In collaboration with the Collaborative Research Centre ISOQUANT at Heidelberg University and the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, Art Hub Copenhagen invites artists to apply for a six-month residency exchange programme that brings together artists and quantum physicists. Deadline for applications is Wednesday 26 March 2025.

  
In recent years, the intersection of art and science, particularly physics, has gained increasing prominence in artistic practices and exhibitions. This residency aims to build on that momentum by fostering creative dialogue between artists and leading international researchers in quantum physics.

  
By breaking down the traditional boundaries between scientific inquiry and artistic exploration, we aim to inspire new ways of thinking and to encourage cross-disciplinary discoveries. This programme offers artists and scientists a unique opportunity to collaborate and challenge one another and generate innovative insights and new knowledge for both fields.

  
Duration of the residency is 6 months (residency) + 6 months (follow-up programme including curatorial sparring and exhibition preparation) starting in Fall 2025.

**Stipend**: Artists will receive a monthly stipend (2.000€) to cover living expenses during the residency period (first 6 months of the program). If childcare is needed, we offer access to facilities at Heidelberg University.

  
**Accommodation**: Art Hub Copenhagen will facilitate finding a rented room/apartment practically located in Copenhagen and cover the costs. The CRC ISOQUANT will offer and cover costs for accommodation in a fully equipped apartment centrally located in Heidelberg.

  
**Workspace**: Art Hub Copenhagen will offer a studio and access to workshops, including metal, wood, printing, assembly, and digital workshop facilities. Moreover, Art Hub Copenhagen will assist in finding other relevant production facilities if needed. The CRC ISOQUANT will grant full access to all university research facilities, laboratories, and a shared office space. Heidelberg University will provide working facilities specific to the hosting institutes.

  
**Travel**: The programme covers round-trip travel between Copenhagen and Heidelberg, with an emphasis on eco-friendly options such as train travel. Additionally, local commuting in Heidelberg and Copenhagen will be facilitated and covered by ISOQUANT and Art Hub, respectively.

  
**Events and Public Presentation**: Art Hub Copenhagen and ISOQUANT will take full responsibility for organizing and funding events during the residency, such as artist talks, as well as the final public presentations of the works in Copenhagen and Heidelberg. This includes covering the costs of supplies and materials for the artworks (up to 5.000 €), an exhibition fee of 2.500 € per exhibition, and transportation costs for both the artworks and the artists. Additionally, exhibition-related costs, such as room rental and materials, will be covered (up to 2.500 € per exhibition).

  
**Publication Opportunities**: Both institutions aim to produce a joint publication at the end of the program and will also encourage and support the development of online publishing formats.

OPEN CALL :  SciArt Residency

For centuries now, the close relationship between art and science has offered new prospects in exploring and understanding reality through a dialogue that combines the observation, analysis, reflection and expression of human experiences, a dialogue that promotes new creative and experimental approaches to the investigative processes.

  
In the era of technical reproducibility, the use of photographic or video media and new technologies has become a fundamental practice in the development of artistic practices: starting from the Dadaist experiences, throughout the pop art period all the way to the contemporary artistic phenomenology, we have important testimony that confirm an increasingly closer link between art, technology and science.

  
An important shift in the field of research has occurred with the advent of photography, as with it the approach to scientific , historical, geographical and anthropological documentation has changed, elaborate systematic methods of cataloging have been developed, and these contribute to the creation of new visual and informative aesthetics by which contemporary artists are influenced.

A Scientific Approach: Documents and Creative Investigation

To celebrate 30 years of Photoworks, we are partnering with MPB to launch R&D Seed Grants supporting artists to make work. 

  
To be eligible to apply all applicants must complete three questions:

  
* Describe the current stage of your practice or project.
* What will you do with a Photoworks X MPB R&D Seed Grant?
* How will this grant support your work?

  
The grant may be used for any expenses that support your art practice, directly or indirectly. This may include but is not limited to materials, equipment, production, research, or studio space. There are no post award obligations, but we welcome updates on how you have used the grant and may invite you to share your experience.

These £500 Seed Grants offer practitioners the opportunity to advance their practice or move forward a body of work. 

Photoworks X MPB R&D Seed Grants

**This grant, mentoring and scholarships programme aims at addressing the shortage of local independent journalism by administering grants to local investigative journalistic projects in Europe and stimulating cross-border collaboration.**

  
This programme will:

  
* Stimulate local journalists and (small) news outlets to conduct investigative journalism and learn from colleagues in other countries, creating a European network of local (investigative) journalists in the long run.
* Stimulate local journalists and news outlets to compare with other regions and cities in other countries that face similar problems or challenges, which are eminently European issues.
* Increase the dissemination, reach and impact of local investigative journalism.

  
The grant programme will be open for **teams of local investigative journalists and/or local media outlets** from at least two different European countries who have good ideas for a local cross-border investigation. For example: journalists and/or news outlets from different comparable cities investigate how their cities cope with e.g. housing, waste, tourism, mobility, etc.

  
The project should be one that, in principle, could not be realised in this format within the remit of regular journalism – a project that can include cross-border research, networking between colleagues, established and **innovative investigative methods** and that is at the same time original, innovative and intensive.

In 2025 the total grant budget is €365,000 to distribute over two application rounds. For the next deadline we have €250,000 to distribute.

