>> NOMADIC ISLAND – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE CAMP (LUXEMBOURG)
The Nomadic Island project is an artist residency project that goes beyond a usual creative residency since it merges with the experience of living in an international community that takes place at the same time. It is an experimentation platform involving an heterogeneous group of artists on one side, and an equally heterogeneous group of local residents on the other side. During a lapse of time of three weeks, the international community-based settlement is intended to create a space to let synergies arise around the theme of alternative ways of living and working.
The project therefore requires active participation both for the art works and for the maintenance of a good organisation within the community where each one will ensure its own contribution to logistics under sociocratic governance.
Application deadline: 15 April 2021.
Support:
- A remuneration of 2.000,- euro per artistic contribution
- Travel expenses to the Nomadic Island location will be refunded up to 200,- euro upon proof of payment
- All meals will be provided by the organisation during the whole month of residence.
>> BEYOND MATTER (ESTONIA, GERMANY, THE REPUBLIC OF ALBANIA)
Tallinn Art Hall, Tirana Art Lab Center for Contemporary Art, and the Hertz-Lab of the ZKM I Center for Art and Media are jointly calling for European art practitioners / theoreticians to apply for one of three production residencies taking place in Karlsruhe, Tallinn, and Tirana.
These residencies are within the framework of the long-term project Beyond Matter, and will be hosted by three of the partner institutions: Hertz-Lab of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Tallinn Art Hall and Tirana Art Lab Center for Contemporary Art. On site, the residency fellows will develop an artistic production or theoretical concept that takes as its starting point the core questions of the Beyond Matter project. How can virtual reality tools and digitization contribute to developing artistic practices that question materiality and offer possible ways to shift the discourse into other dimensions like experience, visualization, imagination, sensory perception, atmosphere, or spirituality? How can artistic practices using virtual reality contribute to current political and social discourses? What is the potential of virtual reality within the art field? And how can virtual reality serve as a media basis for overcoming physicality and temporality in order to create something new based on today’s possibilities? What can VR stand for? Virtual Reality, Variable Relations, Vertical Radiation, Valid Readings, Vaporous Restoration, Visible Revision?
The future applications must be conceived as versatile as their fields of application are constituted. That is why the search is not for one answer, but for many solutions.
For all three locations the dates are: September 1 – October 31, 2021 and May 1 – June 30, 2022.
Application deadline: 30 April 2021.
Support:
Each residency is fully funded and includes travel, accommodation, a stipend, and production costs.
- Hertz-Lab of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe: Workshops (wood, metal, electrical), dark projection room, set-up areas for larger installations, green screen studio, sound studio with multichannel audio projection, and a volumetric capturing system available by appointment.
