The Sound Art Residency is open to artists from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas with no age limit. The winning project will be chosen in the spring of 2024 by an international jury and will receive an €8,000 endowment ($8,700) and financing for the production of the sound work, which may become part of the museum’s collections.
The residency is designed to finance a work of sound art that may enter the museum’s permanent collection. The jury will give precedence to pieces connected with the museum’s collections, interests, and theme. The winning artist may have access to the museum’s audio and audio-visual archives or to the collection of musical instruments if it is pertinent to their project.
The winning project will be installed in the museum’s Music Box, a dedicated space for musical or audio-visual works. While the museum’s spaces can host the inaugural presentation of the work, the piece must be adaptable to other places and spaces. At the end of the residency, the work will be presented to the museum’s public in a manner determined by the artist.
The application deadline is February 18, 2024, and the laureate will be announced in May 2024. The residency will take place between June 2024 and February 2025, with the end of the residency and public presentation of the piece scheduled for mid-March 2025.
Applications must include a filled out and signed application form, a letter of intention detailing the project, a candidate’s biography, a photocopy of the candidate’s valid identity document, links to digital documents, and a detailed technical description of the proposed project. All applications must be submitted via email before the February 18 deadline.
