Multidisciplinary Studio Internship - Art, Engineering & Communication (Berlin)

Studio Apelbaum, founded by artist and engineer Jonathan Apelbaum, brings painting, technology, sound and people into the same space. Our work begins with stories of intimacy, memory and identity and grows through a team of makers, engineers, musicians, performers and writers. We are building a new 150 m² studio at Osloer Straße 16–17 in the historic Umspannwerk Christiania, with a workshop and our own exhibition space. Our cognitive paintings are oil paintings whose images shift with light, movement and sound through custom LED systems and software. Building these paintings and building the new studio are equally important parts of the internship. Both ask us to work with our hands, solve problems together and learn across disciplines. Our team crosses disciplines: Jonathan Apelbaum (painting and artistic direction), Thore Bartholomäus (co-owner and main engineer), James Calvert (mechanics and mechatronics), Fabian Wetekamp (software), Titouan Duflo (engineering, performance and AV), Clément Royon (music and soundscape) and malice. (a French collective from Clermont-Ferrand), Lucie Froehlich (fabrication and animation), Aysu Naz Atalay (writing), Valeria Loseva (building), and Alexandra Psijas (design). We also work with choreographer Matilde Flor Usinger and musician Forgotten Sounds to shape how an exhibition moves into the night. Our own series of ambitious, invitation-only exhibitions and events is central to the new studio. We design and build adaptable furniture in ste
