With the 17th Call for Web Residencies by Solitude "WEB RESIDENCIES BY SOLITUDE NO 17: »UNDESIRED BY THE MARKET: RESTING!«" artists are invited to experience, explore and enjoy taking a restful break in a utopian space of possibility from an intersectional and queer feminist perspective. Because the radical break – whether in the form of creative freedom in the context of a virtual artist residency or a self-chosen sabbatical – is, above all, one thing: a space of possibility.
Individual artists as well as groups and collectives are invited to adopt the space of the radical pause, shaping it as they see fit. Go on vacation, complete an aesthetic project that has long been eating up your breaks, or design your own break-free utopia: because perhaps breaks have become superfluous in our contemporary utopian spaces. Who knows?
Neither the curators nor the staff of Akademie Schloss Solitude will select projects for this call. After all, who can decide who is most in need of a break room? All groups and artists who apply for the call are then invited to decide who should be selected. This call is rewarded with a four-week residency and a 750-euro grant.
