How to apply
In the selection process an emphasis is put on the applicant´s innovative ideas & approach. We are looking for creative minds, emerging artists and professionals widely from different fields. We also like to keep some positions open for creatives without a remarkable creative background or a long CV. In this case the proposed idea/approach of the applicant has a more significant importance.
Duos, collectives and groups are also welcome.
In general we are open to raw ideas and long term 'work in progress' approaches as we understand that certain projects, especially the ones which need participation by others or which are site-spesific, may change and live a lot along the way.
