Rumpenheim Art Prize 2025

The Theodor Körner Fund aims to support young academics and artists. Applications are open for scientific research projects, as well as art, literature, and composition projects that are currently underway . Funding is also available for the development of research designs that serve as the basis for competitive application procedures (FWF or at least equivalent).

  
The Theodor Körner Fund awards its prizes exclusively for " work in progress ." The submitted project must have already begun but not been completed before the end of the respective application year. Submitted projects must have been independently conceived by the applicant, be carried out independently, and be feasible within two years . For the 2025 application year, this means a completion deadline between January 1, 2026, and November 30, 2027.

  
In the academic disciplines, only research projects are eligible for awards. Communication, translation, and publication projects, etc., are therefore excluded from applications. Likewise, bachelor's and diploma/master's theses, postdoctoral research projects, and contract research are generally not eligible for funding.

The Theodor Körner Prize is endowed with €5,000 . It is awarded for outstanding projects, but represents direct support for the awardees and is at their discretion. Evidence of the use of the funds is not required. With the exception of the Foundation Prizes, the prize money is paid out in two installments: the first (€3,000) upon award of the prize, the second (€2,000) upon timely and documented completion.

The _Creative Exchange Residency for Craft Practitioners_ aims to foster a collaborative and open learning environment, encouraging craft practitioners to apply their unique skills and perspectives. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful exchanges, contributing to the rich tapestry of European craft knowledge and practice.

  
Whether you’re based in different countries or various regions within the same country, you can take part in this knowledge exchange. The roll-out call spans until March 2025, and the residency can take place until 15 April 2025, providing an extended application window and more opportunities for craft practitioners.

  
Each selected participant will receive a stipend of 400€ to facilitate their involvement. This stipend is intended to cover basic travel expenses and contribute to accommodation costs. Additionally, applicants are encouraged to proactively seek additional financial support by applying for an EU mobility grant or other applicable grants if they anticipate further funding needs.

  
**Application categories are as follows:**

  
**Pair Exchange:** A traditional two-week knowledge exchange and residency either all 14 days in-situ or a minimum of 7 days in-situ and the rest up to the 2 weeks online.

  
Established pairs of craft practitioners are encouraged to apply together. This category also has the flexibility to choose between 14 days face-to-face or a hybrid format with 7 days in person and the rest online (equivalent to 15 hours per week). Participants in this category should apply individually and add the name of the partner in the corresponding section and visit each other in their studios. Both persons in the pair are entitled to the full stipend. If you don’t have a partner, a dedicated closed Facebook group will be provided, monitored by the ECA team, allowing you to explore potential exchange partners.

  
**Workshop Attendance:** Craft practitioners interested in attending already established workshops that last at least 7 days.

  
Participants in this category can apply and be eligible for a stipend if the established workshop has a minimum duration of 7 days in situ . For the remaining time applicants should propose a supplementary program to cover the remaining days (equivalent of 15 hours week). This could involve exploring local craftspeople and their workshops, local heritage, and unique materials in the region.

  
**Group Exchange:** Craft practitioners forming a group for a collective exchange either all 14 days in-situ or at least 7 days in-situ and the rest online.

  
Craft practitioners, 3 or up to 20, can form a group and apply together. This category also has the flexibility to choose between 14 days face-to-face or a hybrid format with at least 7 days in person and the rest up to 2 weeks online (equivalent to 15 hours per week). The group can create its own knowledge exchange in one place (e.g., one of the members of the group’s studio) based on craft discipline or the use of materials in different craft disciplines. All members of the group are individually eligible for the stipend.

The individual stipend of 400€ per participant will be disbursed once the application is approved by ECA.

