Estonia | ‘Wild Bits’ residency and technological art outdoor exhibition
The technological art farm Maajaam is calling for proposals from artists for installations, interventions, or processes to be placed in natural landscapes that explore the human condition in a contemporary technological society. The residency of up to 3 weeks will take place between June and July 2025 at Maajaam, Estonia.
Wild Bits is an exhibition concept that proposes a temporary art park in the wilderness. The exhibition seeks points of contact between people, technology, and nature and the artworks should be able to withstand outdoor conditions. The organisers encourage artists to consider energy-sustainable solutions, such as alternative sources (e.g., solar panels), and to be as economical as possible.
The produced works will remain in the possession of Wild Bits and Maajaam until 2028. By participating in this open call, the artist agrees that their works may also be displayed in satellite exhibitions co-organised or co-curated by Wild Bits.
The residency duration at Maajaam is up to three weeks, depending on the production plan. For an artist group, Maajaam can accommodate up to 3 people per collective.
The selected projects will receive:
- An artist’s fee of 3,000 EUR (per collective, gross salary, all taxes included)
- A production budget of up to 5,000 EUR
- An artists’ travel budget – 350 EUR per person within Europe and up to 700 EUR for artists traveling outside the EU
- Accommodation
- Two meals per day
Deadline: 24 March 2025
