Brno Artists in Residence in collaboration with Vašulka Kitchen Brno / 
Open Call 2023

Brno Artists in Residence and Vašulka Kitchen Brno is pleased to 
announce the commencement of an international Open Call for artists or 
theoreticians working in the field of new media for the autumn term of 
15 September 2023 through 15 November 2023.
Please send your applications by 28 February 2023.

Brno Artists in Residence (BAiR) has been receiving artists-in-residence 
since 2016 and is a key constituent of the Brno House of Arts conceptual 
framework. A top floor of the House of the Lords of Kunštát has been 
refurbished to accommodate the residency program, providing facilities 
for the accomodation and work by artists in three studios.
Center of New Media Art - Vašulka Kitchen Brno (VKB) was established in 
2018 as a place for research, artistic experiment and informal education 
in the field of new media art. It consists of the archive of Woody and 
Steina Vašulkas and a permanent exhibition of their selected works. VKB 
organizes events and supports new media art production aimed at 
commemorating and developing the artistic and philosophical legacy of 
the Vašulkas, pioneers in new media art with personal ties to Brno.

General Information on the Residency Program

The VKB residency program serves to build on the legacy and oeuvre of 
the Vašulkas by reflecting contemporary approaches and discourse. We 
offer various platforms for the exchange and development of discussions 
on the historical and contemporary form of new media art and its 
application in the interdisciplinary field of Art and Technology. The 
Brno Artists in Residence and Vašulka Kitchen Brno support the 
realization of diverse contemporary artistic projects and favor 
collaborative approaches that reflect plurality and openness.

VKB's 2023 resident will be granted access to our Center of New Media 
Art, its digital archive, reference library, and be provided the 
opportunity to present their work to professional and public audiences. 
Residents are encouraged to cooperate with our institutional partners 
including the Faculty of Fine Arts, Technical University of Brno and the 
Theory of Interactive Media, Masaryk University. We encourage applicants 
in the development of projects that include the involvement of local and 
regional experts in technical and scientific fields.

The resident will be selected through an open call review by a committee 
of Vašulka Kitchen Brno association members. Applicants should be active 
artists or theoreticians in the field of new media art with a genuine 
interest in exploring the nature of their medium in addition to the 
possibilities that it lends the subject of their inquiry. The VKB 
resident is encouraged to present their work to the professional and 
general public in the form of a presentation, lecture, discussion, or 
exhibition at the Vašulka Kitchen Brno gallery.
