>
> Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen invites visual and media artists, art
> critics, theorists, and curators to apply for a fellowship in 2010–

> Institution
>
> Kunstlerhaus Buchsenhausen is a post-graduate center for production,
> research, exchange in the fields of visual arts and art theory.
> Within the framework of the International Fellowship Program for Art
> and Theory, the Künstlerhaus provides a platform that facilitates
> the development and production of artistic and art-theoretical
> projects in a critical context. At the same time, Künstlerhaus
> Büchsenhausen offers a forum for direct exchange between
> professionals – artists, theoreticians, critics, and curators – from
> the region and abroad, as well as a point of interaction with local
> interested audiences. Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen is affiliated with
> the Tyrolean Artists' Association, the major association of visual
> artists from the region.
>
> Büchsenhausen brings together two programs under one roof. On the
> one hand, it is the site of the International Fellowship Program for
> Art and Theory. On the other hand, it is the location of several
> studios for artists based in Tyrol, who require space for working in
> a professionally interesting environment.
>
>
> Fellowship Program
>
> With its International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory,
> Büchsenhausen promotes internationally relevant artistic production,
> research, and discussion in the region of Tyrol. The program is
> based on the idea of generating and maintaining a context for
> production and discussion, in which artists and theorists can
> connect and reflect on international art and societal discourses in
> relation to local topics and issues. At the same time, it affords
> the opportunity for an artistic laboratory of experimentation, where
> new artistic practices and strategies may be tried out.
>
> The program's aims are:
> * To improve the production of a qualified discourse on art and
> society in the local and global context;
> * To improve exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts
> and beyond (creating a network of experts);
> * To support and expand the critical, socially relevant artistic and
> art-theoretical production of knowledge;
> * To facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the art field and
> the public outside the art context.
>
> The program brings together the advantages of a residency with the
> possibilities of a postgraduate non-university lectureship, without
> offering a formalized educational program. In terms of content, the
> program addresses both the interested public in the region as well
> as a worldwide public made up of professionals in the fields of
> contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory and criticism.
>
> The fellows are selected by a jury of experts following an open call
> for applications. They come to Büchsenhausen for one or two
> semesters to work on realizing their submitted projects or research,
> and accompany this process with public events. For this purpose,
> Büchsenhausen offers a monthly stipend, a production budget, working
> spaces, free lodging, and artistic and technical advice.
>
> The conveyance and discussion of the fellow's own work occurs
> parallel to the development of the individual projects. The public
> events take place in series. The focus of these series of events is
> determined by the respective emphases of the various fellows' works.
> Within the framework of this discursive format, the fellows (or
> their guests) can present various points in their research, open up
> their works-in-progress to critical discussion, interact with
> experts who they invite, work through content with the public, and/
> or try out new ways of working.
>
> For former and current fellows and their projects can be found here
> on this website under the menu item Fellows.
>
>
> Eligibility
>
> Professional visual/media artists, art theorists, art critics, and
> curators from all over the world are eligible for the fellowship.
>
>
> Requirements
>
> The candidates must submit a project proposal. Work on the submitted
> project forms the core of each fellow's activities during his/her
> stay in Büchsenhausen. A description of a series of public events
> intended to accompany the individual work during the duration of the
> fellowship (four to six events) is also an integral part of the
> project proposal. If the application is successful, the fellows are
> required to specify the details of the presentation series and carry
> out the proposed program.
>
>
> Selection
>
> The selection of fellows is made by a jury of experts and based on
> the quality, originality, and relevance of the project proposal and
> the work samples submitted by the applicants. The jury includes the
> director of Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen, a member of the board of the
> 'Tyrolean Artists' Association' and one external expert.
>
> The selection procedure occurs in two stages. In the first stage,
> the submitted applications are evaluated and the jury makes a
> shortlist of candidates who will be invited to Büchsenhausen for
> personal interviews. The personal interview with the jury forms the
> second stage. For the interview, the applicants have to come to
> Innsbruck to personally present their working plans and aims during
> the fellowship.
