*For the third year in a row, steirischer herbst offers fellowships to
foster exchanges between its legacy and current academic or artistic
research. Submissions for a month-long residency in the festival’s archive
are accepted until 1 July.*


Since 1968, steirischer herbst has been setting standards in contemporary
art and curating. Following the launch of a research residency program in
2021, the steirischer herbst Research Residency Fellowship 2023 continues
to make the festival’s archival resources accessible as part of its mission
to place its history in dialogue with contemporary artistic and academic
practice. The fellowship supports and encourages innovative scholarly,
creative, and interdisciplinary inquiries into steirischer herbst’s
practice and history.

Festival archive

The archive includes a press archive, a media archive with over 1,300
items, a file archive, and a reference library holding over 3,000
publications from the 1960s to the present. The majority of items are not
digitized and in German.

Fellowship start and duration

September 2023 for one month

Support

Fellows receive a stipend of 1,500 euros plus an accommodation allowance of
up to 500 euros. Travel to and from Graz for the residency is also covered.
Fellows able to commute receive a commuting compensation instead. The
festival collaborates with a network of institutions in the city that the
fellow is introduced to throughout their stay.

Thematic angle

Due to the festival’s extensive history and interdisciplinary character,
the archive provides insight into a wide range of topics:

   - cultural politics of postwar Austria
   - art and politics in Austria and Central Europe from the 1960s to today
   - art in public space
   - politics of media and technology in art
   - history of contemporary curating in the visual arts, performance, and
   theater

Research proposals should address one of these topics.

A historical overview of the festival is provided on the retrospective
website
<https://steirischerherbst.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f4d9abb684390d669c129b22&id=35a5ba1b10&e=5df77b52db>
.

Application criteria

The fellowship is open to individuals from all countries. Applicants are
not required to speak German, but German-language skills will likely prove
advantageous when working with the archival material.

Applicants must submit a short proposal in English or German of up to 500
characters as well as a more extensive 750-word project description
outlining why research in the archive benefits their work and how the
festival’s history relates to their scholarly or artistic pursuits. They
should also include thoughts about how the research might manifest in
future projects and provide a CV with publications and links to relevant
websites or digital projects.

Application evaluation

Applications are evaluated based on how clearly the case for research in
the archive is made, including how this will enhance the applicant’s
practice. Applicants are encouraged to explore lesser-known facets of the
festival’s history. Research that pays attention to contemporary art’s
embeddedness in broad political and social contexts is given preference.

Expectations

Fellows are required to produce a work for presentation in the festival’s
spaces and on its website. It can take the form of a text, image, audio, or
video work (or combination thereof) that offers insights into their initial
findings and/or the direction of their research.

Fellows are asked to credit steirischer herbst in work resulting from the
Research Residency Fellowship.

Submission guidelines

Please email all application materials as a single PDF to Barbara Seyerl
<seyerl at steirischerherbst.at?subject=Research%20Residency%20Fellowship%20>
with the subject line “Research Residency Fellowship” by *1 July 2023*. For
further information or questions, please also contact Barbara Seyerl.
