Earthwise Residency, in Mols, Denmark, is calling for applications from Europe-based artists and researchers for their Curious Encounters 3 residency. Each residency is for two collaborating working partners: One artist and one researcher / specialist. The interdisciplinary collaboration between artist and researcher should address the theme of multispecies relations and the more-than-human.
The residency will take place from 8 October – 2 December 2024. (The second call for Curious Encounters 4 will be announced in September and take place the spring of 2025.)
During the residency period, the residents are asked to do the following:
- Hold a minimum of two dissemination events, workshops or ‘artist/researcher talks’ for the local community.
- Hold a final event or showing of the project process.
- Continually document their project process and share this documentation with Earthwise during or by the end of the residency.
- Post-residency disseminate findings from their collaboration on the level of academic and artistic research which is available for the residents.
- Save the dates for Earthbound Symposium in late August 2025, where they may invite the residents to present their findings.
Curious Encounters 3 is looking for performing artists and visual artists with an interest in time-based work and performance who already have an initial contact to or an ongoing collaboration with a researcher. The researcher/specialist should be actively engaged in research processes and hold a master’s degree, preferably a Ph.D. degree. The researcher/specialist may have a background in the Humanities, Social Sciences or STS (Science & Technology Studies). The artist, emerging or mid-career, must investigate the more-than-human through primarily visual or performing arts.
The residency provides working space, accommodation, a stipend of 4,700 EUR for each of the two persons, a small budget for materials, and part of the travel costs to encourage participants to travel by road, railway, or sea (the transport funding will be allocated based on transport type and distance). Space for partners/children can be negotiated.
