Fluid Materialities Artistic Research Artists in Residence, 3 February – 10 May 2025 in Trier, Germany, is now calling for applications.
Fluid Materialities emphasises the interconnectedness of all life forms, asks about the agenda of non-human beings, listens to the stories of things and materiality, and creates space for collective consideration and reflection on coexistence and diversity in an ever-changing future. The project is seeking contributions that embody these acknowledgements in their artistic practice.
The programme is hosted by transdisciplinary artist Marie-Luise Meister, funded by the European Union and supported by the Goethe-Institute. Marie-Luise Meister has a professional background in theatre and project management, focusing on media arts, writing and composing with a body-based research practice. Collaborators on this project include the Department of Art and Design at the University of Applied Sciences Trier, curator and co-founder of the Collective Rewilding Sabina Oroshi (a.o.).
The residency fosters a collaborative environment for the exchange of diverse knowledge, insights, and sense of intuition. The site-specific nature of the residency allows for immersion in Trier’s historical and architectural vibrancy, as well as its rich natural environment of mountains, rivers and waterfalls, to work on individual artistic threads of Fluid Materialities. The residency culminates in a public presentation.
This call is open to Europe-based artists and researchers who are not registered in Germany.
