VISIT

The VISIT programme of the RWE Foundation promotes young artists by offering them a free space for pursuing individual design work. At the invitation of the Foundation, the selected artists develop their respective project over a period of about six months. Depending on the topic, this takes place at a German or also possibly an international location of the company. The artistic work should have an explicit reference to RWE, the topic of energy, and its social relevance. The objective of the programme is to initiate a reciprocal involvement between the company and artists. Interdisciplinary approaches and switching perspectives promote the understanding of different lines of thought and help us to learn from one another.

If you want to inform yourself in advance about RWE, the tasks and responsibilities of the company and, for example, its various sites, please visit the Website.

Requirements

The RWE Foundation promotes young artists. The programme is geared to artists from Germany and the rest of Europe, with a focus on countries where RWE is present with an employed staff.

Preference is given to the use of electronic media, i.e. the fields of photography, video/film or also web art.

A jury decides which of the artists who apply shall be given the opportunity to work for up to six months within the RWE corporation. In 2014 Tobia Bezzola (Director Museum Folkwang), Mischa Kuball (artist and Professor at the Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln) and Andreas Beitin (Director ZKM | Museum of Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe) will make the decision. The fellowship holders receive a subsidy for living costs of 1,000 euros per month for a maximum of six months. Furthermore, the RWE Foundation takes over any production costs. The artists subsequently present the results of their work in the company and at external venues. A catalogue will also be issued for those who cannot visit the exhibition.
