Weltmuseum Wien - Artist in Residence

Weltmuseum Wien announces a call for applications for an artist in residence who will stay in Vienna for two months within the frame of the European project SWICH – Sharing a World of Inclusion, Creativity and Heritage.

Weltmuseum Wien is searching for a project that comments on contemporary issues the museum is dealing with such as migration, colonial past of museum collections, cultural diversity and transnational identities in Vienna or new forms of collecting in a post-migrant society. What are – in this context – the missing pieces and untold stories at the museum? Weltmuseum Wien aims at working with an artist who researches similar questions in his or her art practice and can thus engage into a fruitful artistic dialogue with the institution.

Duration January - February 2016
Deadline for applications Sunday, September 13, 2015
The decision of the jury will be communicated until mid October 2015