Creative Exchange for Craft Practitioners

**Timeline Shift is the title of the fourth edition of Re:humanism Art Prize, which since 2018 has been dedicated to exploring the relationship between art and artificial intelligence. This edition is a reflection on time, often experienced from a Western perspective and oriented towards the future and productivity. Hence, an openness to other cultural and ritual forms is vital. An invitation to recover, in technologies as in everyday life, a synchronicity capable of reconnecting everyone's experience with the world around them, living species, even artificial entities and ourselves. Timeline Shift is an attempt to go beyond a "wrong timeline", generating the possibility to act on the world and on technological progress, similarly to a collective spell.**

  
Today, new generative models defined as large language models (LLM) allow greater accessibility of these technologies but also greater opacity. While anyone can use natural language (prompt) to obtain content with a high degree of accuracy, on the other hand these models need enormous quantities of data which also need to be classified and organized to obtain satisfactory results. The theme of the archive, already central in the artistic discourse, becomes even more so concerning these tools. Decisions about which data is preserved and which is discarded are highly dependent on human intervention, and the risk of repercussions exponentially escalates with AI.

  
In this context, the art world finds itself at the center of this algorithmic revolution: the interfaces of generative models, while making the creation of content more accessible, reduce the transparency and awareness of the processes that generate them. The debate focuses on the concept of authorship and its recognition, while concerns emerge about how artificial intelligence reproduces stereotypes or intrinsic limits of statistical calculation, rather than generating genuine creativity.

  
In response, many artists are exploring new workflows, seeking sustainable solutions that transcend the recursive nature of algorithms. Among the topics addressed, discourses on gender, decolonization, ritual and ancestral visions, intertextuality and synchronicity emerge, as well as speculative perspectives that aim to outline new cultural and social horizons.

  
This edition aims to foster reflections on how to rethink value systems now at the limit of their usefulness, inviting artists to imagine and experiment with tools that can overcome the current condition. The goal is to create visions capable of tracing trajectories towards a more inclusive, ethical and sustainable future.

The **exhibition** of the ten finalists (excluding the Romaeuropa Prize which will be presented later) will take place in the **Fondazione Pastificio Cerere in Rome in June 2025.**

  
Ten projects will be selected and divided into three 3 main categories: the MAIN PRIZE, the APA PRIZE and the ROMAEUROPA DIGITALIVE PRIZE.

  
The prizes are divided as follows:

  
**1° PRIZE — 7.000 €**

**2° PRIZE — 5.000 €**

**3° PRIZE — 4.000 €**

**APA PRIZE — 3.000 €**

**THE OTHER FIVE FINALISTS — 1.000 €**

**ROMAEUROPA DIGITALIVE PRIZE — 1500 € + festival**

The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 2025 edition of its Artists Development Programme (ADP) in partnership with Cité internationale des arts (Paris) and neimënster (Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture) (Luxembourg), for which it is looking for TWO visual artists (born after 1 January 1990) from an EU Member State to work on the theme “Disruption: The Imprint of Man.”

  
“Disruption: The Imprint of Man” aims to offer a unique vantage point on the Anthropocene. Building on the past residency theme “Anthropocene — The Imprint of Man” (2014-2017), “Disruption” broadens the focus beyond the environment to include topical social issues in the European Union: the decline of solidarity and respect as values, generational clashes, and the meaning of intra and international relations. Artists are invited to meditate on human behaviour and its consequences. “Disruption” is therefore understood not only in its physical sense, but also as a social, cultural and behavioural phenomenon.

  
The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a three-month residency, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a renowned artist. In 2025, the residency will take place over three months between the Cité internationale des arts in Paris for two months (September-October), and neimënster in Luxembourg for one month (November). The laureates will be mentored by acclaimed Franco-Italian artist Tatiana Trouvé, as well as professor, theorist and art critic Christophe Kihm.

  

The EIB Institute will cover the artists’ travel costs to Paris, from Paris to Luxembourg, and from Luxembourg.

  
The artists will receive an €80 flat-rate daily allowance to cover their living costs during the residency and all or part of the production costs, and will be provided with a live-in studio space.

  
In addition to the above, the artists will be granted a contribution towards production of €500 at the beginning of the residency and a success fee of €1,000 at the end of the residency, provided that they have produced a work or body of works.

  
Upon completion of the residency, the EIB may consider acquiring an artwork produced on-site by the artists.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 2025 edition of its Artists Development Programme (ADP) in partnership with Cité internationale des arts (Paris), and neimënster (Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture) (Luxembourg,) for which it is looking for ONE visual artist (born after 1 January 1990) from Austria, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Luxembourg or Slovakia.

