Arts and Science Residency at the Niels Bohr Institute
The Center of Gravity at Niels Bohr Insitute AiR
Description

The Center of Gravity (CoG) at the Niels Bohr Institute (NBI) is a Center of Excellence where we strive to understand the gravitational interaction and the cosmos. The CoG is a hub for new ideas on the foundations of physics.

They are currently inviting proposals for artist residencies of up to three months that engage with the research of the Center of Gravity. The residency welcomes original, bold, and ambitious proposals. Projects may take various forms across artistic disciplines, including visual arts, music, literature, and others, provided they engage with themes such as black holes, gravitational waves, and the concept of time.

They are offering up to two residencies (running in parallel or not) which include the following:

1. A three-month residency hosted by the Center of Gravity at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark.

2. For applicants from outside Copenhagen, we cover travel costs and accommodation expenses for the duration of the residency.

3. Depending on needs, and on a case-by-case basis, a stipend may be offered to help cover production expenses.

4. A participative residency: regular meetings with scientists to discuss the artist’s project/work.

Outcome

Artists in residence will be expected to actively engage with the Niels Bohr Institute and its community in a manner that encourages a mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and expertise. At the end or after the residency, we expect a legacy. The organisers would appreciate if the artist is able to present a piece of work, which may take the form of a donated artwork or performance or a musical piece. They expect a public, external, artist-led exhibit to be coordinated by the successful candidate.
