Call for X-OP Residency at Association for Culture and Education KIBLA


Call for X-OP Residency at Association for Culture and Education KIBLA
(ACE KIBLA), Maribor, Slovenia

ACE KIBLA invites artists, theoreticians, curators, critics or producers
for one-month residency in Maribor in February, March and April 2011 in
the frame of the eXchange of art Operators and Producers – X-OP project.

X-OP - eXchange of art operators and producers is a gradually growing
network of artists, researchers, operators, producers and centers with the
aim to establish a European platform for creation of art and exchange.
With its places, spaces and user-oriented technological infrastructure it
fosters mobility of artists, theoreticians and executives. It is built to
strengthen pan-European and global collaboration, common production and
interdisciplinary approach to art.

Residency-guest should propose a project connected to the eXchange of Art
Operators and Producers – X-OP project. It should be a theoretical study
or an art curatorial work or a production of a visual, musical/sound,
intermedia or intedisciplinary artwork.

The residency-guest is expected to collaborate with local and guest
international artists, give public presentations of a new work at KIBLA
and potentially in other art spaces and places, or give a lecture or/and a
workshop and write an overview of the stay. Results aim to be published in
the final printed and AV outputs: a book/a catalogue, a magazine, a DVD
and web sites of KIBLA and the project X-OP.

We cover travel expenses, offer an accommodation in an apartment in the
centre of Maribor, Slovenia and a scholarship/research grant in the amount
of 800 EUR. We provide the residency-guest with connections to the art
scene and aim at helping in facilitating artistic production during the
residency.