  
The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a three-month residency, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a renowned artist. In 2025, the residency will take place over three months between the Cité internationale des arts in Paris for two months (September-October), and neimënster for one month (November).

The EIB Institute was set up within the EIB Group (European Investment Bank and European Investment Fund) to promote and support social, artistic, cultural, and academic initiatives with European stakeholders and the public at large. One of its flagship initiatives is the Artists Development Programme (ADP). The ADP offers European visual artists a residency mentored by an internationally renowned artist. It enables artists to develop their practice and work on the production of an artwork without any material constraints. Upon its completion, a series of events mark the end of the residency: an exhibition, the introduction of the artists to appropriate public fora, and, typically, the acquisition of the programme’s artworks by the EIB to enrich its contemporary art collection.

  
**About the Cité internationale des arts -** The Cité internationale des arts is an artists’ residency centre that brings together artists in the heart of Paris and allows them to implement a creative or research project in all disciplines.

  
For periods of two months to a year, in the Marais or in Montmartre, the Cité internationale des arts allows artists to work in an environment conducive to creation and open to meetings with professionals from the cultural milieu. Artists in residence benefit from customised support from the Cité internationale des arts team and the opportunity to meet and exchange with more than 300 artists and art professionals of all generations, nationalities, and disciplines. In collaboration with its many partners, the Cité internationale des arts calls for applications on specific themes and/or projects several times a year.

  
**About neimënster -** Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture, also known as neimënster, is a historical site in Luxembourg City with a rich history spanning four centuries. Originally a Benedictine abbey, it later served as a military bastion and prison, including during the Nazi occupation. Today, it is a cultural center focused on restoring its spiritual vocation and promoting humanist values.

  
neimënster hosts a wide range of events, including concerts, conferences, arts performances, festivals, and exhibitions. Many of these events are free, and the public parts of neimënster are open seven days a week. Additionally, neimënster provides support and space for artistic experimentation through artist residencies, offering accommodations and workspaces for resident artists, and the possibility of public work-in-progress presentations.

The residency will take place from the beginning of September until the end of November 2025, with two months in France and one month in Luxembourg.

**The EIB Institute will cover the artist’s travel costs to Paris, from Paris to Luxembourg, and from Luxembourg.**

The artist will receive an €80 flat-rate daily allowance to cover his/her living costs during the residency and all or part of the production costs, and will be provided with a living/working space.

In addition to the above, the artist will be granted a contribution towards production of €500 at the beginning of the residency and a success fee of €1 000 at the end of the residency, provided that he/she has produced a work or body of works.

Upon completion of the residency, the EIB may consider acquiring an artwork produced on-site by the artist.

Geographic Call - Artists Development Programme 2025

The European Investment Bank (EIB) Institute is pleased to announce the 2025 edition of its Artists Development Programme (ADP) in partnership with Cité internationale des arts (Paris) and neimënster (Neumünster Abbey Heritage Site for Culture) (Luxembourg), for which it is looking for ONE visual artist (born after 1 January 1990) from an EU Member State to work on the theme “Art & Development,” organised conjointly with the Metis Fund, an innovative public/private institution hosted by the French Development Agency (AFD).

  
Drawing upon the joint expertise of the EIB and Metis/AFD, “Art & Development” aims to interrogate the role that artistic creation can play in anticipating, facilitating or even actively engaging societal transformations, whether psychic or operational. Artists are invited to reflect on the links and/or ruptures that exist between creative expression and the construction of a more just and sustainable world. The research carried out by the selected laureate will thus explore the position and content of their artistic creation, in relation to their role vis-à-vis sustainability issues faced by societies around the world. These could include technical progress, infrastructure construction, access of vulnerable populations to essential services (health, education, employment, energy, water, food, etc.), the preservation of ecosystems, cultural heritage, the roles and quality of institutions, justice, tolerance, the capacities of human beings to live and compose together and the renewal of narratives on the future.

  
The ADP offers emerging European visual artists a three-month residency, enabling them to develop their practice and create a new (body of) work(s), boosted by the mentorship of a renowned artist. In 2025, the residency will take place over three months between the Cité internationale des arts in Paris for two months (September-October), and neimënster in Luxembourg for one month (November).
