Residency call for entries

Rijksakademie Research Residency call for entries.

The Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam is a working and meeting place for young professional artists from all over the world. Fifty resident artists work for one or two years on research, projects and production. Such a work period is most valuable after three to five years of professional experience, after (the last) art education.

Concentration on the work, reflection and discussion are central to the residency. Residents are supported on an artistic, technical and theoretical level by internationally recognized artists, art critics, curators and other advisors. Technical specialists advise on research, experiment and production; technical facilities with a broad range are at hand.

Resident artists pursue all major contemporary visual art disciplines: painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, film, sound and new media, and can link up with other disciplines such as architecture, theatre, music, dance, literature and film.

Applying The Rijksakademie has some fifty studios. Each year approximately twenty-five artists are selected for a residency. Artists can apply for the Residency 2007 (January  December) through the online application form. The deadline for application is 1 February 2006.
