OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TRAVEL FOR CONTEMPORARY ART IN BERLIN
This course takes place in Berlin, Germany. CSU Summer Arts does
not provide any group flights, arrange travel reservations or make travel recommendations for Contemporary Art in Berlin. It is up to each individual participant to make travel arrangements and pay for his or her own travel.
All participants
must arrive in Berlin by July 28, 2021. The first class meeting will be on Wednesday, July 28 at a time to be determined. (Note that the program housing begins on Tuesday, July 27 to give you a day to get acclimated. We suggest that even if you book your own housing, you plan to arrive in Berlin on July 27. More information below.)
While you will be responsible for making your own travel arrangements, you will need to provide CSU Summer Arts with your travel information.
LODGING FOR CONTEMPORARY ART IN BERLIN
There are three options for your housing in Berlin:
1) Stay in one of the rooms booked through Summer Arts at the Circus Hostel.
2) Stay in one of the studios available as a live-work space.
3) Book any hotel, apartment rental, or other kind of housing you like on your own.
NOTE THAT HOUSING BOOKED THROUGH SUMMER ARTS BEGINS ON TUESDAY, JULY 27 AND ENDS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 17 (21 NIGHTS TOTAL).
Summer Arts has made group lodging arrangements at The Circus Hostel (circus-berlin.de/hostel/), conveniently located in the center of the city right next to major transit stops. Room types and rates (per person) are as follows:
solo private bath

There are also a limited number of beds available in three live-work gallery spaces for this course. Three of the exhibition spaces students will be working in have beds, kitchenettes, and bathrooms. (One space will accommodate 3 students, the other two spaces will each accommodate 2 students.) These spaces are VERY utilitarian - think "kitchen in the shower" setup - and offer little living privacy for the residents. That being said, this is a unique opportunity to experience the live-work aesthetic so common in Berlin. Each bed in a live-work gallery is $800 total per person for 21 nights.
You will receive an email upon receipt of your registration for this course detailing the housing options available to you, costs, and how to apply for each one.
