*Akademie Schloss Solitude* is happy to announce its 17th call for
applications for its international and interdisciplinary
artist-in-residence-program.
The name Akademie Schloss Solitude unites the belief in artistic,
scientific, and societal exchange with the notion of a refuge, a credo
which underlays the construction of the Schloss Solitude from the very
beginning. Residencies at Akademie Schloss Solitude enable fellows to
devote themselves to their research projects under favorable material
and intellectual conditions. For them, the Akademie Schloss Solitude
becomes a transdisciplinary learning unit, a platform for communal
learning outside the formal educational system, a place which is open to
a broader and more diverse public.
By experimenting with artistic research practices and new formats, the
Akademie aims to change societal processes and to stimulate
intergenerational discourse.
More than 1,400 artists from more than 120 countries have developed and
advanced projects at the Akademie since its opening in 1990, creating a
close-knit, global network of Solitude alumni that expands from year to
year. It is essential for the self-conception of Akademie Schloss
Solitude that fellows of all spheres of practice are enabled to work and
research free of daily pressures and presentation deadlines. Besides the
realization of numerous public events, the online platform /Schlosspost/
allows international visibility of fellows and their projects.
International artists are invited to apply from the following spheres of
practice: *Visual* (visual arts and media), *Aural & Physical* (music
and performing arts), *Digital *(digital art, gaming, digital
journalism, digital publishing), *Spatial* (architecture and design),
*Textual* (literature and language),*Societal* (education, mediation,
theory),*Scientific* (humanities, social, natural and economic sciences.)
For the first time in its 30-year history, Akademie Schloss Solitude is
expanding its profile with the addition of a *thematic call. *In
cooperation withKfW Stiftung
<https://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=541889&N=25219&L=169030&F=H>,
Akademie Schloss Solitude is launching the new program with the specific
content-related focus *"Mutations"*. To foster transdisciplinary and
transcultural dialogue between the arts, sciences and society, young
professionals from all fields are invited to engage in this topic in a
focused group conversation. The 9-month program aims to encourage
critical reflection and artistic production as well as encounters across
disciplines.
*Who can apply?*
International artists, scientists, and cultural professionals are
invited to apply for fellowships in the spheres listed above. The
candidates should not be older than 40. Applications from students
enrolled in degree programs will not be considered. Applications of
artist groups are possible. The main language is English.
The decision regarding the fellowships’ allocation is taken by
independent specialist jurors responsible for the various spheres.
Fellowships are usually awarded for a period between six, nine or twelve
months.
The Solitude fellowship is a residential fellowship. Fellows are obliged
to spend at least two thirds of their fellowships at the Akademie.
The fellowship includes the following benefits:
A free, furnished living/working studio including electricity, water and
heating,
A monthly fellowship grant of EUR 1,200,
Travel expenses for arrival and departure (on a one-time basis).
