Residencies 2011
The Swiss artists-in-labs program will sponsor 4 residency awards in 4 Swiss science laboratories from March 1, 2011 to December 1, 2011 for Swiss artists. The Swiss artists-in-labs research group works towards a bridge between the practices of art and science and wishes to contribute new experiences towards the research discourses in this field.
Artists who are interested to apply for a residency term, are required to submit a full proposal, which includes the specific lab, they wish to attend. Proposals should be related and relevant to research already taking place in the scientific lab, including the production of prototypes or concepts for further development at the end of the nine-month period. Total immersion is recommended, as a scientific lab researcher will be employed to teach the artist about the research or to actually collaborate with the artist.
Conditions of Participations
Swiss artists as well as artists who have lived for the last 5 years in Switzerland or who are married to a Swiss person are eligible to apply. Two collaborating artists can also apply for a Swiss science lab award. One of the artists must be Swiss citizen.
Application Deadline: September 1, 2010 Extended Deadline: SEPT, 13, 2010
The application materials must be sent by post as well uploaded to the online platform. Late arrivals cannot be processed.
