Current Call:
Akademie Schloss Solitude is happy to announce the start of the call for applications for its international and trans-disciplinary artist-in-residence-program. The call for approximately 65 residency fellowships from 2024 to 2026, of six to twelve months in duration, runs from September 1 to November 30, 2023.
International artists are invited to apply from the following spheres of practice: VISUAL (visual arts and media), AURAL & PHYSICAL (music and performing arts), DIGITAL (digital art, gaming, digital journalism, digital publishing), SPATIAL (architecture and design), TEXTUAL (literature and language), SOCIETAL (education, mediation, theory), SCIENTIFIC (humanities, social, natural and economic sciences.
Outcome
In favor of supporting the constantly changing nature of digital online work, and promoting experimental approaches, they do not prescribe the format in which applicants choose to present their work. Yet, the Digital Solitude program provides web space for each web resident and hosts and distributes their web-based projects within a given frame. In addition, the program works with a web designer/UX designer and programmer who can assist in implementing the project. In addition to presenting and sharing projects online, the program is currently working on offline formats related to the call. This could be a listening session, a panel, an exhibition, or a curated program in fall 2023, to be defined more precisely with the web residents’ working group. They encourage the applicants to consider the accessibility of the users, who may range in age, race, gender, economic class, and ability.
Studio Information
