Call for artist in residence projects, Ptarmigan project space,
Helsinki. Deadline: 15 May
Ptarmigan project space (Helsinki, Finland) is
excited
to announce a new residency programme for artists and cultural workers
from the Baltic and Nordic regions (excluding Finland). We are seeking
proposals from individuals and collectives who work to expand
traditional structures of art and cultural production in creative and
innovative ways.
Residencies will last for approximately two months each, taking
place from July - December 2010. Our residency programme focuses on
dialogue and exchange between visiting artists and the Helsinki-based
audience. Preference will be given to proposals that respond to
location, community and the environment. We encourage applicants to
propose projects that include artist talks, workshops or other community
based activity.
The residency offers: * A studio/working space - this may
also function as a gallery space for exhibition of work, a seminar room,
meeting place, or workshop space. High speed internet. * Full
kitchen facilities
* Accommodation in a nearby apartment (within walking distance from
the studio) * A stipend to cover subsistence costs * A
materials budget * Travel costs to and from Helsinki
Applications
are open to artists who reside in the Nordic and Baltic countries
outside of Finland. This covers Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and the autonomous areas of the Faroe
Islands, Greenland and Åland.
Deadline is the 15th of May and decisions will be advised in early
June.
