The > newly inaugurated Research Residency Fellowship seeks to make the festival’s > archive resources accessible as part of its mission to place the history of > steirischer herbst in dialogue with contemporary academic work. The > fellowship supports and encourages innovative scholarly, creative, and > interdisciplinary inquiries into the festival’s practices and history. It > supports and encourages new perspectives and readings of its legacy. > > Festival Archive > The archive includes a press archive, a media archive with over 1,300 media > files, a file archive, and a reference library holding over 3,000 > publications from the 1960s to the present. Most files are not digitized and > in German. > > Fellowship Start and Duration > Applicants can choose between a three-month fellowship starting July or > August and a one-month fellowship starting September or October 2022. > > Support > Fellows receive a monthly stipend of € 1,500 as well as a monthly > accommodation allowance of up to € 500 for the duration of their fellowship. > Travel to and from Graz for the residency is covered as well. Fellows able to > commute will receive a monthly commuting compensation instead of the > accommodation allowance. The festival works collaboratively with a network of > institutions in the city that the fellow is introduced to throughout their > stay. > > Thematic Angle > Due to the festival’s extensive history and its interdisciplinary character, > the archive provides insight into a wide range of topics. Research topics > could therefore include: > the cultural politics of postwar Austria > art and politics in Austria and Eastern Europe from 1960s to today > art in public space > the politics of media and technology in art > the history of contemporary curating in visual arts, performance, and theater > Applicants must send a research proposal in line with one of the topics > listed above or propose a different topic that can be investigated on the > basis of the festival’s archives and resources. > A historical overview of the festival is provided at: > https://archiv.steirischerherbst.at/en/ > <https://steirischerherbst.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f4d9abb684390d669c129b22&id=64de666d72&e=5df77b52db>. > > Application Criteria > The fellowship application is open to all individuals, based in Austria or > elsewhere. A knowledge of German is not mandatory but will likely prove > advantageous when working with the archival material. > Applicants are asked to submit a short written proposal in English or German > of up to 500 characters as well as a more extensive 750-word proposal > providing a synopsis of their project. This proposal should explain how > research in the archive is beneficial to their work and describe how the > festival’s history relates to their scholarly or artistic pursuits. > Applicants should include statements about how they envision the research > contributing to their work and thoughts about ways it might manifest in > future projects. > They should also include a CV with links to publications, relevant websites, > or digital projects. > > Application Evaluation > Applications are evaluated based on how clearly the case for research in the > archive is made, including how this research will enhance the applicant’s > practice. Applicants are encouraged to explore lesser-known facets of the > festival’s long history. Research inquiries that pay attention to > contemporary art’s embeddedness in broad political and social contexts will > be given preference. > > Fellowship Expectations > Recipients are required to produce a work for publication on the festival’s > website. It can take the form of a text, image, audio, or video file (or > combination thereof) that gives some introductory insights into their initial > findings and/or direction of their research.
