Meta Young Art Critics' Award
Meta Young Art Critics' Award,
Award for art critics and art writers
Deadline: 29 February 2012
The Meta Young Art Critics' Award is the first award scheme set up specifically to recognize the contribution made by art critics and art writers, and to encourage them at an early stage of their careers.
The contemporary scene of art production has long operated as a zone of indistinction, where entrepreneurial impulses reign and disciplinary boundaries become just another (post-)medium. Discursive practices such as writing and publishing are embraced by artists, while multi-tasking art critics curate exhibitions and develop performative sidelines to their textual habitus. The recent codification of 'art writing' likewise signals an admission that a 'third rail' has emerged, neither descriptive or prescriptive, neither academic or journalistic, between the art critic and the art historian. And of course the imprimatur of the art critic has been noted as in decline ever since the curator and the consultant came to dominate an ever-more globalised and market-driven art world.
Keeping this in our sights, the aim of the Meta Young Art Critics' Award is to focus on the imperative which rightly belongs to the critic and to the activity of criticism: to situate itself not simply above or beside the current field of production, but within it in order to grasp its conditions of possibility. The immanent role of the critic is in that sense less to interpret and more to reconstruct, in the words of Adorno, an 'exact imagination' that inhabits and extracts the principle of a work, wherever it starts and ends. We are establishing this award also out of curiosity: what is art criticism when it isn't operating at the service of something, be it institutional canons or marketing drives? How do we envision the act of judgment with relation to contemporary art practice, an act deprived of power and profit? Does it simply become a more intensely textual art practice among others and accompanying others, or does it have its own, cognitive, affective resources to structure the experience of art?
Submissions should be in English and can discuss one work, several works, a whole oeuvre, or a field of practice. Submissions should be no longer than 10,000 signs or 1400 words. The final date for submissions will be 29 February 2012.
The author of the prize-winning essay will receive 1000 CHF in prize money and essay will be published in the Spring 2012 issue of Parkett, which is represented in the jury for the Meta Award.

European Cultural Foundation, Open call for Collaboration grants
European Cultural Foundation - ECF,Collaboration grants
for independent cultural and artistic organisations
deadline: 02/05/12 - 17.00 CET
Our grants programme stimulates transnational cultural collaboration, artistic expression and the mobility of artists and cultural actors. Our various grants schemes relate to different ECF focus areas and to specific regions of the European continent. All of our activities revolve around the three strategic guiding principles:
i. Empowerment of people through art and culture
We want to support different communities in Europe and encourage the exchange and empowerment of underrepresented groups.
we are interested in:
• Diversity within our societies: projects that reduce exclusion and conflict by bringing people together;
projects that target new audiences and create new places for showcasing culture.
ii. Connecting sources of knowledge
We think sharing and connecting knowledge is vital in terms of creating an open Europe.
We are interested in:
• Transnational, cross-sectoral and cross-generational online and offline collaborations: projects that try out innovative and creative partnerships to develop/produce new work, broaden knowledge-sharing and public participation, as well as experimenting with new technologies.
iii. Linking policy and practice
We are interested in projects that help build this open Europe by contributing to cultural policy development locally, nationally, regionally and at a European level.
We are interested in:
• Impacting on European cultural policy: projects that actively contribute to policy and practice; that connect a local perspective to the European level; that bring cultural and political players together in new ways, and raise awareness and help prove the value of cultural policy.
Who is eligible?
• Lead applicant: must be an independent artistic or cultural organisation based in Europe.
• Partnering applicant(s): organisations from the cultural or other sectors based either in Europe or the Arab-Mediterranean region.
Further explanation of eligible countries for applicants:
• Lead applicants:
Europe: The project must be organised by a cultural organisation based in one of the following European countries, if you are a lead applicant: Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, San Marino, Serbia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.
• Partnering applicants:
Partnering applicants can be based in one of the above-mentioned European countries and/or in one of the following Arab-Mediterranean countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestinian Territories, Syria and Tunisia. (We encourage cooperation with this region, as long as the content of the project clearly relates to European cross-border cooperation.)