  
A grant can cover two types of costs:

  
**Working time** of the journalists to conduct their investigation. (**_please note: working time will need to be substantiated with a timesheet_**)

  
**Expenses**:

  
* Direct investigation expenses such as travel, visa, accommodation, translation, fixers, access to pay-databases, freedom of information (FOI) requests, legal screening, insurance, etc., ...
* Following expenses **cannot** be covered by the grants: overhead, office costs, investments goods (such as IT hardware, mobile phones, cameras, software …), production costs, recoverable VAT, food and beverage, per diems.
* Grantees must minimize unnecessary travel, particularly air travel. Our policy is to only make essential trips and to champion alternative ways of collaborating with others. This saves time and money, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions (that contribute to global heating). We ask that our grantees do the same for the work that we fund and report to us on the air travel they make.
* The grant can only cover costs for _research_, not for production.

The Sunflower Project is excited to announce the inaugural Demand To Be Heard residency, supporting performing artists who are survivors of gender-based violence, interpartner violence, domestic violence and/or sexual assault. A catalyst for self-discovery and personal growth, Demand To Be Heard invites survivors to shatter the barriers of stigma, cultivate empathy, understanding, and support among a wider community. This platform raises awareness about the impact of trauma, challenges societal misconceptions, and fosters a culture of healing and resilience.

  
We encourage survivors from all backgrounds and experiences to embrace their creativity and participate in this transformative initiative. By sharing their art and stories, survivors not only empower themselves but also inspire others who may be on their own healing journey. The Demand To Be Heard residency will support artists in developing work to reflect their lived experience as a survivor, and will provide an opportunity for artists to show their work in a culminating production.

  
Resident artists will receive:

* Modest production stipend
* Group workshops led by professional performing artists, body workers, writers, educators, and leaders in the gender-based violence field. Presenters include:
* Toogie Barcelo
* Carene Rose Mekertichyan
* Drew Denny
* Dianna Wyenn
* Elana Mann
* One-on-one mentorship with The Sunflower Project’s founder Leah Zeiger.
* Bi-weekly Body Memory Method sessions
* The opportunity to showcase their work in a professionally staged production at the end of the program.
* Process and project documentation.

  
The resident artist cohort will meet regularly in Los Angeles from May through October 2025, at intervals and times determined by the group as a whole. **Artists should anticipate spending 3-6 hours a month in group and individual meetings, plus additional time working on their project.**

  
Applications are open on March 1st, and will close on March 28th. Selected artists will be notified by April 13th.

  
Artists/survivors of all performing arts backgrounds are encouraged to apply, regardless of the number of years you’ve been practicing. There are 5 spots available.

  
Please review the application questions below, and draft your responses in a separate document before uploading them to the online portal.

  
**Who We Are:** The Sunflower Project educates young people on sexual violence and relationship abuse and empowers survivors to tell their story through artmaking. The Sunflower Project envisions a world where all survivors are deeply supported in reclaiming their voice. By using storytelling, embodied movement, and a wide range of creative outlets, our work encourages emotional processing, fosters healing, and builds community. We aim to educate all young people about healthy relationships early in life, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, background, location, or socio-economic status.
  
  

Artist/Survivor Residency: Demand To Be Heard

The SOM Foundation and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture are now accepting applications for the 2025 Researcher-in-Residence. 

A fully funded summer residency program based in Los Angeles, the Researcher-in-Residence program provides an architect, artist, and/or researcher dedicated space and time for innovative work that addresses pressing issues related to the built environment. This year’s topic is “Advancing Toward a Water-Secure Future,” which corresponds to the SOM Foundation’s 2024–25 research topic.

  
**Residency Overview**

The Researcher-in-Residence is a $5,000 award and four-to-eight-week summer residency at R.M. Schindler’s Fitzpatrick-Leland House in Los Angeles, California. The residency is awarded annually to an architect, artist, and/or researcher to conduct original research that contributes to the current topic. The Researcher-in-Residence Program was jointly established in 2024 by the MAK Center for Art and Architecture and the SOM Foundation to provide space and time for rigorous work that addresses pressing issues related to the built environment.

  
**Topic: Advancing Toward a Water-Secure Future**

As shared during the United Nations 2023 Water Conference, two billion people lack access to safe drinking water; 40 percent of the world’s population is affected by water scarcity; agriculture demands alone account for 70 percent of water usage; more than 90 percent of disasters are water-related; and pressure on freshwater is projected to increase by more than 40 percent by 2050.

From macro multinational ecosystems to microclimates, there is an urgent need for bold and collaborative solutions to a myriad of existing and future water-related challenges. This year, the SOM Foundation will direct its support toward proposals that address the complex relationship between water, people, and the built environment. Creating a sustainable, equitable, and water-secure future will require innovative and multidisciplinary ideas that shape long-term policies, define comprehensive plans, and identify immediate actions. 
  
  
**Dates & Location**

The term of this residency is four-to-eight weeks between June 1 and July 31, 2025\. Exact dates during this timeframe are flexible. The residency is located in Los Angeles at the Fitzpatrick-Leland House. Originally designed by R.M. Schindler as a model home in 1936, the Fitzpatrick-Leland House also serves as the MAK Center’s Study Center. The residency includes a private bedroom, work space, bathroom, and access to communal kitchen and social spaces of the Fitzpatrick-Leland House. The residency spaces are located on the second floor of a residential house, which require one flight of stairs. Due to space constraints, the residency is unable to accommodate additional family members or pets (except service animals).
