The Hangar centre for art research and production in Barcelona, the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) and the Tabakalera international centre for contemporary culture in Donostia/San Sebastián are now accepting applications for grants for the RACOR cross-artistic research residency programme.
The research residency programme is open to artists working in any creative discipline anywhere in the world who are carrying out an art research project which, due to the medium or language used or the concept on which it is based, in some way involves the technical and scientific world.
The selected artist or group will receive a grant to carry out a cross-residency split between Barcelona (Hangar and CCCB) and Donostia/San Sebastián (Tabakalera). The residency will last two and a half months, with five weeks in each city.
Between the announcement of the result of the call in April 2023 and the start of the residency programme in October 2023, the three institutions (Hangar, CCCB and Tabakalera) will draw up a work plan to optimise all their resources for the project chosen for the residency and plan a set of studio visits and interviews with agents and institutions that may be of interest to the chosen artist, as well as a carefully designed support plan for their processes.
The organisers cover:
- The chosen participants will receive from the organisers:
- Fees: €2500 gross.
- A research/production grant of up to €1500 gross. This will include the cost of public presentations, which shall be designed by the artist on the basis that they provide research settings open to the public.
- A travel allowance of up to €1000 gross.
- Up to €1500 gross for living expenses.
- Accommodation and 24/7 work spaces at Hangar and Tabakalera, including the use of both centres’ resources.
- Research support and technical advice.
- Health insurance where required for non-EU residents.
