INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM FOR ART AND THEORY AT KÜNSTLERHAUS
BÜCHSENHAUSEN 2012-13<br>
Call For Applications<br>
<br>
Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen invites visual and media artists, art
critics, theorists, and curators to apply for a fellowship in
2012–2013. Candidates can apply for one semester (October 1, 2012 –
February 15, 2013 or February 18, 2013 - June 28, 2013). The
fellowship can be split across two semesters.<br>
<br>
The closing date for submissions is February 3, 2012 (postmark).<br>
<br>
<br>
With its Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, Künstlerhaus
Büchsenhausen promotes internationally relevant artistic production,
research, and discussion in the region of Tyrol. The program is
based on the idea of generating and maintaining a context for
production and discussion, in which artists and theorists can
connect and reflect on international art and societal discourses in
relation to local topics and issues. At the same time, it affords
the opportunity for an artistic laboratory of experimentation, where
new artistic practices and strategies may be tried out.<br>
<br>
The program's aims are:<br>
* to promote and relay a critical, socially relevant production of
knowledge in art and art theory;<br>
* to produce, through the fellowship projects, qualified discourses
on art and society within the local and global contexts;<br>
* to enable the transfer of knowledge between the field of art and
other publics outside the art context;<br>
* to facilitate the exchange between cultural producers in the
visual arts and beyond (creating a network of experts.)<br>
<br>
The program brings together the advantages of a residency with the
possibilities of a postgraduate non-university lectureship, without
offering a formalized educational program. In terms of content, the
program addresses a worldwide public made up of professionals in the
fields of contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory, and
criticism.<br>
<br>
The fellows are selected by a jury of experts following an open call
for applications. They come to Büchsenhausen for one or two
semesters to work on realizing their submitted projects or research,
and accompany this process with public events. For this purpose,
Büchsenhausen offers a monthly stipend, a production budget, working
spaces, free lodging, and artistic and technical advice.<br>
<br>
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. The fellowship year ends with a
group exhibition curated by the director of the Fellowship Program.<br>