Further explanation of applicant’s eligibility
• Legal status and sector of organisations: the lead applicant must be an independent [non-commercial], cultural or artistic organisation. We also welcome cross-sectoral cooperation: the lead applicant can collaborate with transnational partners from the same field and/or from other sectors. In other words, the leading cultural organisation can decide to develop a partnership with, for example, an environmental organisation, an activist group, an academic body or a commercial organisation.
• Number of partners and countries: although bilateral projects (in terms of the number of participating countries) are eligible to apply, they are much less likely to be awarded a grant than projects with more partners. We like to encourage collaboration between a number of different partners. However, exceptions are considered if project partners can demonstrate a potential multiplier effect. Therefore, projects with at least three partners (one lead applicant + two partnering applicants) representing at least three different countries have a greater chance of being awarded a grant in comparison to projects with, for example, four partners representing only two countries (one lead applicant + three partnering applicants).
What is eligible?
i. Partnership working methodology
• Transnational collaboration in Europe is the key phrase for this grants scheme. Projects are selected first and foremost according to their transnational and collaborative aspects. We need to see the transnational collaboration reflected in your entire application form. This means that project partners must be involved in all aspects of the project: working together on the planning, the development and the realisation. This also implies that all partners must contribute financially to the project (note that we also consider in-kind contributions as eligible).
ii. Cultural and content focus and discipline
• The project should have a strong cultural objective and concrete outcome(s). By concrete outcomes we mean a variety of activities: the creation of artistic work, media projects or cultural policy development, including capacity building of cultural actors. Please note that, in assessing the applications within this particular ECF grants scheme, the collaborative creative process is as important for us as the final outcome of the project.
• Also, please note that we are reluctant to support projects focusing on staging, exhibiting or showcasing existing works, unless this is done in an innovative way. For example, a project involving three orchestras rehearsing and performing an existing classical piece would not be eligible for a Collaboration Grant. However, a project consisting of research about the social impact of photography in a certain period of time in a certain region of Europe and the resulting touring exhibition (of existing works) would be considered eligible.
• Your project could involve one or more of the following disciplines: music, visual arts, theatre, dance, short film and documentary making, photography, fashion and design, capacity building, architecture and urban planning or multimedia.
• If your project involves artists or experts, please note that their names must be confirmed and communicated at the time of the submission of the application. We do not support projects that plan to issue an open call for artists or participants. This information is important for us in order to be able to assess the (artistic) quality of your project.
iii. European dimension
We are looking for projects that are managed transnationally across Europe, as well as focusing on content with a transnational European dimension.
Projects (re)-interpreting Europe in an original way are especially welcome.
iv. Sustainability
• The project must have a clear end result that can be evaluated.
• Ideally, the project will be a starting point for sustainable cooperation between the partner organisations.
• Projects with confirmed locations/venues for final presentation of the end results are more likely to be considered.
Please note: organisations may participate once as a main applicant and once as a partner organisation within the same Collaboration Grants round. This means that an organisation maybe involved in a maximum of two different projects for the same funding round. Please bear in mind that being listed as a partner in more than two projects in the same grants round will jeopardise funding for all projects that include this partner, since all the applications will be excluded.
v. Timeframe
• Project activities must not start before ECF has made its funding decision. The decision will be made approximately five to eight weeks after the grant deadline (please check the exact planning for funding rounds on the ECF grants website section: http://www.eurocult.org/grants). It is acceptable for preparatory/ initial activities (e.g. preparatory meetings, fundraising, calls for artists etc.) to take place before the grant application is made. However, please note that ECF will only reimburse the costs of activities that are yet to take place (in other words, ECF cannot be asked to reimburse the costs of preparatory activities that have occurred before the ECF grants contract has been signed).
• The project must be completed within 18–24 months after the contract has been signed.
vi. Financial
• ECF can support up to 80% (maximum) of the project’s total budget. The lead applicant and the partnering organisations are expected to contribute to the project financially and to apply to other funders (ECF specifically welcomes the involvement of local/national funding partners, as we believe this helps to embed the project within the local/national context). This should be shown in the budget outline.
