Artist-in-Residence Programme at Q21/MuseumsQuartier in Vienna

CALL for APPLICATIONS 2021

The call is open between 21 October – 6 December 2020.

Duration of residency: 2 months

The Artist-in-Residence Programme at Q21/MuseumsQuartier in Vienna is part of ERSTE Foundation’s long-termed endeavour to support contemporary art and to strengthen the situation of its creators, especially in the region of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. The residence program is realized together by tranzit, Igor Zabel Association and Kontakt Collection. Kontakt Collection will collaborate with the Zagreb based WHW Akademija.

The residencies are designed for artists, curators and theoreticians from Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia working in the field of contemporary visual art to do research in their respective area. The research character of the residence should make it possible to take a break from the everyday strenuous production pressure and find time to concentrate on a specific interest. The participants are given the opportunity to live and work for the period of two months in one of the Museums Quartier studios right in the heart of Vienna. The apartments offer both living and working space, but do not provide room for large-scale artistic works.

During the stay various meeting possibilities are offered to the participants. Each residence grants a monthly stipend of EUR 1.050,-.

Together with its long-time project partners from tranzit.cz, tranzit.hu, tranzit.ro, tranzit.sk, Igor Zabel Association and Kontakt Collection/ WHW Akademija, ERSTE Foundation forms the jury to select the participants.
