**About Los Luceros**

Los Luceros is located on the traditional lands of Pueblo and Apache peoples. Surrounding are landscapes of Pueblo and Apache communities, whose people continue to maintain vital connections to the greater area including Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo and Santa Clara Pueblo and the other Eight Northern Pueblos. 

Over 1,000 years of the area’s diverse cultural history is on display to explore and discover at Los Luceros Historic Site. Indigenous, Hispanic, and Anglo-American cultures have come together here to shape not only the history, but the landscape as well. Situated along the Old Spanish Trail, mule trains, loaded with trade goods, passed by the Spanish outpost that once stood near the river, as they travelled between Santa Fe and Los Angeles.

  
Today visitors are welcome to discover the site’s unique history within the walls of the 18th century Hacienda, the centerpiece of the ranch. Hear the stories of the influential and inspiring people who have visited, or called this location home for more than 600 years. Enjoy beautiful stands of cottonwoods along the floodplain, and connect to the area’s rich agricultural history on display in the farmyard, orchards, Bosque and Acequia system preserved on the grounds.

**The call for our next Chamäleon Residency is now open!**

  
Following our first residency focussed on Berlin based artists (Ana Jordão and Vincent Kollar with ‘A Body and Other Objects’) we widened the scope to artists from all around Germany and welcomed Leela Tinelli, Laura Stokes and their collaborators for ‘On the Edge’.

  
Our final Chamäleon Residency for this cycle is now focussed on worldwide international artists. The selected artists will be invited to work for 3 weeks in our rehearsal space in Berlin and will receive financial and structural support to develop their own artistic project.

  
Thanks to the funding provided by the Theaterpreis des Bundes we will be able to offer the chosen artists not only fees, rehearsal space, dramaturgical and production support but also travel and accommodation support.

  
We want to support courageous circus projects that follow open creative processes and find compelling points of intersection with other strands of the performing arts. We encourage applications from artists and groups that aim to shed light on social, political and ecological issues. In this way, we hope to strengthen the thematic diversity of new circus projects. As a cultural organization, the Chamäleon aims to enable fairer access to the art form and we therefore particularly encourage artists who have experienced discrimination to apply. We see ourselves as a learning institution that continues to educate itself and critically examines its own role and the limitations of our perspectives.

* Free use of The Cave rehearsal room for three weeks
* Financial support per residency day of €150 per artist
* Financial support for travel if required
* Financial support for accommodation if required
* Financial support for visa costs if required
* Dramaturgical, technical and/or production advice from the Chamäleon team
* Mentoring in the areas of production, communication and strategy by the Chamäleon team
* A work-in-progress sharing at the end of the residency

Residency for International Circus Artists 2025

**A stranger I arrived; a stranger I depart.**

  
Strangeness can fascinate or frighten, arouse curiosity or provoke indifference. Sometimes it is not only an unknown other that is foreign to us, but also our own self. Friends can become strangers and vice versa. Surrounded by strangers in our everyday lives, we seek closeness and familiarity or withdraw. Forms of migration, from holiday trips to emigration, flight or expulsion, seem strange and unfamiliar to us, but they help us to perceive ourselves more clearly and thus understand ourselves better.

  
Memory can play a major role here: memories of the often difficult partings in our own biography, of being on the road, which both unsettles us and gives us confidence. Or failing to cross borders, or overcoming them, the arrival in a foreign country with the desire to make it familiar. Where words may be lacking to describe such memories and experiences, art finds a language using signs, images, symbols, colour and structure.

  
For the 31st International Studio Program, the City of Weimar and ACC Galerie invite artists to let stories of journeys, emigration and flight become visible and thus to make the search for refuge and future in foreign worlds aesthetically tangible. In this context, the International Studio Program would like to encourage artists to use not only the spaces of the ACC Galerie, but also the public space of Weimar. The city's archives, museums and libraries are at your disposal for your research in order to incorporate the genius loci into your artistic concept. Collaboration with Weimar citizens, students, young people, children and, last but not least, with those for whom Germany, Thuringia and Weimar are still foreign is also very welcome. We look forward to your project idea!

  
**WORK PERIODS**

* February 1—May 31, 2025
* June 1—September 30, 2025
* October 1, 2025—January 31, 2026

  
The artist chosen first by our jury will get his/her preferred work period for sure. Artists in second and third place usually need to negotiate, in case their preferred work period is already taken.