• ECF provides an average collaboration grant of Euro 15,000. The maximum grant awarded is Euro 30,000.
The grant is normally paid in two instalments: 70% at the beginning of the project and the remaining balance on receipt of the final narrative and financial reports.
• ECF may select your project, even if your remaining budget has not yet been secured when you are applying.
Payment of the grant will be conditional on the applicant securing 80% of the total budget at least one month before the activities take place.
• The budget (attached to the application) can only request a maximum of 20% expenditure on personnel costs. The exact details are to be found in the downloadable Excel spreadsheet in the online application form.
• ECF reserves the right to withhold 10% of the total grant awarded if ECF is not acknowledged according to its specifications detailed in the guidelines online (see http://www.eurocult.org/about-us/logos-and-banners).
What we don’t fund
Ineligible types of costs
• Operating costs of an organisation’s regular activities.
• Costs required for setting up or running a new organisation; (however, costs required for setting up new online or offline networks by existing organisations are eligible).
• Purchasing technical equipment (rental costs are eligible).
Nature of collaboration
• Organisations without committed transnational partners.
• Projects in which the partnering applicants do not contribute financially or with in-kind support.
• Projects lacking a European dimension.
Type of project applicants
• Projects in which the lead applicant consists of: student bodies, commercial organisations, state institutions, amateur organisations or organisations focusing primarily on education, religion or heritage.
• Independent cultural or artistic organisations applying more than once as lead applicant and/or more than once as project partner in a given grant round.
• It is not possible to apply for a Collaboration Grant if your organisation has an ECF-funded project running at the time of application, unless you have already submitted the final reports or plan to do so before the envisaged start date of the new project.
• Projects that rely entirely on ECF funding.
Focus of the project
• Activities that focus only on the academic sector or represent traditional approaches to research and education (e.g. school/university exchanges, scholarships, research or education programmes firmly located within a traditional institution).
• Institutional approaches to arts education or art therapy.
• Folkloric events and projects that focus on presenting or conserving ethnic, national or European heritage.
• Initiatives based solely on tourism.
• Artists exchange without a clear objective or plan for the end result of the exchange.
• Touring, exhibiting or showcasing existing works, such as (recurrent editions of) festivals, biennales and exhibitions, unless approached in an innovative way.
• Projects limited to the production of one time only/single occurrence events, performances or art works.
• Awards, competitions or residencies.
• Summer camps, summer schools and student exchanges.
• Independent literary works, translations or running costs of an ongoing series of publications or cultural reviews; (however, publications documenting your collaborative project may be included in your application).
How we assess the applications
After the deadline is closed, the eligible applications are first evaluated by the ECF grants team. The pre-selection is distributed among a group of external advisers from across Europe, each with different fields of expertise. Each proposal is assessed by two advisers independently of each other. After this assessment, ECF decides which projects it will support and how much funding will be granted, depending on the available budget.
Both awarded and rejected applicants are notified by e-mail around five to eight weeks after the deadline.
How to apply, application form and deadlines
You can apply online.
The Collaboration Grant scheme will only have one round in 2012. The application round for Collaboration Grants 2012 will be open from 09.30 (CET) 20 February to 17.00 (CET) 2 May 2012.

Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Grant Program
Robert Rauschenberg Foundation announces recipients for the inaugural round of its Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Grant Program
The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of its new Artistic Innovation and Collaboration grant program (AIC) to advance the values promoted by artist and activist Robert Rauschenberg during his lifetime and career. The AIC grant program is the first national competitive grant program for the Foundation. It propels the organization's philanthropic mission of cultivating, promoting, encouraging and supporting the production and exhibition of art.
List of Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Program grantees 2012:
Ballroom Marfa, Marfa, TX
To support "Carbon 13," a multi-disciplinary artistic investigation of issues related to climate change. Artist and project director David Buckland will work with participating artists Heather Ackroyd, Amy Balkin, Erika Blumenfeld, Antony Gormley, Dan Harvey, and Cynthia Hopkins on developing new works, and these works will be presented in an exhibition in conjunction with public programs as part of The Marfa Dialogues.
Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha, NE
To support "Town Hall," a project to design and develop a new cultural space and a residency program for local artists in North Omaha, the poorest community in the city. The project will be led by artist Theaster Gates and the Bemis Center and engage local artists and community members in strengthening North Omaha as a creative place.
The Drawing Center, New York, NY
To support the commission of three new multi-disciplinary works that illuminate links between drawing and the performing arts. The works will be showcased as part of the Center's Performance Series and staged in its newly renovated galleries. Artists include Susan Hefuna, Luca Veggetti and Morphoses; Rashaad Newsome; and Suzanne Lacy and Andrea Bowers.
Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA), Los Angeles, CA
To support the launch of HOLA's Public Art Project, a collaboration between HOLA and Otis College of Art and Design in which HOLA teaching artists Claudio Stickar, Gary Garay, Pearl C. Hsing and Patricia Yossen will work with other leading Los Angeles artists to engage youth in planning, creating and installing permanent installations in HOLA's Lafayette Park neighborhood.

Working with artists, scientists, urban planners and others, the project will establish 20 Hubs along Broadway, each of which will use visual art, text and cell technology to help passersby explore themes in PlaNYC—air, water, waste, energy and land.
North Dakota Museum of Art, Grand Forks, ND
To support the commissioning of artists Rena Effendi, John Hitchcock, Terry Jelsing, Adam Kemp, Mary Lucier and Tim Schouten to create work exploring life on North Dakota's mixed race, multi-cultural Spirit Lake Nation of the Dakota (Sioux) people. The project brings together artists from various disciplines and backgrounds, including Native Americans, to create work with and about a community that has minimal contact with contemporary artists.
Space One Eleven, Birmingham, AL
To support planning for (re)Moving Walls, a collaborative, multi-media project in which Birmingham-based artists will travel around the country and engage local artists in exploring barriers their communities face, such as economic disparities, race relations, and environmental degradation. The vehicle that the artists travel in will become the collectively created work, contributed to by artists along the way before returning to Birmingham.
STREB, Brooklyn, NY
To support "ESSENTIALIST ACTS," a multi-stage, multi-disciplinary artistic exploration of action, in which artist Elizabeth Streb will collaborate with Robert Woodruff, David Van Tieghem and Erik Pearson as well as members of the STREB company, to create large-scale works, including major public presentations in London as part of the London 2012 Festival of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
About the Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Program
The goal of the Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Program is to provide support for innovative projects in which a visual artist collaborates with one or more artists in any discipline to make a new work, advance a multi-stage artistic exploration or push forward a new artistic form, all in the spirit of Robert Rauschenberg. Grantees will be small and mid-sized cultural organizations with a strong track record of creative risk-taking, experimentation and identifying emergent talent, for whom the Foundation's grant will be significant in enabling them to achieve their artistic goals and leverage other resources.
Grants are generally in the range of 50,000 to 150,000 USD. This amount can be given over a period of one to three years. These creative initiatives may open the doors to new ideas that many people might not understand now but which will become increasingly relevant in the future.
"This grant program is rooted in the defining characteristics of Bob's legacy—fearlessness, innovative practice, cross-disciplinary exploration and collaboration among artists—and supports new work in a time when funding artistic experimentation is receding. We are delighted to be able to support projects that are pushing the boundaries of artistic practice and helping artists and cultural organizations investigate new territory," said Christy MacLear, Executive Director of the Foundation.
In 2011, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation invited 65 arts organizations across the country to apply for the inaugural grant cycle. After a competitive application process, nine grants, totaling 800,000 USD were awarded to a diverse group of innovative projects.
