etc. gallery announces an open call for RESIDENCY for artists, curators, theorists or academics who focus on theoretical or practical research and production of the moving image.

etc. gallery systematically supports the work of contemporary artists working with the moving image, provides professional reflection on the medium and contributes to the improvement of its institutional background. In 2024, for the first time, it offers residencies with the aim of developing the contemporary discourse concerning moving image art. 

The aim of the residency programme is not to create a new audiovisual or theoretical work, but to offer an opportunity for sustainable, rigorous and concentrated work and the chance to carry out individual research. The content may include, for example, studying the moving image theory, preparation of a curatorial concept, writing a dissertation, research, preparation of a script or a new audiovisual work. At the end of the residency, an output for the public will take place depending on the nature of the research and experience basis of the residents. The project offers two month-long residencies in July and August. The residency does not include accommodation, merely a workspace and resources to carry out your own research. 

WE OFFER: 

• gallery space and the adjacent office for a period of one month (including technical equipment)
• curatorial consultations with the team and collaborators of etc. gallery
• production support
• possibility of long-term collaboration
• royalty: 25.000 CZK (paid on the basis of a contract or invoice)
• 1st residency block: 1–31 July 2024
• 2nd residency block: 1–31 August 2024

WE REQUIRE:

• application form submitted no later than 28 April 2024

• CV/portfolio
