Künstlerhaus Büchsenhausen is affiliated with > the Tyrolean Artists' Association, the major association of visual > artists from the region. > > Büchsenhausen brings together two programs under one roof. On the > one hand, it is the site of the International Fellowship Program for > Art and Theory. On the other hand, it is the location of several > studios for artists based in Tyrol, who require space for working in > a professionally interesting environment. > > > Fellowship Program > > With its International Fellowship Program for Art and Theory, > Büchsenhausen promotes internationally relevant artistic production, > research, and discussion in the region of Tyrol. The program is > based on the idea of generating and maintaining a context for > production and discussion, in which artists and theorists can > connect and reflect on international art and societal discourses in > relation to local topics and issues. At the same time, it affords > the opportunity for an artistic laboratory of experimentation, where > new artistic practices and strategies may be tried out. > > The program's aims are: > * To improve the production of a qualified discourse on art and > society in the local and global context; > * To improve exchange between cultural producers in the visual arts > and beyond (creating a network of experts); > * To support and expand the critical, socially relevant artistic and > art-theoretical production of knowledge; > * To facilitate the transfer of knowledge between the art field and > the public outside the art context. > > The program brings together the advantages of a residency with the > possibilities of a postgraduate non-university lectureship, without > offering a formalized educational program. In terms of content, the > program addresses both the interested public in the region as well > as a worldwide public made up of professionals in the fields of > contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory and criticism. > > The fellows are selected by a jury of experts following an open call > for applications. They come to Büchsenhausen for one or two > semesters to work on realizing their submitted projects or research, > and accompany this process with public events. For this purpose, > Büchsenhausen offers a monthly stipend, a production budget, working > spaces, free lodging, and artistic and technical advice. > > The conveyance and discussion of the fellow's own work occurs > parallel to the development of the individual projects. The public > events take place in series. The focus of these series of events is > determined by the respective emphases of the various fellows' works. > Within the framework of this discursive format, the fellows (or > their guests) can present various points in their research, open up > their works-in-progress to critical discussion, interact with > experts who they invite, work through content with the public, and/ > or try out new ways of working. > > For former and current fellows and their projects can be found here > on this website under the menu item Fellows. > > > Eligibility > > Professional visual/media artists, art theorists, art critics, and > curators from all over the world are eligible for the fellowship. > > > Requirements > > The candidates must submit a project proposal.
