Artist in Residence 2027
Overview
Artis has issued an open call for its 2027 Artist in Residence program, extending an invitation to artists working across a spectrum of disciplines—photography, painting, sculpture, film, dance, and visual art. The residency is global in scope, without a fixed geographic anchor, suggesting a commitment to international dialogue and context-responsive practice. While the organization has not disclosed the residency's duration, location, or financial terms, the breadth of eligible media indicates a curatorial interest in cross-disciplinary inquiry and the intersections between static and moving images, object-making, and embodied performance. For the selected artist, the residency represents an opportunity to develop work within an institutional framework that values process and experimentation. Though the specifics of the award—including stipend, studio access, and exhibition outcomes—remain unspecified in the public call, the program's structure implies a period of focused research and production, potentially culminating in a public presentation or publication. Artists are encouraged to consult Artis's prior residencies to understand the scale and ambition of past projects. The curatorial vision for 2027 is not explicitly themed, leaving room for proposals that engage with contemporary urgencies through a personal and rigorous lens. The jury will likely seek proposals that demonstrate a clear trajectory of inquiry, an awareness of material and conceptual histories, and the potential to leverage the residency's resources—whatever they may be—to advance a significant body of work. This is not a prize for past achievement but a platform for future development.
