As part of the project DigiLabAiR, EntrAxis e.V. offers three artist bursaries to develop a performance-for-camera on climate emergency, the biosphere and ecosystems in digital artist-in-residence. We are looking for original work to be co-created that involves critical and poetic explorations through body-based performance art of concepts that centre the anthropogenic impact on the environment and non-human bodies such as i.e. deep and queer ecology, hyperobjects, transcorporeality, or solastalgia.

 

The performance-for-film works will be developed and mentored through a three-session digital Artist-in-Residence with artist duo and project curators VestAndPage as part of the Creative Europe-funded project DigiLabAiR. These online residencies are a space where the participating artists and mentors work co-creatively. They offer the artists a place for formation, hospitality, confrontation and contamination between artists from different realities and experiences to meet and exchange practices and ideas.

 

The resulting films will be showcased in a public exhibition in Italy in December 2023, and become part of the online platform PAV Performance Art Vid to be launched on that occasion with the aim to generate further revenue for the artists through an ongoing video-on-demand availability. The artist-in-residence bursaries are of 800.–€ each.

​

We explicitly encourage applications and collaborations from people from otherwise marginalized communities. If it should not be possible for you to submit your proposal in the way outlined below, or if you need any assistance, please get in touch and we look forward to finding ways to make it work for you. We also underline that no expensive technical equipment is needed to make valuable art: it is your idea, urgency and poetics that counts, and with a basic camera and editing equipment we can create powerful work!

​

• This offer is for European artists born or working in Germany.

• Applications must be received by March 15, 2023. Virtual interviews will be held in the following week.

• The bursary-supported activity takes place as part of the DigiLabAiR digital artist-in-residence with three online dates between April and October 2023.

• Applications need to be submitted through the online form. Please prepare a short bio, a two-paragraph expression of interest, relevant links to work examples in both performance and film/video, and a first draft of the proposed work to be developed for this occasion (as PDF, short video or audio file, max. 100 MB).

• Only new works to be developed as performance-for-camera on the above-mentioned topic will be considered.

• We hold no formal requirements on the length and technique of the performance-for-film work, but bear in mind that it needs to be produced, realized and edited in the months April to October.

• The selected artists should become acquainted with the Green Production Guide or Green Film Criteria, aiming to reduce their artistic production’s impact on the environment.
