Once again we are pleased to announce an open call for three studio residency stipends for stays in November 2019.

PRIVATE LIBRARY WITH A VIEW

Located at a majestic site on St. Anton in the Appenzell Alps, the residency program is not only enticing with its breathtaking view, but also offers an ideal atmosphere for working through a mixture of inspiration, retreat, and exchange. For a stay in November 2019, entries will be accepted until 31 May 2019. The open call is addressed to national and international cultural workers (individuals or teams of up to four persons) in all disciplines (visual arts, literature, new media, music, theatre, design, architecture, film, photography as well as applied arts and art-related sciences including art history). The duration of the stay is for the entire month of November. Accommodations are provided at the Alpenhof Panoramaherberge. Depending on the Alpenhof’s bookings, the lodge can be bustling with activity or very quiet. The stay is set up on a self-organized basis.

The Bibliothek Andreas Züst encompasses approximately 10,400 books on topics such as the weather, geology, astronomy, physics, literature, photography, art, kitsch, and popular culture. Desired projects for submittal to the open call are those that deal with the Bibliothek as a whole or one of its sub-sections. We are especially interested in how the main focus of individual artistic processes are put in relation 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.
