APPLICATION MATERIALS
Applications for the MAK Schindler Scholarship Program Artists and
Architects-in-Residence Program must include the following:
General information:
 name, address, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, nationality,
date of diploma,
 for organizational reasons, all materials submitted have to bear
the applicant's name and address or, in the case of team
applications, the responsible contact's name and address,
 a curriculum vitae (in German and in English),
 a text summary (in German and in English) which includes precisely,
formulated considerations, approaches, and strategies concerning the
stay in Los Angeles,
 a short definition (in German and English) of the applicant's
artistic objectives for the MAK Schindler Scholarship Program,
 a documentation of the applicant's realized works and projects
exploring the following issues in an innovative way:
o space (also urban space, living space, social space)
o the interface of art and architecture
o experimental spatial approaches in the form of objects,
installations, video works, films, texts, and new media projects.
The documentation should include pictures, video or film material,
catalogues, new media material, and the like (no originals).
We ask you to submit a representative selection of your works and
projects that conveys an idea of your line of thought. The material
submitted should not be larger than A3 and should weigh not more than
3 kilos. CD-ROM material must be suitable for PC and Mac and by all
means be accompanied by a printout (video, DVDs: WMV files
preferred).
The intensive concern with architecture and issues of space is to be
the subject of a critical reflection, which involves artistic,
architectural, and socially relevant tasks and functions. What is of
importance is the critical look at architecture and art as an
aesthetic language that structures the present, as a medium of
political and economic representation, as an expression of
individuality and a part of social life. The focus is on the
interaction of different media and strategies &#8722; built spaces and
spatial installations, painting, video, models, sculptures, urban
research, and projects in the public space.
MAK-SCHINDLER SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM, p. 5/12
What is important for assessing the L.A. project is a high degree of
independence in form and content; the ability to critically examine
current trends in art, architecture, and society; the compelling
connection with Los Angeles as the place of implementing or
continuing the applicant's own work as well as a conceptual and
experimental approach.
Additional requirements:
The result of the projects have to be presented in an exhibition in
the Schindler or Mackey House; the exhibition, which will last one or
several days, must comply with the possibilities of the MAK Center
for Art and Architecture. Participants in the MAK Schindler
Scholarship Program may organize complementary events that serve as a
presentation and discussion forum focusing on their work in progress.
 A regular cooperation at the MAK Center in the development and
implementation of programs and the occasional assistance with
exhibitions and events are expected.
