Recalibration at AIR InSILo

For the first time, AIR InSILo invites curators to examine the achievements and experience of the current residency programme of AIR InSILo and develop their vision for a new future themed open call for artists. There is no requirement for the topic of the suggestions, but they should demonstrate the necessity, relevance, and significance of such a programme at AIR InSILo, taking into account its concept, direction and location.

This call is addressed to curators who:

• Are willing to design a future call for AIR InSILo

• Wish to co-curate a future round at AIR InSILo

• Explore the concept and phenomenon of artist residencies

• Are interested in issues of regionalism and localism

• Critically reflect on the concept of sustainability concerning artistic practice
