  • RMIT SITUATE Artist Residency Opportunity at RMIT University for Visual Artists
    RMIT SITUATE artist residency opportunity at RMIT University for visual artists AIR – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Niederösterreich at the RMIT School of Art, Melbourne campus, for 2020 AIR – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Niederösterreich and RMIT SITUATE have conducted an annual residency exchange since 2007. The School of Art at RMIT offers studios for artists practicing in the fields of painting, drawing, sound, printmaking, new media (video, animation), photography, multi-disciplinary practices and object-based practices (ceramics, gold & silversmithing and sculpture). For specialist disciplines, RMIT SITUATE will attempt to accommodate artists with access to University facilities and equipment. Applications are sought from Lower Austrian artists working in any of these fields. The international exchanges cultivate a critical context for the development and presentation of contemporary art to a local, national and international audience. The residency project was formed to entice cross-cultural dialogue, and to enable arts practitioners to operate in a dynamic and global nature – a manner characterised by mobility, fluidity and interactivity. The Artist in Residence exchange forms a ‘location’ through which the relationship of economics, politics and cultural identity can be examined and interrogated. Applications for the AIR – Niederösterreich / RMIT Residency Exchange All applications must include the following: A project and exhibition rational (English/German) of no more than 2000 characters. The rational must include reference to a conceptual research focus of the project. Max: 10 images of recent work (AND/OR 5 minutes of compiled/excerpted sound or video) in any medium with an accompanying list of works listing title, medium, duration/dimensions and date.