About the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation (RRF)
RRF was formed by Robert Rauschenberg in 1990 to promote awareness of the causes and groups close to his heart. Activities of the Foundation include managing the artwork, exhibition and scholarship of Robert Rauschenberg as well as the growth of the philanthropy programs which intersect art and issues central to Robert Rauschenberg's concerns during his lifetime. The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation's programs now include the new grant program for artistic innovation and collaboration and direct assistance for the advancement of art. The Foundation's Vision, Mission and Strategy are coordinated to promote the founder's values and ensure that all endeavors express the essence of Robert Rauschenberg's philosophy. www.rauschenbergfoundation.org

Proposals to the AIC program are made on an invitational basis, based on nominations by distinguished leaders in the field. Cultural organizations with annual budgets under 5 million USD that wish to be considered may send a brief statement (not more than one page) describing their overall artistic program and a project they believe to be in keeping with the goals of the AIC program.

About the Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Program
The goal of the Artistic Innovation and Collaboration Program is to provide support for innovative projects in which a visual artist collaborates with one or more artists in any discipline to make a new work, advance a multi-stage artistic exploration or push forward a new artistic form, all in the spirit of Robert Rauschenberg. Grantees will be small and mid-sized cultural organizations with a strong track record of creative risk-taking, experimentation and identifying emergent talent, for whom the Foundation's grant will be significant in enabling them to achieve their artistic goals and leverage other resources.
Grants are generally in the range of 50,000 to 150,000 USD. This amount can be given over a period of one to three years. These creative initiatives may open the doors to new ideas that many people might not understand now but which will become increasingly relevant in the future.
"This grant program is rooted in the defining characteristics of Bob's legacy—fearlessness, innovative practice, cross-disciplinary exploration and collaboration among artists—and supports new work in a time when funding artistic experimentation is receding. We are delighted to be able to support projects that are pushing the boundaries of artistic practice and helping artists and cultural organizations investigate new territory," said Christy MacLear, Executive Director of the Foundation.
In 2011, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation invited 65 arts organizations across the country to apply for the inaugural grant cycle. After a competitive application process, nine grants, totaling 800,000 USD were awarded to a diverse group of innovative projects.
About the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation (RRF)
RRF was formed by Robert Rauschenberg in 1990 to promote awareness of the causes and groups close to his heart. Activities of the Foundation include managing the artwork, exhibition and scholarship of Robert Rauschenberg as well as the growth of the philanthropy programs which intersect art and issues central to Robert Rauschenberg's concerns during his lifetime. The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation's programs now include the new grant program for artistic innovation and collaboration and direct assistance for the advancement of art. The Foundation's Vision, Mission and Strategy are coordinated to promote the founder's values and ensure that all endeavors express the essence of Robert Rauschenberg's philosophy. www.rauschenbergfoundation.org

About the Production Programme
The Sharjah Art Foundation Production Programme broadens the possibilities for the production of art in the MENASA region through a commitment to support innovation and excellence in artistic practice by encouraging risk and experimentation. This commitment places artists at the core of the Foundation's mission by offering grants and professional support for the realisation of projects selected from an open call for proposals.

ZOOart 2012 ITALY, OPEN CALL
ZOOart 2012 ITALY
deadline: 07.03.2012
Celebrating its eleventh edition, the international exhibition of contemporary arts will again present its unique format, with new propositions and collaborations to be added to the existing range of cultural events offered.
The exhibitions will take place as usual during the three first weeks of July in the Fresia Gardens, home of the ex-zoo gardens in the heart of the historical part of Cuneo city.
Also during this edition, the organiser’s intentions are to contaminate the public space with contemporary art works, giving the participating artists the opportunity to work within a specific site, the urban garden.
Based on these conditions, artists are invited to present site-specific works or design installations that fit the particular context of the Fresia Gardens (refer to the images below).
The chosen works will be presented in the exhibition areas within the Fresia Gardens during the hours of the evening.
With the hope of recreating a solid relationship between art and nature, this new season intends to proceed on the path taken during the last exhibition: the exploration of ecology. The exhibition will give special attention to works that deal with this burning topic with efficiency and sensitivity, an issue that is now more important than ever.
