KREMS EXCHANGE

Kunsthalle Krems in Krems, Austria
One- to two-month residencies, Jun 15–Aug 15, 2014 (note year)
Open to Faculty in the degree program, and full-time SAIC Staff

A former carpet factory along the Danube River has been converted to a multi-use arts building by the government of Lower Austria. See www.air-krems.at for more information on the program.

Through an exchange program, SAIC artists are provided a furnished apartment and a shared studio space. In exchange, artists from Austria are awarded residencies in Chicago, and are hosted by the School from June 1-August 1 each summer.

• SAIC provides a $1500 stipend per month to assist with travel expenses.
• Knowledge of German is extremely helpful but not required.
• While there are multiple international artists-in-residence in Krems at any one time, each is sponsored by a different organization. Consider this an unstructured and independent residency with minimal support from the sponsoring agency.
• Travel by train or car to Vienna (2 hrs), or to Venice, Prague, and Budapest (5 hrs).
• Once selected, recipients must provide extensive documentation of their practice to the sponsoring arts organization in Krems

SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION: On or before Thursday, March 1, 2013, please submit an application to SAICfaculty.slideroom.com. You will create an account in SlideRoom before beginning an application. Please start well before the deadline, as no late applications will be accepted for any reason. Hard copy materials are not accepted. SAIC will underwrite the application fee; you will not be charged to apply.

The application has two sections. The first section is fill-in fields asking for basic employment information (name, hire date, 25-word proposal summary). The second section asks for a résumé, and a one-to-two-page proposal. Describe the project and its relevance to your practice, including the potential for completed works or outcomes. All materials must be combined into one PDF or Word document; only one file upload is available, please do not include a separate portfolio or supplemental materials.
