CALL TO AUSTRALIAN ARTISTS | 2016 RESIDENCY in The Netherlands The Rijksakademie Van Beeldende Kunsten (Netherlands State Academy of Visual Arts) in Amsterdam, offers residencies to around fifty artists with the goal of providing space for research, experiment and production. The Academy offers residencies to emerging professional artists from both the Netherlands and abroad to develop their work and ideas at the highest level. As of today, upcoming artists (aged 25-35) with a few years of professional experience after their education can apply for the 2016 residency. The residency lasts one year and can be extended to two. Resident artists work in an individual studio in the former Cavalry Barracks surrounded by approximately 50 peers from all over the world. Ongoing dialogues take place with a group of prominent artists, theoreticians and professionals from other disciplines, who are connected to the Rijksakademie as advisors. Ideas can be developed in co-operation with a team of interdisciplinary technical specialists in well-equipped technical workshops. Furthermore there is a theory workshop offering a specialized art library, (historical) collections as well as a program with seminars and discussions related to topics arising from the artist community. Presentation of the work and connections to an international network form a part of the two-year residency program.
