Call for artistic residence, PACT ZOLLVEREIN
567

Running all year round since 2002, the residency programme is at the heart of PACT Zollverein’s day to day work. Open to professional artists from home and abroad who work in the areas of dance, performance, media arts or music and closely linked to PACT’s two other core strands of activity in presenting work and facilitating research and development, the programme is a key element in PACT Zollverein’s profile as an Artists’ House supporting lively exchange between practice and theory. While occupying their own designated space and essentially working independently, residents may choose to take advantage of various kinds of production support such as dramaturgy, technical assistance, project management as well as press and publicity.

Thanks to the support of the Ministry for Families, Children, Youth, Culture and Sports of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, residency recipients receive a grant to cover their living expen­ses and travel costs.

Residences are awarded twice a year by an international jury.

A residency project will not have a public showing!

2017 will see our residency programme expanded:

In 2017, residential bursaries lasting several weeks will be awarded in addition to the general residency programme. These, within the context of a specific topic, will make it possible for the applicant to incorporate or even take part in symposia, discussions, presentations, workshops and other public events taking place at the same time. Artists, academics, experts and journalists are invited to apply with their own project proposals that should be geared towards the central theme.

The call for submissions and thematic guidelines for these special residencies will be published on our website in September 2016.
