Welcome to the Goethe-Institut in Bangalore

The Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore once again announces an Artist-in-residence project in collaboration with the Bangalore studio-gallery 1 Shanti Road.

1 Shanti Road is a reputed atelier in Bangalore with simple, when compared with European standards, yet pleasant working and living spaces. The duration of the residency could be one or two months and would include a stipend of 1200 € per month, the international airfare from Germany to Bangalore and back, and accommodation for a maximum of 2 months at 1 Shanti Road. International health insurance and visa charges have to be borne by the artist.

Applications are invited from artists who are living and working in Germany, and looking for a stint in an expanding global metropolis like Bangalore to complete or complement a particular art project. The precise reasons underlying the desire to pursue an artistic project in a city like Bangalore should be specified. It is not essential that the project should be completed during the duration of the residency, but in any case an “open studio” at 1 Shanti Road is mandatory at the end of the residency. This event should provide the first glimpses into the outcome of the residency.

As well as pursuing his or her own project, the incumbent will be expected to interact with the local art world. 1 Shanti Road is ideal for this purpose since it is very closely networked with the art scene in Bangalore.

Last date for receipt of applications: March 28, 2010.
The residency must be completed in 2010

Required documents (please send only soft copy in English and German)
 - Passport photo
 - Resumé
 - Reasons for applying for the residency and outline of the artistic aims and objectives on one single A4 size sheet, including preferred dates for the residency in 2010
