In collaboration with Borderland Residencies, IKOB – Museum für Zeitgenössische Kunst launches an open call for a three-month artist residency in Eupen, Belgium (September – December 2024). They are looking for proposals that seek to use this time and space to develop a project on the theme of the SUPERNATURAL.
Departing from an open understanding of the supernatural and its possible interpretations, the residency invites artists to connect with the region through an exploration of the unseen, the mystical, and the otherworldly. They are looking for projects that aim for a direct engagement with local (hi)stories, the natural environment or geographical particularities through the lens of the supernatural.
The residency offers the opportunity for an artist to broaden their practice through the development of new research and to expand their network as part of the Borderland Residencies framework. They are looking for an artist who can benefit from this specific opportunity and context.
The selected artist is requested to be present in Eupen during the three months of the residency (September – December 2024) and take part in Borderland Residencies field trips and other activities. The artist is invited to give an artist talk at IKOB during the residency and they will be supported and mentored by the IKOB team.
The languages spoken at the residency are English, German, French.
IKOB provides:
- Accommodation that includes a workspace (the workspace cannot accommodate messy/dirt-producing production, the total size is 65 m2)
- A fee of 2,250 EUR incl. tax
Artists with partners/children are welcome, but it needs to be discussed beforehand.
