            <p>Pikene på Broen (Girls on the Bridge) is happy to announce the BAR <br>
International artist-in-residency program open!<br>
BAR International invites artists from the Barents Region, Nordic <br>
countries and internationally to explore the Barents borderland in <br>
transition. Kirkenes, just a few miles from the borders to Russia and <br>
Finland, has become a transborder town, a gateway to Russia, a <br>
crossroad for political decisions and a laboratory for creative <br>
solutions to economic, cultural and social challenges in the border <br>
region.     <br>
BAR facilitates art-production and mediation in the Barents Region: <br>
both studio-based work/research and artistic process in public space. <br>
BAR is connected to other projects produced by Pikene på Broen: the <br>
annual winter festival Barents Spektakel and the Barents Art <br>
Triennial. These events become presentation arenas for works produced <br>
under art-residency. <br>
BAR is a 3-year project that was started in 2008. It is part of the <br>
Nordic AiR network, and is supported by the Nordic Culture Point, <br>
Norwegian Arts Council, Barents Secretariat, Norwegian Ministry of <br>
Foreign Affairs, Finnmark County and Sør-Varanger Municipality.<br>
Artists are invited to apply for an artist-in-residency in Kirkenes <br>
for a period of 1 to 6 months. <br>
BAR covers costs for your travel to Kirkenes, per diems, <br>
accommodation and office facilities. We provide local travel in the <br>
area around Kirkenes, as well as cover costs of the artistic <br>
production. <br>
<br>
Please, send us an application, including: <br>
- Name, address, telephone and e-mail,<br>
- Short about yourself and your work,<br>
- Proposal for your project in Kirkenes/ Barents Region,<br>
- Desired duration of stay (1 -6 months); please, indicate a possible <br>
time-period for your stay<br>
- CV (eventually visual material) <br>
<br>
We have no deadlines in 2008. Please, send us your application, and <br>
we reply within 10 days after we receive your application. <br>
A new application policy for 2009-2010 will be announced.        The <br>
application can be sent by e-mail to <a href="mailto:pikene%40pikene.no">pikene@pikene.<wbr>no</a> (please, <br>
put &quot;BAR International&quot; in the subject of your e-mail),<br>
or by regular mail to: Pikene på Broen, Box 180, N-9915 Kirkenes, <br>
Norway <br>

&quot;Kirkenes has changed from being the last station squeezed into a <br>
cold corner of the world, into being a beginning of something new and <br>
exciting. It has changed from being the end of the line, into being a <br>
place for transition. It has changed from being militarised to <br>
civilised. From being nationalised into being an international place, <br>
regionalised and globalised. From static to dynamic, from closed to <br>
open, from monocultural to multicultural, from masculine to feminine.<br>
Kirkenes has become a real bordertown, with trade and movement across <br>
the borders. Kirkenes has become a laboratory for a new time. It used <br>
to be a physical and psychological disadvantage. But not any more. <br>
Now it´s an interesting place at the forefront of exploding the <br>
closed and controlled national borders.&quot;  (Morten Strøksnes, writer <br>
and historian, 2003)<br>
