OPEN CALL FOR CURATOR-IN-RESIDENCE 2022-2023 | CIR PROGRAM
\nApplication Deadline: Mar 15, 2022 | Notifications: Mar 31, 22 | Interviews Apr 2022
\nThe CIR residency will start on April 22, 2022. <\/p>\n
Kunstraum is a community for artists by artists, aiming to redefine the way artists and curators collaborate. For the Curator-in-Residence 2022-23 we seek a self-starter with an innovative and ambitious mind who thrives from creative freedom, will assume a leadership role, and has an interest in working within an established artist-run gallery. The CIR\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mission is to bring a unique curatorial vision to the program – designed to spotlight their curatorial practice within New York\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s art world by facilitating engaging exhibitions and events.<\/p>\n
The CIR is responsible for directing the gallery programming at Kunstraum for 10 months. During the residency, they will have the opportunity to present their position through two curated exhibitions – Kunstraum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s annual members\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 show, followed by an independent exhibition of their own. In addition, the CIR will lend their support to two guest curator projects with the help of Kunstraum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s team. Kunstraum will provide $5000 in exhibition funding for the CIR\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s independent exhibition show. The CIR is expected to tap pre-existing relationships to press, foundations, art fairs, curators, and collectors to provide additional support and resources to the independent show. The Kunstaum annual members\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 show will be at Kunstraum\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gallery space in Brooklyn. It is hoped that the CIR\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s independent show could be located at a venue in Manhattan, and that the CIR will devote energy and resources to locating a venue for the show.<\/p>\n
