Open Call – Studio Residency Stipends

The residency program of the Bibliothek Andreas Züst is about to start the next round. Effective immediately and until the deadline on 30 September 2020, applications can be submitted for a stay in April 2021. The open call is addressed to national and international cultural workers (individuals or teams of up to four persons) in all disciplines (visual arts, literature, new media, music, stage performance, design, architecture, film, photography as well as applied arts and art-related fields). The duration of the residency is for the entire month of April. Accommodations are provided at the Panoramaherberge Alpenhof, where the Bibliothek has been housed since 2010. Depending on the Alpenhof’s bookings, the lodge can be bustling with activity or very quiet. The stay is set up on a self-organized basis.

The Bibliothek Andreas Züst encompasses approximately 10,400 books concerning topics in fields such as the weather, geology, glaciology, astronomy, science fiction, physics, literature, photography, art, kitsch, and popular culture. Desired projects for submittal to the open call are those that deal with the Bibliothek as a whole or one of its sub-sections. We are especially interested in how the main focus of individual artistic processes is put in relation to the cosmos of the Bibliothek. The stipend award includes a free-of-charge stay as well as travel expenses to the Alpenhof. A subsistence allowance of CHF 250/week may be additionally requested.
