OPEN CALL: Artist-in-residence for artist from Iceland, Finland or Lithuania
OPEN CALL
Artist-in-residence, production and exhibition in Gothenburg for artist from Iceland, Finland or Lithuania.
AIR Konstepidemin would like to invite an artist from Iceland, Finland or Lithuania. We are looking for an artist who is interested in communicating and connecting with the local art scene in Gothenburg. The selected artist will be offered to exhibit at Galleri Konstepidemin along with a Swedish artist. The local Swedish artist will be selected in the way that corresponds with the resident artist’s subject and artistic practice to establish a close collaboration. The artist-in-resident will be offered a program specially designed for the artist’s needs. This could mean that the artist makes a public presentation/lecture or get’s studio-visits by curators, artists or other professionals. The selected artist also has the possibility to co-curate lectures connected to the subject they are working with.
AIR Konstepidemin will support one artist from Iceland, Finland or Lithuania with a three-month scholarship (1500€/month), travel expenses, accommodation, studio, some project funding and local networking. The artist will stay in a furnished live-work space at Konstepidemin cultural center in central Gothenburg.
Residency period: September – November 2018
Application: Please send a project description (maximum one page) about your project along with six documentations of your artistic work and a CV. If you wish to send moving image work, please send links. Send the application in pdf format (no more than 10 A4 pages) to air(at)konstepidemin.se (e-mail subject: Artist-in-residence, production and exhibition). We only accept digital applications.
Application deadline: 15th of April 2018. The jury’s decision is made public in May 2018.
About Konstepidemin & Gothenburg
Konstepidemin is an artist run organization, which comprises 130 artists’ studios, three galleries, an artist-in-residence program, a restaurant and more. Konstepidemin is originally an old Epidemic Hospital built in the late 19th century, located up on a hill, which creates a calm feeling of isolation from the rest of the city even though it is situated in central Gothenburg and close to parks, amenities, galleries, museums and just a five-minute walk to Gothenburg Botanical Gardens.
Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden and situated on the west coast. Gothenburg is a coastal city with Sweden’s largest university campus, an important harbor and big industries. The city has a long history of a strong underground art scene and artist run galleries. Sadly, Gothenburg is one of Europe’s most segregated cities, which clearly is visible in the art scene. At Konstepidemin we are working to change this, with a lot of small funding’s, we slowly make progress and have therefore been focusing on related subjects the past years.
