Call for Applications (please distribute)

** Simultaneous Arrivals: Artistic Research Residency spring 2023 **

Simultaneous Arrivals (simularr) is an artistic research project on 
novel forms of collaborative practices within the PEEK framework of the 
Austrian Science Fund FWF (AR 714-G), running from 2022 until 2025.

simularr is happy to announce the open call for an artist-researcher to 
join and complement the team in Graz (Austria) during the first in-situ 
interval of the project for the period April and May 2023.

**Application timeline:** Submission deadline is 01 December 2022 
(e-mail reception, 24:00 CET). Short-listed applications will be 
notified on 08 December and invited to an online (Jitsi or Zoom) meeting 
on 16 December.

**About the Project**

simularr (https://simularr.net/) posits a novel mode of collaborative 
artistic process based on simultaneity and spatiality. These two 
elements act as ‘basic’ or ‘boundary’ concepts that guide artists 
working together, preserving diversity and individuality among the 
group, while binding the process as a whole and bridging boundaries 
between different practices. We aim to create new aesthetic approaches 
that reveal the collaborative process without collapsing to a single or 
synchronised position / object. The project designs methods that 
facilitate contact among the concurrent artistic processes and 
understanding how these concepts affect them. What are reference frames 
that allow to establish a “togetherness, at the same time”, and how do 
different types of spaces—thought spaces, aesthetic spaces, 
architectural spaces—and their corresponding modes of spatiality 
interact and interfere?

** Who the Call Addresses **

This call is directed at mid-career artists-researchers with prior 
experience in collaborative approaches and whose work incorporates 
spatial practices (e.g. intermedia, installation art, sound art, new 
media art, performing arts). Applicants should be able to demonstrate 
this through their past work (consistent portfolio / research material). 
They are capable and interested in exposing and reflecting their process 
and work through writing, discussion and other forms of discourse. They 
have an understanding of the field of artistic research, and they are 
intrigued by developing and sharing new approaches and methods for 
collaborative artistic practice and research with the team and with 
other artists-researchers during interval.

** How to Apply **
