tranzit.at: Open Call Artists-in-Residence 2025

The Artist in Residence Programme at MuseumsQuartier in Vienna is part of ERSTE Foundation’s long-term endeavour to support contemporary art and to strengthen the fragile situation of its creators, especially in the region of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe.
The residency programme is carried out in close cooperation with ERSTE Foundation's key cultural partners: tranzit, Igor Zabel Association and Kontakt Collection (Kontakt Collection will collaborate with the Zagreb based WHW Akademija.) Thus, the residencies are aimed at artists and curators from Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia working in the field of critical contemporary visual art to do research in their respective area.
Taking into consideration the urgencies raised by the ongoing war against Ukraine, we would like to express our solidarity and add a grant of a two-month stay for a participant from Ukraine.
The research character of the residency should make it possible to take a break from strenuous situations, from everyday production pressure and find time to concentrate on a specific interest. The participants are given the opportunity to live and work in one of the MuseumsQuartier studios right in the heart of Vienna. The apartments offer both living and working space, but do not provide room for large-scale artistic works. During the stay various meeting possibilities are offered to the participants.

Each residency grants a monthly stipend of EUR 1.300,– plus a one time travel grant of EUR 300,– (non-EU: EUR 500,–).

Artists and curators from Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovak Republic and Slovenia, as well as from Ukraine, are invited to take part in the open call. Accepted candidates are required to use the residence in its full length during the following fixed periods:

for Ukraine: January – February 2025
for Slovak Republic: March – April 2025
for Hungary: May – June 2025
for Croatia: July – August 2025
for Romania: July – August 2025
for Czech Republic: September – October 2025
for Slovenia: September – October 2025

Applications are accepted only if complete, in English and by e-mail until: 15.09.2024 (midnight).

Together with its cooperation partners from tranzit.at, tranzit.cz, tranzit.hu, tranzit.ro, tranzit.sk, Igor Zabel Association and Kontakt Collection/WHW Akademija, ERSTE Foundation forms the jury to select the participants.

Everyone eligible is invited to take part in the open call.
