From the open call:
Container Artist Residency and ZIM Integrated Shipping Services are pleased to launch CONTAINER ARTIST RESIDENCY 01, a unique artist-in-residence program that takes place onboard commercial cargo ships. Container Artist Residency identifies the shipping industry as a driving cultural and economic force in the contemporary world, and encourages artists to rethink their practice from this unique perspective.
As the inaugural edition of this program, the residency invites visual artists from around the world to produce artworks while voyaging into the heart of international commerce. Kicking off with an open call for artists in October 2015 and the hosting of artist residencies at sea in early 2016, the project culminates in seven international exhibitions from June–December 2016.

– The seven winning artists (selected by a panel of three renowned professionals) will choose their own routes and create artworks for exhibition in 2016.
BENEFITS
– A fully-funded trip onboard a cargo vessel on a route of their choice.
– Studio space for working and accommodation in the ship’s cabins for up to three weeks, in addition to an honorarium, return travel allowance, and production budget.
