SCIENCE & ART: STUDIOTOPIA INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL
The Studiotopia international program is open for the submission of proposals to the residency program for young scientists or emerging artists. LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial -in collaboration with other institutions- announces an international call for non-Spanish artists. Deadline to apply: November 7, 2024.
This residency program is an initiative aimed at fostering collaboration between the arts and sciences to promote sustainable development. This year, Studiotopia focuses specifically on the concept of the Symbiocene, a term coined by Australian philosopher and environmentalist Glenn Albrecht that envisions a future in which different species (human and non-human) interact through collaborations that bring mutual benefit.
This call is open to emerging and established talents from the arts, sciences and academia.
The STUDIOTOPIA project is promoted by 11 organizations, each of which offers a residency with a specific work theme.
The program is international in scope and offers two different types of residencies:
1. Open call for young scientists. Apply here.
This call offers a unique opportunity for ten young scientists to collaborate for twelve months with ten renowned contemporary artists. The residency is designed to facilitate a dynamic exchange of ideas, knowledge and methodologies, addressing a global challenge identified by the artist and the local challenge committee of the residency organization. Through this collaboration, young scientists will have the opportunity to broaden their research horizons and contribute to a high-impact interdisciplinary dialogue.
The nationality of the applicant scientist must not coincide with the nationality of the established artist.
2. Open call for emerging artists. Apply here.
Emerging artists can apply for one of eight residencies to work with an established scientist for one year. The framework of each collaboration is a challenge focused on local issues related to sustainable development.
The nationality of the applicant must not coincide with the nationality of the established scientist.
The residencies will take place in Spain, Poland, Romania, France, Slovenia, Ireland and Cyprus. Only one of the residencies may be applied for. Each of the residencies defines a specific “challenge” to work together with the institution and the scientist of the country.
