receive a private apartment in the center of Prague for a period of up

the participation of artists, curators and researchers from various

<p>Through the Agosto Residency Program, the Foundation seeks to create a
context, not restricted solely to artists, for those active in the
cultural realm to step outside of their usual frames of reference and to
reach across disciplines. The aim is to facilitate, support and
maintain a general platform for engaged, creative, adisciplinary (not
oriented toward any one discipline) and exploratory projects. A special
focus will be on artists and specialists whose work has crossed (or
implies the crossing of) the boundaries of their fields (visual art, new
media, sound art, experimental music, literature, etc.) Other
interdisciplinary collaborations or cooperations are welcome to apply,
as well.</p>

<p><strong>Review Criteria: </strong>Applications will be evaluated by

with respect to the following criteria:</p>
<p>• The degree to which the proposed project falls in line with the
mission of the Agosto Foundation and the declared objectives of the
residency<br>
