A three-month hybrid program at Hangar, centre for art research and production in Barcelona, in cooperation with Pro Helvetia.
The program is open to Swiss artists working in artistic disciplines supported by Pro Helvetia. Two artists will be selected via the open call. Applicants’ art practice should involve technological or digital aspects, either in the media used or in the underlying concept. To be eligible, artists must be firmly embedded in the Swiss cultural scene and be Swiss citizens or permanent residents of Switzerland.
The two selected artists will receive a grant for a three-month residency, split between one month of online activities and two months on-site in Barcelona (Hangar). The first month will serve to draw up a work plan to optimize the resources available for the project chosen, to arrange a set of studio visits and interviews with persons and institutions that may be of interest to the chosen artist, and to set up a support plan for the artist’s processes. During the two months on-site, the artists will then be carrying out their research project.
Funding: For these three-month residencies, each artist will receive a grant of CHF 3,000 net, daily allowances for the time in Barcelona, and production support amounting to CHF 1,500.
Duration: The residency lasts for three months, running from 1 May to 31 July 2024. Participants will spend the first month online and the last two months in Barcelona.
