About Opportunity

BLOCKFREI has developed an individual residence program for promising international contemporary art scholars, curators, theorists, critics, and/or art historians. The residency program's goal is to answer to the participants' individual professional objectives while also providing the candidates with the contacts they will need for their final research project. Throughout the program, the BLOCKFREI team will provide assistance to residents (logistics, connections, contacts, etc.). The residence will run from February to November 2022, with each participant able to choose a period of 1 to 3 months. Residents will conduct theoretical and empirical research related to their research objectives while in Vienna. There will be public cultural events (readings, lectures, presentations, conversations, etc.) or curatorial outputs (texts or exhibition proposals) at the conclusion of the residency that contains Vienna's "New Heritage." The outcomes of the residence will be shared with a larger audience (on-site or in digital format).

About Organizer

BLOCKFREI is an autonomous cultural organization based in Vienna that was created in 2013 as a platform for new cultural practices. The platform's goal is to foster interaction between cultural organizations in Austria and South-East Europe in order to raise awareness of cultural diversity.
