Node Center was founded in 2010 in Berlin, initially as a residency for curators. From 2011 — 2013 Node ran the Collaborative Curatorial Program which hosted 30 international curators yearly in a series of 3 month-long programs. The curators were immersed in the Berlin art scene and given networking opportunities, studio visits with artists and practical experience through workshops. At the end of each program, the guest curators developed a collaborative exhibition and publication.
The Collaborative Curatorial Program closed in 2013 and in 2015 Node launched the Innovators Grant. In mid-2016 Node will launch Art Department. Simultaneously Node has been running online courses for international curators and cultural producers, starting with the Online Platform in Spanish in 2009 (under the initial name ‘Visions of Art’). In 2011 the Online Platform in English was launched.
Node Center builds upon a strong foundation having hosted about 75 international curators since its founding and produced 10 exhibitions and publications. Yearly, Node present a series of 31 online courses to the international public, conducted by a strong team of lecturers specialised in their subjects. Each year Online Platforms attract up to 1500 students.
Node's aim is to continue to reach an ever-expanding international audience as well as strengthen a research, innovation and experimentation in the curatorial and artistic fields.
