Residency Programme
OPEN CALL FOR APPLICATIONS LIVERPOOL BIENNIAL
The European Biennial Network is inaugurating its Residency Programme.
In the following months, the member Biennials of the European
Biennial Network will be issuing Open Calls for residency
positions. Liverpool Biennial will be offering one of these
residencies.
The European Biennial Network is a collaborative structure, active
in the field of contemporary art, that aims to promote dialogue,
interaction and collaboration between contemporary art Biennials in
Europe. It intends to use the knowledge, experience and wealth of
information accumulated by organisers of large-scale periodic art
events, in order to support the communication and mobility of
artists and art professionals.
The Residency Programme of the European Biennial Network aims to
offer to successful applicants the opportunity to conduct original
research on contemporary art in a major city, while supported by
the organisers of a biennial exhibition. The knowledge and
experience of the host and its relationship to the specific
locality will provide the resident access to the local art scene,
historical records, archives, academic collocutors, and any other
support necessary for research.
Each member Biennial of the European Biennial Network is
individually responsible for the resident it will host. The
position for which this Open Call is made is the following:
One three-month residency for an artist/writer/urbanist hosted by
the Liverpool Biennial, between 1st May 2009 to 30th August 2009.
Residency position requirements: Liverpool Biennial is inviting
proposals for a 3-month residency periodthat focuses on the
interaction of art in local neighbourhoods particularly on the
relation between imagination and a sense of place. The candidate
will be based alongside residents in north of the city and conduct
his/her project in a manner that recognises residents as the first
audience.
North Liverpool is subject to large-scale regeneration programmes
with enormous impact on the build environment and social life. The
candidate will be expected to fully engage with these issues in
relation to the visual arts ecology of the city.
The outcome of the research/project will be presented as part of
Urbanism 2009, a project initiated by Liverpool Biennial along the
Leeds-Liverpool canal for September 2009.
Applications must be made for the specific residency position. The
successful applicant will be selected by the Liverpool Biennial.
(Please see Application Guidelines below.)
The successful applicant will be offered travel to and from their
host city and accommodation, as well as a stipend of 1.000 euros
per month. Additional funds for equipment and/or transport of work
may be available, depending on the specifics of the residency.
Upon completion of the residency, the resident will be required to
produce a text, outlining the basic parameters of his/her research,
which will be used for publication by the European Biennial Network.
Application Guidelines:
Applications must be made by cv and a letter of interest (max. 500
words). There is no special application form.
In the letter of interest, the applicant must clearly outline how
he/she intends to respond to the requirements of the position.
Applicants may be requested to provide further clarifications and/
or additional material, during the selection process. This will not
constitute any indication as to the success of the application.
