The
Artist's-Residency provides rent-free living in a centrally located attic (19m2) in the city of Zurich, as well as the
opportunity to network and discuss artistic ideas with the artists
and writers of index. If desired, our collective will also help to organize a public event (e.g. exhibition, concert, panel discussion).
Our guest artists are expected to bear the travel and living costs during their residency themselves.
The residency lasts over the course of 8 weeks.
Who Can Apply?
The
residency is open to all artists of various disciplines and
experience. However, priority for the space will be given to artists
who have had little or no support from other sponsors, and
applications from Swiss-German artist will not be considered. Apart
from that there are no constraints on who may apply.
Application Deadlines
The Application deadline for a residency from May 2023 to October 2023 ends on 31 March 2023.
Presentation / Artists Discussion
If
the resident so wishes, index will help to organize a public event for the artist (i.e. concerts,
readings, exhibitions, etc.). Residents are also expected to provide a
small artistic contribution in the form of their own choice to leave
in the attic.
Oranization
Responsible for the organization and selection of the residents are index members Blas Ulibarri, Esther Kempf and Michael Kuratli, as well as the associated curators / artists Adriana Dominguez (la capsula), Andreas Heusser and Maria Sabato.