Due to the international nature of ZOOart, the selected artists may be invited to participate in workshops that will take place during the exhibition, these moments of exchange are an excellent opportunity to stimulate intercultural dialogue between artists of various origins, the local and non-local public and people working within the sector.
The new element for this year is the project ZOOart.local, born from the collaboration between the Cassa di Risparmio of Cuneo Foundation, which intends to support the young emerging artists within the Cuneo province and the association Art.ur. The new selection for the exhibition will act as a base for artist that are born, are residents of or are working within the Cuneo province to give incentive to and re-launch the activities of emerging artists within a territory that intends to sustain new creative expressions.
The international spirit of the exhibition is in no way sacrificed but rather continues to be the main aspect of the entire exhibition creating further dialogue between prestigious national and international art with the resources of the territory where ZOOart takes place.
We invite the artists that intend to participate to send a proposal that is in accordance to the conditions below.
art.2 conditions to participate in the ZOOart exhibition

Admission is accessible to the zooart.local category to artists who are under 40, born and/or residents and/or working in the Cuneo province within recent years.
The projects of these artists can only be in the form of paintings, photography, sculpture and/or installation of modest dimensions that can be potentially exhibited in a closed environment.
The projects of artists participating in the zooart.local category will be evaluated by a technical commission including a representative from the CRC Foundation. The selected works will be exhibited during ZOOart.

The works must not in any way subject the public, who frequent the gardens where the works are to be displayed, to any harm.

International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory,Call for Applications
International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory,Call for Applications
deadline: 03/02/12 - postmark
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.
Institution
Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen is a post-graduate center for production, research, exchange in the fields of visual arts and art theory. Within the framework of the International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, the Künstlerhaus provides a platform that facilitates the development and production of artistic and art-theoretical projects in a critical context. At the same time, Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen offers a forum for direct exchange between professionals – artists, theoreticians, critics, and curators – from the region and abroad, as well as a point of interaction with local interested audiences. Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen is affiliated with the Tyrolean Artists' Association, the major association of visual artists from the region.
Büchsenhausen brings together two programs under one roof. On the one hand, it is the site of the International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory. On the other hand, it is the location of several studios for artists based in Tyrol who require space for working in a professionally interesting environment. Three apartment studios are used by the participants in the fellowship program. The other six studios are available to artists based in Tyrol. The project and presentation space is equipped with multimedia facilities and is at the fellows' disposal. The space was designed by Atelier van Lieshout.
International Fellowship Program
With its Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, 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.
The program's aims are:
* to promote and relay a critical, socially relevant production of knowledge in art and art theory;
* to produce, through the fellowship projects, qualified discourses on art and society within the local and global contexts;
* to enable the transfer of knowledge between the field of art and other publics outside the art context;
* to facilitate the exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts and beyond (creating a network of experts).
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.
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.
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.
Fellowship
* a grant of EUR 3,150 to cover the costs of living during the period of residency in Innsbruck;
* an individual studio for working and living, furnished with a large shared kitchen;
* a production budget for the realization of the proposed project;
* a budget for inviting experts to Büchsenhausen for the purpose of professional exchange;
* the opportunity of a group exhibition at the end of the fellowship at the Kunstpavillon or Neue Galerie in Innsbruck.
Facilities
* free access to the 'Lab', the project/gallery space
* free use of the available multimedia production equipment in the 'Lab'
* free DSL/WLAN Internet access
* professional artistic advice
* technical advice if required
Eligibility
Professional visual/media artists, art theorists, art critics, and curators from all over the world are eligible for the fellowship.
Requirements
The candidates must submit a project proposal. Work on the submitted project forms the core of each fellow's activities during his/her stay in Büchsenhausen. A description of a series of public events intended to accompany the individual work during the duration of the fellowship (up to four events) is also an integral part of the project proposal. If the application is successful, the fellows are required to specify the details of the presentation series and carry out the proposed program.
The fellows declare themselves willing to be present at Büchsenhausen for the duration of the fellowship. Working knowledge of English is required.
