Once again it’s that time of the year: the Bibliothek Andreas Züst is pleased to announce an open call for three studio residency stipends for stays in April 2020.

GLACIOLOGY, PUNK, SCI-FI

Located at a majestic site on St. Anton in the Appenzell Alps, this residency program founded in 2016 offers an ideal atmosphere for working through a mixture of inspiration, retreat, and exchange. For a stay in April 2020, applications will be accepted until 31 October 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 April. Accommodations are provided at the Alpenhof Panoramaherberge where the Bibliothek Andreas Züst has been housed since 2010. 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, glaciology, astronomy, science fiction, physics, literature, photography, art, kitsch, and popular culture. Desired projects for the open call submittal 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.