**STIPEND, TRAVEL COSTS ETC.**

The monthly stipend is 1,100 euros. The ACC Galerie Weimar organizes the worldwide application procedure, convenes the independent jury, and supports the artists throughout the year. In order to receive the stipend the artists must live in Weimar during the work period. They must cover their own travel costs, although the program attempts to find additional funding in cooperation with the artists. Artists are expected to hold a lecture/talk at the ACC Galerie Weimar at the end of their stay. In addition we offer free entry to public municipal institutions, such as the City History Museum, and to the museums of the Weimar Classic Foundation, such as the Weimar Art Collection, the Goethe National Museum, the Bauhaus Museum, and the Duchess Anna Amalia Library. Participants are responsible for their own telephone bills and have to arrange for their own medical insurance, if needed

  
**STUDIO**

Located on the ground floor of the historical Municipal Studio Building, the studio is about a ten minute walk from the ACC Galerie Weimar in the town center. In addition to the visiting international artist, the well-lit studio building accommodates ten other artists. The studio (30 square meters/323 square feet) does not offer any other special equipment, such as photography, video, digital, etc.

  
**ROOM AND BOARD**

Rent-free, furnished apartment on the ground floor of the Municipal Studio Building with internet. Meals are available at ACC Café-Restaurant at a 30% discount.

  
**EXHIBITION**

A selection of works produced during the residency period may be presented in a group exhibition in the following year. The ACC Galerie Weimar makes the final decision about the participation of the artists in the exhibition. A possible concept for the exhibition will be developed together with the artists. Where appropriate, works of art will be displayed in public spaces in Weimar to be agreed upon with the artists. It is intended that the artists are present during the preparation and for the opening of the exhibition.

31th International Studio Program

**The scholarship is endowed with a one-off amount of €2,500\.** An independent jury decides on the award. The virtual stay in the Literaturhaus Bremen begins on March 1st and ends on May 31st, 2025\. As part of the scholarship, the award winner sets up their own project website. The scholarship holder is then invited to present their project at an event as part of a literature festival in Bremen.

  
**Following the residency, they will be invited to present their project at a literature festival event in Bremen (the costs of which will be covered by the organisers).**

Bremen Network Residence 2024/25

Each year, **Ohme** supports and offers its expertise to several artists in artistic and technical residencies. Through this initiative, and according to the specific needs of each artist, Ohme actively supports the conception and the conception and production of innovative artistic projects, provides solid technical and scientific support in research and development, networks with experts and researchers, and promotes exchanges between art, science and technology.

  
Together with **Pilar** (House of Art and Science of the Vrije Universiteit Brussels – VUB) and **FARI** (Research Institute in AI, data & Robotics for the Common Good in Brussels), Ohme is launching an open call for an artist residency focused on exploring the interactions between biometric technologies and human expression in live performance.

  
This residency takes place in the wider framework of **_biometrika_**, an artistic and technical long term project exploring the potential of biometrics at the service of the live performance.

  
The **_biometrika_** project is rooted both in the original concept of biometrics – the measurement of biological parameters – and in the research undertaken by Ohme Lab over the last 3 years in this field. Ohme has developed technologies to capture biosignals from the body and its environment, translating them into real-time bidirectional interactions with artworks. The use of such signals to reveal mental, emotional, and/or physical states involves the integration of sensors, acquisition systems and (AI-based) methods for the pre-processing, classification and interpretation of these signals. These developments, led by Ohme Lab, have so far focused on integrating biometric data and biosignals into the creation of digital art installations, exploring how the public’s reactions to a work of art can influence that work in real time, and vice versa.

  
With **_biometrika_**, we propose a shift in focus from audience biosignals to those of the performer(s) themselves. This project explores how real-time biometric data—reflecting the physical, mental, and/or emotional states of the performer(s)—can influence their performance. The performer(s)’ internal responses become part of the artistic creation, enhancing the interaction between artist and artwork. Such biosignal-driven performances could enable audiences to experience a more intimate connection, as the technology makes the performer’s emotional and physiological engagement with their art more explicit and perceptible in real time.

**A budget of €6,000** (excl. VAT) will be provided, covering both production costs and artist fees, depending on the project proposed

  
10 days (to be defined) of **Technical and Artistic Support** from Ohme’s team, to be divided according to the needs of the artist among: scientific support and technical development with engineers from Ohme Lab, residency days, networking, etc.

  
**Access to Facilities,** depending on the project proposed and needs of the artist :

* Access to technologies developed by Ohme Lab and to its equipment for prototyping and experimentation (3D printers, laser cutter, CNC, etc.).
* Access to the Pilar Box, Pilar’s performance/concert/theatre space and its staging equipment including platforms, risers, trusses, rigging systems, lighting fixtures, sound systems, backdrops, curtains, props, etc.
* Access to FARI’s brand new sensors and robots library, as well as to its new Computer Augmented Virtual Environment (CAVE), an immersive 3D space designed for interactive visualisation and collaborative experimentation in AI, robotics, and data.

  
Access to Ohme’s extensive university **Networking Opportunities** and contact with scientists and researchers, including the academic and professional networks of Pilar (VUB) and the nearly 300 experts in AI, data and robotics at FARI (ULB/VUB), depending on the artist’s needs.

  
**Workspaces** at Pilar and Ohme Lab that are equipped for creative and technical development (periods and durations are partly to be determined).
