Books, the Alpstein Mountains, and Nebelmeer [Sea of Thick Mist]

Once again this spring, the Bibliothek Andreas Züst is conducting an open call for three studio residency stipends for stays in November 2018.

Located on St. Anton at 1,110 m.a.s.l. in the Appenzell Alps, the residency program offers the best conditions for inspiration and concentration. For a stay during the upcoming month of November 2018, entries will be accepted until 31 May 2018 from national and international cultural workers (individuals or teams of up to four persons) in all disciplines (e.g., visual arts, literature, new media, music, theatre, design, architecture, film, photography as well as applied arts and art-related sciences including art history). A new feature of the program is that the duration of the stay is now only four full weeks. Accommodations are provided at the Alpenhof Panoramaherberge on a self-organized basis. Depending on the Alpenhof’s bookings, the lodge can be bustling with activity or very quiet.

Sought are projects that deal with the Bibliothek as a whole or one of its sub-sections. An explanation of the motivation and aims must be included with the application. We are especially interested in how these respective intentions relate to the cosmos of the Bibliothek. The stipend award includes a free-of-charge stay as well as travel expenses to the Alpenhof. A subsistence allowance of CHF 250/week may be additionally requested.

Apply now! Detailed information about the studio residency stipend and the application process can be found at: www.bibliothekandreaszuest.net/residency
