MGLC Švicarija: Critic in Residence Programme 2020

Deadline for applications: 17 February 2020

The international residency programme focuses on exploring and reflecting upon contemporary visual art; however, we are also interested in crossing art disciplines and human sciences. Therefore, we regularly welcome art writers seeking to learn about and reflect upon local art scene.

Our aim is to host an art critic or cultural journalist active in writing and publishing reviews and/or other forms of art writing in the international context, who is interested in Ljubljana’s vibrant art scene and will produce at least two (2) pieces of writing (reviews, interviews, columns, etc.) on selected artist(s), art exhibition(s) or art event(s) in Ljubljana over the course of the residency. The articles shall be published in English language in a relevant periodical (printed or online), radio, television or personal blog. The selection will also be based on the candidate who can provide the best possible outreach for the articles produced during the one-month “critic in residency” period in Ljubljana.

The period of the residency is 1–31 October 2020.

- an art critic or cultural journalist who will publish (at least) two articles about the selected artist(s), art exhibition(s) or art event(s) in Ljubljana in a magazine or journal, newspaper, online portal, radio, television, or personal blog;
- an art critic or cultural journalist who has a desire to explore new art scenes;
- a skilled writer who has proven experience in writing and publishing articles on contemporary art;

In addition:

- priority will be given to critics / journalists who work for relevant media with wider outreach;
- the successful candidate must have a genuine interest in discovering the local art scene, meeting artists and seeing exhibitions or other events happening during the residency.

What we offer:

- free accommodation in a fully-equipped studio apartment;

PROJECT PARTNERS

Located in Ljubljana’s central Tivoli Park, MGLC Švicarija is a cultural, educational and social hub that offers public programmes, studio facilities for local artists, and residencies for international artists and art experts. It is home to a public programme that follows the concept of ‘community, art and nature’. It is part of MGLC - International Centre of Graphic Arts, a specialised museum, producer of printed and contemporary art, and provider of artist residencies, based on the heritage of the 20th century art of printmaking and Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic Arts, the world’s oldest printmaking biennale which has been running uninterrupted since 1955.

The Igor Zabel Association for Culture and Theory operates with the legacy of Igor Zabel, an influential Slovene curator, art writer and art historian (1958–2005), by putting his work in dialogue with current questions and phenomena in the field of contemporary art, art history writing, and curatorial practices in the Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and beyond.
