Encura II: Open call for two research residencies

Hangar Barcelona in association with Curators’ Network is offering two fully-funded one-month-residencies in Barcelona, Spain. They will take place from November 14, 2016 – December 18, 2016 and from January 18, 2017 – February 19, 2017.

The call is free of charge and open to all curators and researchers who currently do not live and work in Catalonia.

The successful candidates will have the opportunity to work with the artist residents at Hangar Barcelona. They will also have the occasion to research the wider artistic context of Barcelona and Catalonia as well as to establish networks and dialogues with other local and international cultural agents.

Eligibility

The call is open for all cultural agents who as part of their practice habitually work with artists, from a free-lance or institutional perspective (curators, researchers, art writers, …).

There is no age limit.

Applicants should currently not reside in Catalonia.

Only one application per person or collective permitted. Curatorial collectives have to assign one member as the resident.

The call seeks especially for participants who work with a high level of excellence, but do not yet have a consolidated international career, as one of the primary goals of Curators’ Network is to promote art-professionals who are still not well known in a larger international context.

Applicants should feel comfortable engaging in artistic discussions in English.

Costs

Hangar will provide the following for each residency:

• In and outbound travel (up to 300 €)
• Honorary (1185 € before taxes)
• Accommodation (own bedroom in a four-room house located at Hangar residency space)
• A working space and internet connection (Please bring your own laptop as no computer will be provided)
• A production budget of 400 € per artist (1600 € overall) which will be collectively defined among resident, artists and Hangar production team.
• Technical assistance for the activities that the candidates will undertake during their residency.
