Shona Neary / Sketchy Shona
A new collaboration involving Berlin Pulse, Sketchy Shona, THE FLOOR and Countercult, with public event details to follow when confirmed.
The room comes first
THE FLOOR is my Berlin studio, residency and project room. It is a real room with a residential context, a place where artists can live, work and spend enough time around an idea for it to become specific.
The Salon Night collaboration with Berlin Pulse starts from that same understanding of place. It is not a generic event announcement separated from the life of the room. It is a relationship between people, local culture and a space with its own history.
A connected collaboration
The announced collaboration involves Berlin Pulse, Sketchy Shona, THE FLOOR and Countercult. The names stay distinct. THE FLOOR is the room and residency. Sketchy Shona is my artist practice. Countercult is the cultural infrastructure I founded for public cultural discovery, local intelligence and paid work.
The connection is the project and the people around it. Berlin Pulse and Sketchy Shona are named as hosts of the Salon Night collaboration, with the wider record carried across the connected sites.
Details when they are confirmed
The collaboration has been announced, but the public date, time, venue, ticket or RSVP route are not confirmed in the materials currently available. I am leaving those details out rather than making the page sound more finished than the event is.
The connected records will be updated when the practical information is ready to publish. Until then, this Journal entry is a record of the collaboration and the room it is developing from.
The resident open call remains its own offer
THE FLOOR is also accepting applications for artist stays beginning in November 2026. That open call is for artists who want concentrated time for their own practice inside a small, artist-run residential and creative environment in Neukölln.
The residency and the Salon Night are related because they share a room and a wider cultural practice. They are not the same offer. The residency has its own application route, terms and expectations.
