Passage AiR is Looking for Artists in Film and Photography

For the first two residencies of the “Passage” AiR programme in 2021, the Kultur- und Kunstverein Kemberg e.V. is looking forward to receiving applications from national and international artists from the fields of photography and film. The period for the two residencies is November 2021. Under the theme “Status Landscape”, the residencies are intended to enable an examination of the current situation of landscape and environment using the example of the Dübener Heide.

The following questions can serve as suggestions:

• What are the expectations towards a landscape?
• Which ways of perceiving a landscape arise during a temporary stay on site?
• What is the significance of a landscape as a resource for local recreation, economy and climate?

It is desired to have applications especially from artists who would like to explore new themes and the region of the Dübener Heide through a temporary residency and additionally try out familiar or unusual working methods in a sitespecific way.

Applications must be submitted informally by email to [email protected] by 30 August 2021.

Required details for the application are:

• first and last name
• a valid email address
• a pdf (max 15 MB). The pdf should contain information about the applicant's artistic work. This includes a CV and meaningful samples of work.

A minimum age of 18 years is required for participation in the application. There is no age restriction. There is no charge for the application. The artists will be selected by the Kultur– und Kunstverein Kemberg e.V. and two external jurors from the cultural and art sector. The jurors will be announced on the website. The selected artists will be informed by 14 September 2021. Detailed information can be found on the official call.
