OPEN CALL: ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMME AT THE MUSEUMSQUARTIER, VIENNA
The Artist in Residence Programme at MuseumsQuartier in Vienna (MQ AiR) is part of ERSTE Foundation's and tranzit's long-termed endeavour to support contemporary art and to strengthen the situation of its creators in the region of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The MQ AIR program is realized with tranzit, Igor Zabel Association (IZA) and Kontakt Collection. Kontakt will collaborate with the Zagreb based WHW Akademija.
The residencies are designed for artists, curators and theoreticians from Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia and Croatia working in the field of contemporary art to do research in their respective area. The research character of the residence should make it possible to take a break from the everyday strenuous production pressure and find time to concentrate on a specific interest. The participants are given the opportunity to live and work for the period of two months in one of the MuseumsQuartier studios right in the heart of Vienna. The apartments offer both living and working space, but do not provide room for large-scale artistic works. During the stay various meeting possibilities are offered to the participants. Each residence grants a monthly stipend of EUR 1050,-.
The participants from Croatia will be selected through a closed call in collaboration with WHW Akademija/Zagreb.
Artists, curators or theoreticians from Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia, are invited to take part in the open call.
