A Place to Breathe AIR

Horb, Germany

Well-being. Our artists' house offers many perspectives: concentrating on your own artistic work. No rent to pay for studio and flat (only a flat rate for operating costs). Take advantage of exhibition and action opportunities in the region. Solo or together with other artists. Up to three years. This is unique in Germany. Even in the case of the neighbouring Franciscan convent, the initiators were convinced that the historical building could only have a future if it was filled with life. In the case of the artists' house, too, it was originally "merely" a matter of monument protection - but then the idea of a domicile for creative minds emerged. The benefit for Horb: exchange between "foreigners" and locals, constructive togetherness, sometimes also "turmoil" in the best sense. Freelance artists from all areas of the visual arts can apply for a studio flat for a maximum of three years. The dates on which places become available are announced by the sponsoring association via the professional associations and this website. The selection is made by the artistic advisory board after an initial review by the Förderverein.

Association Françoise pour l’œuvre contemporaine

Paris, France

Launched in by the Françoise Association and the Cité internationale des arts, this research and creative residency programme explores the links between contemporary art, psychiatry and the humanities. Conceived as an open research space, this programme is not a therapeutic programme. It is open to artists of all nationalities whose practice resonates with the notion of the ‘clinical’. This refers to a situated approach, as close as possible to the subject, ‘at the patient’s bedside’. Within the context of the residency, this approach shifts towards the artistic field: creation is envisaged here as a grounded, relational practice, attentive to the contexts in which it takes shape. The programme thus promotes approaches that remain as close as possible to real-life narratives and experiences, and which engage in a reflection on the challenges of care. The laureate will receive bespoke support from Albertine de Galbert, a clinical psychologist and exhibition curator, and from the programme’s partners. **Residency report** * Ongoing documentation: online logbook, newsletter * Personalised support and follow-up * Public events: open studio halfway through the project * Final presentation (exhibition, public event or publication), to be agreed with the winner and the partners

While all artists are encouraged to apply, we are specifically seeking artists with ancestral ties to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and/or Mohican Nation and artists who live or work in New York State Canal communities. The Residencies will focus on a year-long creative inquiry into the New York State Canal System – including the historic Erie Canal – reflecting on its past, contemplating its current condition, and considering its future. These Residencies are for Artists who wish to engage with the Canal and adjacent Canalway Trails, Canal Corp. and Museum staff, Canal facilities, New York’s Canal communities, and Canal visitors. The Residencies will be dedicated to projects that reflect upon the Canal’s physical, environmental, and social condition and history; materiality; and context. The Artist’s project must directly address the Canal. Applicants shall propose a specific creative visual project for their Residency that must be able to be exhibited in a gallery setting. The subject of the project shall be identified by the applicant, but proposals must be a creative inquiry of the Canal and consider a fuller, more complete account of the Canal’s past, present, and future than what has traditionally been told. The applicant shall identify their target audience(s) and how their project will be shared with that audience and with the public-atlarge. While studies of Canal communities are encouraged, the Canal and its context must be central to the project. Projects may focus on key areas of the Canal or the entire system. The New York State Canal System includes 524 miles of navigable waterways and 365 of multi-use trails. Artists should consider that scale when developing their proposal. **Residency Structure:** Two (2) Artists will be selected for Residencies in .

Schindler Scholarship logo

Schindler Scholarship

Los Angeles, United States

The MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna, is going to award a total of six scholarships for residency at the Mackey Apartments, Los Angeles, in /. These scholarships are open to four free-lance artists, two advanced students of architecture (“2. Studienabschnitt”), and graduates of architecture immediately after completion of their degree. The involvement of the MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts / Contemporary Art with Rudolph M. Schindler’s work began with one of the first exhibitions held at the new MAK in 1986 entitled R. M. Schindler, Architect, 1887−1953, which was the first time his œuvre was shown in Austria. This important exhibition revealed how little known this Austrian architect’s buildings were not only in his home country but internationally as well. When in winter 1991 the MAK explored what was left of Schindler's buildings in and around Los Angeles, it quickly became obvious that the situation had changed very little in the meantime. Retracing Schindler's steps led to La Jolla, to the Pueblo Ribera built in 1923/1925 and now heavily damaged, which was in the way of the developers, to his abandoned Kings Road House, which had once been the architect’s home and studio, to Silver Lake, where some of his “most elegant” villas can still be seen, and to Newport Beach, where the icon of the Lovell Beach House has been altered by later additions. The encounter with R. M. Schindler in L.A. turned more and more into a “commitment” towards the voluntary exile and, thus, into an opportunity for Austria, the country that had lost and exiled thousands of people. This was the starting point for the idea of an initiative that would not only encourage the preservation of R. M. Schindler’s buildings but—and perhaps even more importantly—also continue his vision in order to promote and influence today’s art and architecture. In 1994 the MAK Center for Art and Architecture was founded and its main activities in the first few years were the coopera
