BAC, Baltic Art Center in Visby, Sweden; The Factory of Art and Design (FFKD) in Copenhagen, Denmark and Hordaland Art Centre in Bergen, Norway jointly invite professionals within the field of visual art to apply to our new Collaborative Research Residency.

The Collaborative Research Residency offers one month residencies spring 2011 for research groups of three collaborators where at least one has a contemporary visual arts background (artist/curator/art critic). The programme encourages new relationships and should be seen as a chance to try out different types of collaborations, which may have an inter-disciplinary character. We welcome applications from research groups of three people, where a minimum of two people are based in or coming from the Nordic and Baltic countries.

This residency programme is a pilot project, and differs from our other residency programmes in two ways: it focuses on collaborative rather than individual practice, and it emphasises the research phase.

The application should outline the initial research idea, how you imagine the collaborative research process, as well as a clear motivation for why you wish to collaborate and how you see that your respective practices can enrich each other.

In 2011 we offer residencies to three groups of three people each to stay for one month in one of the three host institutions. A stipend of €1400 per month for each person, travel costs up to € 1000 for the group, accommodation and a studio or office facility will be provided. €500 will be allocated to each collaborating unit for expenses associated to their research.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE

The application should include: a description of the initial idea, an outline of the imagined process and a clear motivation for the collaboration. A minimum of two applicants must be from any of the Nordic or Baltic countries, or be professionally based in any of these countries. Please see www.crresidency.net for detailed information.

Application deadline: 1 February 2011 for one month (30 consecutive days) residency
BAC: March-June 2011/ FFKD: April-June 2011 / HKS: either April or May 2011.
