Art residency in Germany

Deadline: 20 January 2020

The programme is aimed at international artists whose work relates to the historical disciplines represented at the Bauhaus and the subsequent developments of these core disciplines – among them painting, product design, textile design, music, theatre, performance, architecture and photography.

The Bauhaus Residency comprises three different possibilities for participation: an Open Call, which is addressed to artists who are part of an artist collective and which is hosted by the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation together with the GfZk – Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig; a group of invited artists and authors; and a Shared Residency for young musicians with the Kurt Weil Fest GmbH.


The Open Call is aimed at artists working collectively (2 to a maximum of 5 people). Of particular interest are works that engage and reflect on social contexts in novel ways as well as other approaches to modernity. In the spirit of the programme’s emphasis on the fictional (that is, the shaped, formed and invented), the main focus will be on a critical examination of the working process itself. Therefore, we are looking for innovative ways of presenting the processes of art making and development. A connection to the 2020 theme of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation: “Habitat” is desirable. “Habitat” conceives of habitation as a cultural practice, thus distancing itself from modernist understandings of housing as a universally applicable ‘living machine.’

Preferred time of residency (22 April – 14 July or 1 September – 31 November)

No entry fee

Residency offers:
- Living and work space in the Muche / Schlemmer House
- An expense allowance for three months of 4,800 euros in total
- Opportunities for giving presentations and performances and engaging in discussions during their stay
- Support in their research work, in organising events along with technical assistance and public relations activities
- Public presentations of their work in the Gropius House for a period of up to 6 months

Art residency grants

Deadline: 19 June 2019

This module aims to reflect on the notion of the ritual, its current meaning and practice. In the last years many disciplines (religion studies, anthropology, philosophy, art, socio-biology) have approached the ritualistic and its role in making ‘visible’ a certain order in a specific context, in showing ‘the proven way of doing something’ which is the etymology of the word. As Catherine Bell says, ritualization is “a way of acting that is designed and orchestrated to distinguish and privilege what is being done in comparison to other, usually more quotidian, activities”.


UNIDEE is the higher educational programme for art and social change of Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto. Weaving together moments of interdisciplinary research, knowledge sharing and practical activities, the objective of the programme is to provide the participants with inspiration, motivation and instruments to activate or develop artistic initiatives based on the engagement of local ecologies. Open to artists and professionals from all over the world through residential dynamics, the programme intends to form “artivators”, i.e. people working at the boundaries between artistic practices, processes of social change and collaborations with communities outside the art world.


Residency period: 14th – 20th July 2019

Residency grants include:
– Participation to the residential module Rituals of the contemporary mentored by Fiamma Montezemolo;
– Full board;
– Accommodation (single room, shared bathroom facilities – for 8 nights);
– Medical Insurance (accidents only);
– Use of a shared studio space and workshop facilities.
