At Georgernes Verft in Bergen stands what was once Norway‚s largest sardine
factory. This has been transformed into the country‚s most multifaceted
cultural center - USF Verftet, the cultural house. USF is short for United
Sardine Factories. On a 12.000 square meter floor, art and culture is
created, organised and expressed in various forms and genres. About 300
people spend their days working at USF Verftet ˆ fine artists, musicians,
actors, writers, dancers, craftsmen, filmmakers, architects and people
working with design and multimedia.
The Council of Bergen and Stiftelsen Kulturhuset USF offers a residency to
professional, foreign artists, writers, directors, dancers, musicians, stage
performerers and composers. The residencies for fine artists and crafts
artists are open only to non-Nordic citizens. Artists from the other art
fields may be citizens of one of the Nordic countries, except Norway.
Through Artist in Residence we wish to inspire increased contact between
artists in Bergen/Norway and artists from other countries.
The offer consist of a 3 months residency at USF Verftet in a rent free studio and additional accommodation. However, living costs, travel, materials, insurance and transport costs must be covered by the artist.
Artists who wish to apply may submit their cv, portfolios, and other supporting documents before 1st of May 2004. Artists also need to submit a clear, concise proposal of works to be developed during the residency.
