New RESIDENCY options for 2020 now available … 

MERZ Workshop occupies the buildings and yard of Sanquhar’s former lemonade factory.

MERZ’s objective is to re-use and recast narratives exploring reconstruction and fabrication in the arts.

MERZ draws as a metaphor on Kurt Schwitters’ assemblages and the conceptual and protagonistic approach of Analytical Art and the early Art & Language.

MERZ offers residency accommodation for artists and authors including workshop and exhibition spaces and provides filmed exposition of work/ideas for TV, social media or archive.

MERZ is a hub for touring, swapping and exchanging art-as-idea among artists, collectives and progressive galleries supporting the virtual as well as the physical visitor.
