Attention Artists: Artist Residency in Sweden
Norrköping Air – Call for Residency
Deadline: 07 Nov 2013
From the organizer:
Norrköping Air offers three artists the opportunity to live and work in Norrköping, Sweden from June 1– August 31, 2014. It is the second year that we offer this summer residency to artists from all over the world to develop projects in dialogue with the Norrköping Air team and Swedish institutions.
1. What kind of artistic practice are we looking for?
∞ Norrköping Air focuses specifically on time-based art and process-based practices. We are particularly interested in work that can be presented in public spaces of the urban landscape or work that is site-specific, experimental and challenges or looks for alternatives to existing ideas, forms and norms.
∞ We are looking for projects to be developed in tandem with the other two residents’ practices and in dialogue with Norrköping Air’s partners in the region.
2. What do we offer?
∞ Each selected resident will receive a 15,000 SEK grant per month for the three months of June, July and August 2014.
∞ We offer accommodation and at least one return ticket to the artist’s country of residence*.
∞ We provide access to production facilities at Linköping University (mostly digital) as well as access to other work space(s).
∞ Each successful applicant will have an opportunity to show the work publicly with one of our partners in Norrköping and/or region.
∞ The grant includes a small budget for production and a public presentation.
3. What do we want from the applicant?
Each applicant is obliged to send in the following:
∞ There is no formal application form. The applicant should instead present a project that s/he would like to realize during the residency and how it connects to their current practice.
∞ The proposal should be no more than two pages long and emailed as a PDF with a maximum file size of 5MB.
∞ The proposal can be accompanied by text, drawings or images, but should also include documentation of previous work or links to one or more web sites with links to video work or film documentation of previous performances (5MB).
∞ A current CV (1MB).
∞ No other material should be sent in.
∞ The application should be sent to [email protected] no later than midnight CET, November 7, 2014.
Please note that the project description should describe a coherent project and at the same time, remain open so that it can be developed in collaboration with a curator, other artists or other collaborators so that it can be shown with one of Norrköping Air’s partners in the region. Please follow the above guidelines with great care. Applicants who do not follow the guidelines or who submit their applications late will not be considered for selection.
