Earthwise Residency is looking for one artist and one researcher or specialist for an interdisciplinary collaboration that aims to address the theme of multispecies relations and the more-than-human.
The organisers are especially interested in communication with the living world and the animal kingdom, and in developing creative work that situates and enhances curiosity, intimacy, and encounters with the more-than-human, while at the same time exploring corresponding academic research through artistic lenses. The collaborations across science and art could propose new ways to understand other species. Earthwise Residency focuses on research and practices, which heightens the sensitivity, knowledge, and methods for consciously reweaving our human lives with the myriad of relations and interdependencies we all rely on.
The organisers are looking for performing artists and visual artists with an interest in time-based work and performance who (preferably) already have contact or an ongoing collaboration with a researcher. Artists or researchers, who are looking for a collaborator to apply, are also welcome, as Earthwise Residency may curate teams by paring up persons. Applicants must have a genuine interest in interdisciplinary approaches, and preferably some experience of working with the-more-than-human.
Both residencies will take place from 9 January to 19 February 2023 and from 17 April to 29 May 2023 (dates can be negotiated). Earthwise is placed in a tiny village in the Mols Bjerge National Park, 40km outside of Aarhus (Denmark), and consists of an old farm, land and a residency house. The organisation will provide working space, accommodation in private rooms in a house shared with Earthwise volunteers as well as a stipend of 1.800 € for each of the two persons and a small budget for materials. Space for partners/children can be negotiated. Deadline for submitting applications is 1 November. Find more information about the Open Call criteria here.
