Dear friends,
I am sharing with you the news from Arts@CERN with some very exciting
opportunities for Swiss artists and creators to spend some time with them,
CERN - the world's largest particle physics laboratory in Geneva and birthplace
of the World Wide Web, is inviting for a Swiss artist, or an artist living or
born in Switzerland to apply for a place for a fully funded 3-month residency
and a grant at the laboratory.
There is a fixed bursary, which includes a 15000CHF stipend, funded by Pro
Helvetia and is part of our Collide@CERN Residency.
The deadline is February 27th and here is the link to the page with the details
for applying.

And another one about the first Swiss artist who came on the residency in 2012,
and has created a dance piece that has been touring the world since 2013:

I would be so grateful if this could be spread through your practice and your
networks to anyone you think would adore this.
We really want a fabulous artist to come to CERN and to have their imagination
and technical skills blasted by our theories of time and space, as well as the
technology used for research.
A one day visit to us in February 2014 by one of our Visiting Artists, the
fashion designer Iris van Herpen, inspired her so much that her based her
whole spring/summer collection shown at Paris last year was inspired by CERN
magnets and magnetism.
