Fresh perspectives! Art – Culture – Science – in dialogue with sustainable development policy: artist in residence (Germany)
Federal Environment Ministry and Federal Environment Agency invite applications for 2017 artist-in-residence programme on the Isle of Vilm.
Can art and culture advance the transition to a sustainable, future-proof society? Can ecological concerns be incorporated into artistic practice and cultural concepts? As part of a research project, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB) and the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) are inviting applications for a new artist-in-residence programme. The residency comprises six weeks on the Isle of Vilm near Rügen and is aimed at artists working in the fine arts, including performance art, installations, photography, literature and music. The residency is scheduled to start at the beginning of June 2017. A high-profile jury will select the artists-in-residence from the submitted applications.
The artist-in-residence programme includes free accommodation in the International Academy for Nature Conservation on the Isle of Vilm. Single and double rooms with internet access are available in nine well-equipped guesthouses. The selected artists will receive a living allowance of 1,400 euros gross per month during their residency, plus a one-off payment for travel expenses to and from the Isle of Vilm.
Deadline: 17 March 2017
