Ars Bioarctica Residency 2013 – application deadline 6.4.2013
Since 2010 the Finnish Society of Bioart is organizing the ARS
BIOARCTICA RESIDENCY PROGRAM together with the Kilpisjärvi Biological
Station of the University of Helsinki in the sub-Arctic Lapland.
The residency takes place in the facilities of the Kilpisjärvi
Biological Station. It provides the residents with a combined living and
working environment, a basic laboratory, internet connection and sauna.
The Kilpisjärvi Biological Station offers to the residents the same
possibilities and infrastructure as its scientists and staff. This
includes access to scientific equipment, laboratory facilities, the
library and seminar room as well as the usage of field equipment. A
dedicated contact person in Kilpisjärvi will familiarize residents with
the local environment and customs.
The emphasis of the residency is on the Arctic environment, art&science
collaboration and is open for artists, scientists and interdisciplinary
research teams.
Applications have to include:
* a biography and CV of the applicant or group
* a work plan
* the desired residency starting time and duration
Travel to and within Finland to Kilpisjärvi have to be covered by the
applicant. The Finnish Society of Bioart will assist with the funding
process.
The evaluation of the applications emphasizes the quality of the
proposal, its interaction of art&science, its artistic and scientific
significance, the projects relation to the thematics of Ars Bioarctica
and its feasibility to be carried out at the Kilpisjärvi Biological
Station in the given time.
