Slovenia | AIR Celeia curator residency call

The Center for Contemporary Arts in Celje is publishing an open call for collaboration in the AIR Celeia 2022 programme, which will enable the selected curator to carry out an in-depth research of the visual art produced in Slovenia and to prepare a curatorial project that will be realised in the Center for Contemporary Arts in 2023. Exact dates will be agreed in collaboration with the selected curator. 

The AIR Celeia programme is conceived on the basis of a reciprocal model that enables the residential curator to become acquainted with, get in contact with, exchange experiences with, and get involved in the local artistic community, at the same time offering local artists the possibility of establishing new connections and forms of collaboration.

During a two-month residential stay, the selected curator will be expected to prepare a concept for a curatorial project which must include Slovenian artists (dual presentation of Slovenian and foreign artists). The Center for Contemporary Arts will arrange for the curator to connect with the city, to become well acquainted with the local artistic community and will offer all the necessary support in the realisation of the curatorial project.

The selected curator will be offered a two-month stay in the Center’s residential flat (located in the city centre in the immediate vicinity of the Center for Contemporary Arts and the local artistic district; the residential flat includes a kitchen, a studio, a bedroom, a bathroom and Internet), a grant of €600 per month and a royalty payment of €1000 after the realisation of the curatorial project.

Deadline: 16 February 2022
