[spectre] (fwd) Rijksakademie Amsterdam residencies - Call for Entries

[Andreas Broeckmann]

Rijksakademie Call for Entries
Deadline for application: 1 February 2009


The Rijksakademie Residency in Amsterdam is an international research 
and production place for emerging, professional artists from all 
continents. The Rijksakademie is more than a residency. It has 
extensive technical facilities, a library and an art collection. In 
addition, the Rijksakademie offers basic facilities such as a studio, 
assistance by technical specialists, a work budget, and mediation 
with accommodation and grants.

There are some fifty studios where resident artists work for one to 
two years on research, experiments, projects and production. 
Confrontation with diverse cultures and advice by internationally 
active artists, curators and others, promote the deepening, expansion 
and acceleration of artistic practice.

A period at the Rijksakademie has the greatest effect on an artists' 
career, three to five years of professional experience before 
applying.

Resident artists pursue every medium and technique: painting, 
drawing, graphics, photography, sculpture, video, film, sound and 
digital media. Artists can also explore links with other areas, such 
as architecture, theatre, music, literature and science.

Application
Each year approximately twenty-five artists are invited for a 
residency. Artists can apply for a residency from January to December 
2010 by using the online application form. The deadline for 
application is 1 February 2009.
