Art residency / Cyprus 2019/2020

The Post-fossil Creature -residency program is meant for researchers, artists, artisans, makers and post-makers of research and implement theory, who are working on understanding the technological, fossil fuel generated, modern experience and/or imagining the period of transition to an ecologically sustainable post-fossil society.

The program is divided into two, three month long periods: May-July and September-November. Special residencies are also possible in the winter.

We aim to promote and facilitate artistic work and research in all disciplines.

The founding purpose of the residency program is to combine research with contemporary art. The aim is to extend the theoretical to the realm of experience and vice versa, searching for neglected and overlooked aspects that in turn can advance our understanding and research. Examples of areas of interest are:

– Theoretical, psychological and experiential critique of the dominant contemporary ideology, especially in relation to technology and ecology.

– Artistic practices on the social, psychological and political aspects of our ideological predicament.

– Artistic practices on biology, geology, ecology, otherness, fossil fuels, the Anthropocene and science.

– Artistic practices concerned with critique of technology, dismantling/reusing technology and social impacts of technology.
