Linden-Museum Stuttgart: Artistic Research Residency

The Linden-Museum Stuttgart invites applications for an eight-week artistic research residency for an artist interested in working with the museum’s collections and exhibitions. The residency will take place at the museum in May and June 2023 and is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.

The residency will take place within the framework of the Taking Care project and will be themed ‘Care in a World We Share with Others / Caring in a Precarious World’.

In line with this thematic focus, the resident is encouraged to examine the relationship between ecological crises and resulting precarity, and the challenges faced by multicultural societies and communities struggling for cultural survival. The resident is invited to engage with the museum’s collections and exhibition spaces and interact with museum audiences.

• Residency funding of 4000 EUR.
• Honorarium for completed artistic project/research result amounting to 4000 EUR.
• Costs of materials used in the residency project (up to 2500 EUR on presentation of appropriate receipts).

• Access to the exhibitions, collections, and the library of the Linden-Museum.
• Assumption of travel and accommodation costs (costs for one return trip to Stuttgart from within the European Union as well accommodation costs in Stuttgart will be covered by the museum).
• Potential public presentation of the completed project at the museum (exhibition, performance, presentation, event, etc.).

What they expect:

• Experimental, interdisciplinary artistic-activist engagement with the exhibitions, collections, and the thematic focus of the Linden-Museum.
• Creation of an artistic work drawing from the residency.
• Performance of a lecture/workshop based on the residency project.
