MERZ Gallery's residency program offers practitioners in film and dance the opportunity to undertake sustained creative research over a three- to six-month period. The residency is open to artists working globally, without restriction to a specific geographic base, and is structured to accommodate projects that require extended time and focused attention. While the exact terms of the residency—including stipend, studio access, and presentation outcomes—are not specified in the available information, the program's emphasis on durational engagement suggests a commitment to process rather than mere production. MERZ Gallery has positioned this residency as a platform for cross-disciplinary dialogue between moving-image and movement-based practices. By bringing together filmmakers and dance artists, the program encourages an exchange of methodologies and formal concerns, from choreography and editing to embodiment and the moving camera. The gallery's curatorial vision appears to favor work that is rigorous, experimental, and attuned to the specificities of each medium, rather than work that seeks immediate commercial or popular appeal. Artists selected for the residency will be expected to engage with the gallery's broader community and to use the time to develop new work or deepen existing lines of inquiry. The absence of a stated fee or prize does not necessarily indicate a lack of support; rather, it reflects the information currently available. Applicants are advised to consult MERZ Gallery directly for full details on what the residency provides. The deadline for applications is November 25, 2026.
