Artists from all arts disciplines are invited to apply for a fellowship, which includes a two-month residency in Athens during the months May and June 2024 and a two-month residency in Zutphen during mid-September-mid November 2024.
Accommodations available are fully equipped studio-apartments at the host organisation [sic] in the city centre of Athens and at Dat Bolwerck2, in the historical centre of the city Zutphen.
Successful applicants will additionally receive a total expense allowance of 8.000 EURO which is intended to cover travel costs/expenses, a visa (where necessary) and subsistence over the residency period.
Theme, the Fellowship prioritises proposals with a clear view on how the fellowship, including the residency period, is embedded in the overall artistic practice and discourse of the applicant. The proposal should outline how the artist will engage in meaningful interactions within the cities of Athens and Zutphen, and/or its institutions, and communities.
With the challenge of working in two totally different societies (a capital city in a Mediterranean country and a provincial Medieval city in the East of the Netherlands) the Fellowship gives a unique opportunity to start an artistic conversation between those two worlds.
Through the host organisations [sic] and Dat Bolwerck and their local networks, including arts venues (theatres, galleries, museums etc.), educational partners, and grass root initiatives, we aim the Residency to be embedded in the cultural and social fabric of the two cities. The project spaces offer possibilities for a final presentation of the outcomes as well as for research or collaborative works. The fellow’s needs for these possibilities must be indicated in advance, to enable us to discuss and if possible, facilitate these actions.
The Residency is supervised by Art Futures Research Fellow Georgios Papadopoulos and Artistic Director of Dat Bolwerck Marlise van der Jagt.