Selection
The selection of fellows is made by a jury of experts and based on the quality, originality, and relevance of the project proposal and the work samples submitted by the applicants. The jury includes the director of Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen, a member of the board of the 'Tyrolean Artists' Association' and one external expert.
The selection procedure occurs in two stages.
In the first stage, the submitted applications are evaluated and the jury makes a shortlist of candidates who will be invited to Büchsenhausen for personal interviews.
The personal interview with the jury forms the second stage. For the interview, the applicants have to come to Innsbruck to personally present their working plans and aims during the fellowship.
Büchsenhausen will pay for accommodation in Innsbruck for one night, but cannot cover the costs for travel to Innsbruck. Alternatively, a video conference (for instance via Skype) is also possible.
There is no legal right to be awarded a fellowship at Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen. The jury is therefore under no obligation to justify decisions. The jury's decision will be communicated in written form in March 2012 (first stage) and April 2012 (second stage).
Application procedure
Applications are to be written in English or German. Applications must include the following documents:
* the project proposal (max 2,000 words, 3 copies)
* a visual portfolio/documentation of recent works (artists: max 2 catalogs, max 10 photos, 1 DVD or 1 CD-ROM; theorists/art critics: max 3 recent writing samples)
* a curriculum vitae (3 copies)
* the printed confirmation e-mail of the filled electronic application form
Find the postal address to which the applications must be posted below.

With its Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, 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.
The program's aims are:
* to promote and relay a critical, socially relevant production of knowledge in art and art theory;
* to produce, through the fellowship projects, qualified discourses on art and society within the local and global contexts;
* to enable the transfer of knowledge between the field of art and other publics outside the art context;
* to facilitate the exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts and beyond (creating a network of experts).
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.
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.
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.
Fellowship

* a budget for inviting experts to Büchsenhausen for the purpose of professional exchange;
* the opportunity of a group exhibition at the end of the fellowship at the Kunstpavillon or Neue Galerie in Innsbruck.
Facilities
* free access to the 'Lab', the project/gallery space
* free use of the available multimedia production equipment in the 'Lab'
* free DSL/WLAN Internet access
* professional artistic advice
* technical advice if required
Eligibility
Professional visual/media artists, art theorists, art critics, and curators from all over the world are eligible for the fellowship.
Requirements
The candidates must submit a project proposal. Work on the submitted project forms the core of each fellow's activities during his/her stay in Büchsenhausen. A description of a series of public events intended to accompany the individual work during the duration of the fellowship (up to four events) is also an integral part of the project proposal. If the application is successful, the fellows are required to specify the details of the presentation series and carry out the proposed program.
The fellows declare themselves willing to be present at Büchsenhausen for the duration of the fellowship. Working knowledge of English is required.
Selection
The selection of fellows is made by a jury of experts and based on the quality, originality, and relevance of the project proposal and the work samples submitted by the applicants. The jury includes the director of Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen, a member of the board of the 'Tyrolean Artists' Association' and one external expert.
The selection procedure occurs in two stages.
In the first stage, the submitted applications are evaluated and the jury makes a shortlist of candidates who will be invited to Büchsenhausen for personal interviews.
The personal interview with the jury forms the second stage. For the interview, the applicants have to come to Innsbruck to personally present their working plans and aims during the fellowship.
Büchsenhausen will pay for accommodation in Innsbruck for one night, but cannot cover the costs for travel to Innsbruck. Alternatively, a video conference (for instance via Skype) is also possible.
There is no legal right to be awarded a fellowship at Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen. The jury is therefore under no obligation to justify decisions. The jury's decision will be communicated in written form in March 2012 (first stage) and April 2012 (second stage).
Application procedure
Applications are to be written in English or German. Applications must include the following documents:
* the project proposal (max 2,000 words, 3 copies)
* a visual portfolio/documentation of recent works (artists: max 2 catalogs, max 10 photos, 1 DVD or 1 CD-ROM; theorists/art critics: max 3 recent writing samples)
* a curriculum vitae (3 copies)
* the printed confirmation e-mail of the filled electronic application form
Find the postal address to which the applications must be posted below.
