About Artkom
About Artkom as a place
Artkom is a studio for process art, presence, and shared making.
It exists as a place where art is practiced as a way of being. Not as a means to produce, perform, or perfect. The studio was created to hold space for people to slow down, work with materials, and listen through making.
Artkom is not built around outcomes.
It is built around attention.
The origin
Artkom emerged from a long-standing artistic practice rooted in process, repetition, and embodied presence. It was founded as a response to environments where art becomes instrumental , measured, evaluated, or rushed toward result.
The studio was shaped as an alternative:
a place where making can remain open, unfinished, and alive.
What kind of studio this is
Artkom is not a school.
It is not a workshop venue.
It is not a productivity space.
It is a studio field.
People come here to work with paint, paper, space, and time, without instruction to follow or results to reach. What matters is not what is made, but the quality of presence brought into the act of making.
The studio holds silence as generously as conversation.
Both are welcome.
Orientation and values
Artkom is guided by a clear orientation rather than fixed structures.
Its values are simple and steady:
process over product
presence over performance
repetition over intensity
listening over explanation
These principles shape how the studio is held, how time is approached, and how work is allowed to unfold.
A place with memory
Artkom is a physical studio; a place with light, materials, traces, and history.
It is not neutral. The walls carry what has been made, paused, and left unresolved.
The studio is cared for as a living environment, allowing work to remain open rather than closed, and meaning to arise without being forced.
Why it exists
Artkom exists to protect a way of working that is increasingly rare:
one that honours slowness, attention, and the intelligence of the process itself.
It is a place to arrive, to return, and to remain without pressure to move on.
