Our fellowship programme in association with the documenta archiv and the Kunsthochschule and University of Kassel provides an opportunity to explore a wide range of historical and art historical, interdisciplinary and international aspects of the documenta exhibition and gain new insights into art production as well as networks that have been created. The fellowship programme seeks to contribute new perspectives on the Western European and North American art canon.
We provide a €2,000 monthly stipend for six months of research into the documenta in Kassel, as well as assistance in applying for a visa, finding housing, dealing with German bureaucracy/paperwork, and researching the documenta archives. The two fellowships will be carried out from 1 June 2023 to 30 November 2023. As possible, the research stay should begin latest on 15 June.
