For the 2022 ‘Passage’ Artist-in-Residence programme, the Kultur- und Kunstverein Kemberg e.V. is calling for photography- and film-based applications from both national and international artists. There are two residencies available for June 2022, with one residency awarded to a female artist who is also a mother.
Under the theme ‘Status Landscape’, the residencies are intended to enable an examination of the current environmental condition of the landscape of the Dübener Heide, a Natural Park in the East of Germany. The following questions can serve as suggestions: What are the expectations towards a landscape? Which ways of perceiving a landscape arise during a temporary stay on site? What is the significance of a landscape as a resource for local recreation, economy and climate? Passage encourages applicants to consider exploring new themes related to the region of the Dübener Heide through a temporary residency. They also encourage artists to consider using familiar and unusual working methods in a site-specific way.
One residency is reserved for a female artist who is also a mother. In this way, Passage would like to make it possible for mothers to bring their child with them for the duration of the residency. The Kultur- und Kunstverein Kemberg e.V. will make every effort to provide the necessary infrastructure for this e.g. to arrange child friendly accommodation and temporary childcare. It is possible to bring your partner for the duration of the stay. Additional costs arising from this (e.g. travel and accommodation costs) are to be paid by the artist themselves.
Funding from Passage comprises:
- The arrangement and assumption of the costs for accommodation for the artists in the Dübener Heide for the duration of the four-week stay in June 2022
- The assumption of travel costs for arrival and departure up to a maximum of 500 EUR.
- A one-time grant of 1000 EUR.
- The assumption of the costs of transportation during the residency up to a maximum of 250 EUR.
- For the female artist-parent, the assumption for travel costs of the child and temporary childcare for the duration of the stay up to a maximum of 500 EUR.
