OPEN CALL: K.A.I.R RESIDENCY FOR ARTISTS FROM WROCLAW AND LOWER SILESIA IN POLAND.
Culture Zone Wrocław in cooperation with K.A.I.R. Košice Artist in Residence invites visual or interdisciplinary artists from Wroclaw and Lower Silesia to take part in a seven-weeks residency in Košice, Slovakia.
We are searching for a visual or interdisciplinary artist from Wroclaw and Lower Silesia, who would like to deal with the theme of Interconnectedness which highlights the need for contemporary society to be aware of its links with the environment beyond its own region, state or nation, but also beyond the human species. On the one hand, it is the impact of rich regions on developing countries on environmental, economic and political issues. On the other hand, focusing on anthropocentric humanism leads to the creation of a line between human and animal.
The artistic project that we will select through the open call should reflect some of the related issues through the visual art or its overlap into scientific disciplines, sound art, new media or performance:
What do we need to do to ensure the rights of all, including animals?
What can we do to protect this generation and the next generation?
How should we consider setting up personal values?
How should government, institutions, law or international relations respond?
At the same time, we are also interested in the individual experience and emotional impact - fear and anxiety, ecological grief, etc. Only individuals are eligible to apply for the residency.
Selected applicant will receive accommodation and work studio, artist fee in the amount of EUR 600,00 gross monthly, budget of EUR 200,00 for production, refund of travel expenses to and from Košice. We also offer participation in a meeting with the audience during Open Studio Nights, organization of presentations or workshops during the stay and an exhibition at the end of the residency.
