Announcement Fellowship Collegium Helveticum Z|rich 02/03


The Collegium Helveticum of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
Zurich awards a Fellowship supported by the 'Zuger Kulturstiftung Landis

& Gyr'for an artist from Middle or Eastern Europe who has completed
graduate studies in multimedia arts and/or has practical experience in
the
area of feature and documentary film.
The fellowship covers a six-month stay at the Collegium Helveticum from
mid October 2002 till mid April 2003.

The Collegium Helveticum is an academic institution for the dialogue
between the sciences and between science, literature and the arts. It
offers
a one-year graduate programme for 8 - 10 younger researchers from the
sciences as well as the humanities and invites senior academic guests
for
longer periods. The Collegium Helveticum organises seminars, workshops
and
symposia on issues involving a transdisciplinary perspective and seeks
to
include the public context actively in its work.

The artist-in-residence is expected to participate in the intellectual
and
social life of the Collegium Helveticum. This includes communication
about
artistic processes and an interest in the diverse material and
discussions
at the collegium; a command of German and/or English is essential.

During the academic year 2002/2003 the Collegium will focus on the
topics
of narrativity and narrative structures in science and art. The artist
in
residence is supposed to develop a project relating to these areas of
investigation in collaboration with the collegiates and scientific staff
of
the collegium.

The fellowship covers a fixed budget for travel and living expenses
during
the stay in Zurich. Working space, technical facilities (digital video
equipment) and material will be provided.

Artists interested should submit their application consisting of their
curriculum vitae, a short outline of their motivation and expectations
and
how they intend to respond to the specific situation and focus described

above as well as a documentation of their work (e.g. videos (no
Betaformats), DVDs, publications, catalogues or other material) and two
letters of recommendation before
