The Rävemåla Residency Programme is looking for applications from all creative and craft disciplines including writers, visual artists, chefs, craftspeople, musicians and architects. Free from modern day distractions the selected artist will get the opportunity to work on a specific project or goal in a beautiful surrounding in Sweden.
Rävemåla Residency Programme wants to remain open to all artistic disciplines, with the idea that art transcends an immediate definition of a specific practice and to maintain a conversation between urban and rural practises with the idea of that art shouldn’t be a city-restricted practise. Time and space has become a commodity in the city, and at the same time it is what the rural areas has a great capital of.
The five bedroom house is approximately 140m2 sitting on 3700m2 of land. There is electricity throughout, fireplaces for heating and a working well. There's no WiFi or running water though. The residents are invited to go back to minimal and simple living. Bicycles enable local transportation but aside from that, residents are relatively alone in their surroundings and live independently of conventional means. The stay is for approximately one month during the spring/summer - depending on the final project. The rural location and the size of the house makes it suitable for groups and families as well as individuals.
Rävemåla is a small village located 40 km away from Kalmar in Southern Sweden. The RRP house can be found on the outer fringes of the village, surrounded by farmland, pastoral simplicity and space. The immediate environment is one of rural solitude and stillness, perfect for those wishing to escape into the wild and work without distraction. This unique location and situation of the house means that visitors leave very little in the way of a carbon footprint and the house offers guests an amazing opportunity for escapism, freedom and dedication to a project.
