Participation is open to all visual artists of any age and nationality who live in Catalonia and are developing projects in the field of contemporary public art, performance art, installation, sound art, visual and audio-visual arts and new media.

• Barcelona – Stuttgart – Barcelona return journey.
• Endowment: 1.600 € for maintenance (2 months) and 800 € for production costs (amounts are gross figures).
• Accommodation and workspace.
• Use of centre infrastructures.
• Occasional technical assistance. If your project requires full-time commitment, the costs will be deducted from the production estimate.

The residency will not cover medical insurance. Artists must bring in person a valid form of medical insurance for the period of the residency.

• Application must be submitted via the online form.
• Each artist must submit only one project for the residency application.
• During the residency, the successful artists must commit to keeping in active contact with the resident artists of the host city.

Participation in this competition assumes an acceptance of its rules and the decision of the committee, as well as any changes that may arise later due to factors beyond the control of the two centres.

Commitments to be undertaken by chosen project

The successful artist must commit to:

• Participating throughout their residency in communication and promotional events linked to the project.
• Deliver a final report of the project to each centre and an assessment of the residency at some point during the two months after its completion.
• Present the results of the residency after its completion. In Barcelona, the presentation will take place in the Arts Santa Mònica centre. In Stuttgart, the equivalent will take place at the Kunstverein de Stuttgart or another similar place. Depending on the presentations payment of artists’ fees and costs will be taken into consideration.
• Present the results of the residency at Hangar, as part of Paratext.
• Include logos of the participating institutions.

Priority will be given to:

• The interest of the proposal according to the working practices of both centres involved in the residency.
• The feasibility that the project will resolve the themes considered.
• A realistic assessment of the time scale and fit of the project aims to the context of the resources of the participating centres.
• The transversality of the project itself, that is, how its results can be applied and intersect with other contexts and individuals.
• The potential of the project to involve the network of participants at the participating centres and institutions.
• Cultural, artistic and social impact and projection of the residency.
