are becoming

• A friendly, rigorous mirror for your practice, your patterns, and your blind spots

• A space where you’re allowed to be ambitious and confused at the same time

We’re a good fit if you:

• Have already built some body of work – but you’re not sure what the next level looks like

• Are tired of improvising your career year by year

• Feel that your work is about something bigger than just “content” or “product”

• Want a strategy that still feels like you, not like a brand manual

We might not be the right match if you:

• Just want quick tips on growing your follower count

• Are only looking for funding opportunities (we’re happy to talk about positioning, but we’re not a grant office)

• Don’t want anything to change

THE MAP is a framework we use to make complex dynamics visible. Not as a method, but as a shared space of orientation.

In artistic processes (as in organisations and societies) tensions rarely arise from a lack of ideas. They emerge where different perceptions, logics and realities meet without a common language.

THE MAP allows these perspectives to exist side by side: inner and outer, individual and collective.

Not to simplify them, and not to resolve them prematurely, but to reveal their relationships.

After working with us, you’ll have:

• A future narrative: a clear story of where you’re heading and why it matters

• A handful of concrete decisions: what to stop, start, and continue

• 1–3 strategic formats that match your work (not just random “projects”)

• Language you can reuse for bios, applications, conversations and collaborations

We keep it simple and transparent.

For individual artists we usually offer three formats:

• Future Session (1 × 4 hours)
  A focused, one-off session to look at where you are now and where you want to go.
  —Good for: decision-making, clarifying next steps, testing if we’re a fit.
  
  

• Artist Strategy Sprint (3 sessions over 4–6 weeks)
  From “vague direction” to a concrete future narrative and a small plan.
  —Good for: moments of transition (new city, new gallery, new line of work).
  
  

• Longer-term accompaniment (3–6 months)
  Ongoing strategic sparring as your projects unfold.
  —Good for: artists who are building a new chapter (studio, collective, practice shift).
  

If you’re interested but unsure about budget, talk to us.
We’d rather see good work in the world than lose you to a spreadsheet.

Translation: If there’s a genuine fit, we’ll try to find a way.

Short answer:

Between Berlin, Athens and the internet.

Longer answer:

• Online
  Most of our sessions happen on Zoom/Meet, because our clients are scattered across cities and time zones. It’s low-drama, high-focus and works surprisingly well for deep conversations.
  
  

• In person – Berlin
  We’re based in Berlin and occasionally offer in-person sessions – in our studio, on a walk, or (soon) on our boat as part of the Arcona Boat & Swim Club.
  
  

• In person – elsewhere
  For residencies, festivals or institutions, we’re happy to travel and build formats on site – from one-day labs to longer workshops with groups.

You don’t have to be in the “right” city to work with us. You just need a half-stable internet connection and a practice you care about.

Because the world doesn’t just need more “content”.
It needs artists who act like time travellers: bringing back signals, stories and images from futures that haven’t been built yet.

If that sounds like you – or the version of you that’s trying to emerge – we’d love to talk.

Let’s time-travel your practice.

Drop us a line, send us a link to your work, and we’ll see what kind of future we can unpack together.
