Call for Entries - Casino Luxembourg, International Artist-in-Residence Programme in the Public Space
Deadline for applications: 16 February 2016 at 4 p.m. (GMT+1)
In 2017, Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain will host the second edition of its international residence programme in the public space.
The residence programme is designed so as to provide a maximum flexibility for the working artist and to offer the best possible conditions with regard to the realisation of each project. To get acquainted with Luxembourg's public space, a first visit of Luxembourg will be scheduled in autumn 2016 for the laureate. Subsequently to this visit, the laureate will be requested to develop a first outline of his/her project for Luxembourg. The residence period will be fixed according to the very specific needs of the project (maximum of 12 weeks).
Eligibility
The residence progamme is open to all individual artists or collectives wishing to develop their practice in a professional context by creating a new work. Applicants are free to choose their means of artistic expression but must have accomplished a master degree in arts (or equivalent) by the beginning of the residence, or, for non-degree holders, must give documented proof of at least a three-year work and exhibition practice. Participants should be fluent in either English, French or German. All applicants must hold a valid visa for the duration of the residence.
Selection procedure
A jury of experts will select the candidate for the residence to be held in 2017 based on the quality of the work and the applicant's potential to use the residence to maximum benefit. The selected candidate will be informed of the jury's decision via email by the end of June 2016.
The jury
The 2017 jury members are Anna Loporcaro, in charge of the cultural programme at Mudam (LU); Sabina Lang, artist, Burgdorf (CH); Stéphanie Delcroix, curator and art critic, London (UK); Kevin Muhlen, artistic director, Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain (LU) and Christine Walentiny, residence curator, Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain (LU).
Budget
Casino Luxembourg will provide financial and technical support and will be in charge of implementing the artist's project to a maximum cost of EUR 15,000. The participant will be accommodated in a centrally located, self-sufficient flat in Luxembourg city. Casino Luxembourg will take over the artist's travel costs to and from Luxembourg and will pay 500 EUR for 14 days towards general expenses. The participants will receive an artist fee of EUR 2,500 that will be paid at the end of the residence.
