Collide Residency Award, at CERN and Hangar
The European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), located in Geneva (Switzerland), is teaming up with Barcelona to launch the second edition of the Collide Residency Award, which promotes dialogue between art and science at the highest level.
The aim of the residency is to invite artists to the Laboratory to consider, debate, discover and find inspiration, and to understand the challenges of fundamental research and the big questions that currently concern physics.
The proposal includes a second residency stage at Hangar, in Barcelona, where the person or collective selected will have an opportunity to broaden their research and test their applications through Barcelona’s scientific and cultural network, as well as relate to a wide range of communities.
You can find full information on this call in its terms and conditions.
