About this opportunity
The Mensch Maschine VISIT Residency Programme, organised by VISIT (the artist-in-residence programme of the E.ON Foundation) in collaboration with JUNGE AKADEMIE of the Akademie der Künste, E-WERK Luckenwalde, and Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw, is offering four fully funded fellowships to artists worldwide.
The 2027 edition, titled ENERGY GHOSTS, invites artists to develop new projects exploring the relationship between art, energy, technology, and ecology. Selected artists will receive financial support and spend three months developing their projects through research, production, and engagement with the participating institutions. The programme will culminate in a presentation of work in progress at a symposium at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin.
