International Fellowship Programme for Visual Arts and Theory 2009/2010
Call for Submissions
Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen invites visual and media artists, art critics, theorists, and curators to apply for the three fellowship positions in 2009–2010. The period for which candidates can apply is September 7, 2009 – July 2, 2010.
The closing date for submissions is December 5, 2008 (postmark).
With its Fellowship Programme for Visual Arts and Theory, Büchsenhausen actively promotes internationally relevant art production, research, and discussion in the region of Tyrol.
The programme`s aims are:
* To improve the production of a qualified discourse on art and society in the local and global context;
* To improve exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts and beyond (creating a network of experts);
* To support and expand the critical, socially relevant artistic and art-theoretical production of knowledge;
* To facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the art field and the public outside the art context.
The programme brings together the advantages of a residency with the possibilities of a postgraduate non-university lectureship, without offering a formalized educational programme. In terms of content, the programme addresses a worldwide public made up of professionals in the fields of contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory and criticism.
The fellows, selected by expert jurors, find excellent working conditions in Büchsenhausen, while the city of Innsbruck and its surrounding area offer an interesting setting in terms of its art, culture, and landscape. The grant and the residency not only allow fellows to work on their proposed projects, but also give them the chance to experiment and to reconsider their current practice.
The conveyance and discussion of the fellow`s own work occurs parallel to the development of the individual projects. The public events take place in series. The focus of these series of events is determined by the respective emphases of the various fellows` works. Within the framework of this discursive format, the fellows (or their guests) can present various points in their research, open up their works-in-progress to critical discussion, interact with experts who they invite, work through content with the public, and/or try out new ways of working.
