BEYOND MATTER RESIDENCIES
\nTallinn Art Hall, Tirana Art Lab Center for Contemporary Art, and the Hertz-Lab of the ZKM I
\nCenter for Art and Media are jointly calling for European art practitioners \/ theoreticians to
\napply for one of three production residencies taking place in Karlsruhe, Tallinn, and Tirana.
\nWhat Are the Residencies About?
\nThese residencies are within the framework of the long-term project Beyond Matter, and will
\nbe hosted by three of the partner institutions: Hertz-Lab of the ZKM | Center for Art and
\nMedia Karlsruhe, Tallinn Art Hall and Tirana Art Lab Center for Contemporary Art. On site,
\nthe residency fellows will develop an artistic production or theoretical concept that takes as
\nits starting point the core questions of the Beyond Matter project. How can virtual reality tools
\nand digitization contribute to developing artistic practices that question materiality and offer
\npossible ways to shift the discourse into other dimensions like experience, visualization,
\nimagination, sensory perception, atmosphere, or spirituality? How can artistic practices using
\nvirtual reality contribute to current political and social discourses? What is the potential of
\nvirtual reality within the art field? And how can virtual reality serve as a media basis for
\novercoming physicality and temporality in order to create something new based on today’s
\npossibilities? What can VR stand for? Virtual Reality, Variable Relations, Vertical Radiation,
\nValid Readings, Vaporous Restoration, Visible Revision? With this residency we invite
\napplicants to consider not only the multivalent applications of the latest representational
\nsystems, but also how they can be expanded. The future applications must be conceived as
\nversatile as their fields of application are constituted. That is why the search is not for one
\nanswer, but for many solutions.<\/p>\n
Who Do We Want to Reach?
\nThe residency provides artists and theoreticians working in the field of contemporary art from
\nthe EU and the Associated Countries with the opportunity to live and work in Karlsruhe,
\nTallinn, or Tirana for a period of two months. We want to stress expressly that not only
\ncultural producers who work in the field of virtual media are being invited to apply, but all
\nartists and theoreticians with variations of artistic and theoretical outcome. Project proposals
\ndeveloped in relation to and conversant with the local realities at each of the locations will be
\nprioritized. The residents will have access to the local institutional infrastructures and each
\nresidency will result in a statements presentation.<\/p>\n
What Do We Offer?
\nFor the two-month stay each location offers the residents particular resources and opportunities:<\/p>\n
Hertz-Lab of the ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe: Workshops (wood, metal,
\nelectrical), dark projection room, set-up areas for larger installations, green screen studio,
\nsound studio with multichannel audio projection, and a volumetric capturing system available
\nby appointment.<\/p>\n
Tallinn Art Hall: Opportunity to hold workshops, sessions, and\/or seminars related to the
\noverall themes of the project and in particular on the challenges with the latest XR
\napplications, networking opportunities, research support, support for regional travel, space
\nfor workshops and seminars.<\/p>\n
Tirana Art Lab Center for Contemporary Art: Research and production of artworks engaging
\nwith the overall themes of the project and involving public space\/interventions in public space
\nrelating to the city of Tirana using Extended Reality technologies.<\/p>\n
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting travel restrictions for which no
\nuniform European regulation has been adopted so far, please be aware that the
\nphysical stay during the residency period may have to be postponed. Thus for the
\napplication at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe we are also offering the
\npossibility of applying with an online project instead, that does not have to be
\nimplemented on site, but could be shown on a hosted virtual exhibition platform. The
\nplatform is a virtual replica of the so-called Museum Balcony, a feature in the
\nexhibition space at ZKM | Karlsruhe. Therefore, we encourage you to respond sitespecifically.
\nPlease note that the implementation will be done by a coder, whose work
\nwill be paid for out of the production budget.<\/p>\n
What Costs Does the Residency Cover?
\nEach residency is fully funded and includes travel, accommodation, a stipend, and production
\ncosts. More detailed information upon request.<\/p>\n
