Is the artistic space you create a place for exchange and communication?
Is
your art practice socially engaged?
Are you investigating interconnectedness and sociopolitical
agency
in your work?
If some of these questions relate to you, we look forward to hearing from you!
In
cooperation with APL – Angewandte Performance Laboratory, HUFAK – Student union of the Angewandte (ÖH) and the INTRA research
project “Archives in Practice” we look for individual or group student projects that engage with transdisciplinary, socially
engaged art practices.
The selected projects will be accompanied by mentors and peer feedback over
the course of the upcoming summer semester 2023, with a core phase in May/June at the APL Angewandte. The aim of the pilot
project is to offer you a welcoming and safe framework that enables you to carry out independent, artistic work across institutes
– from the conception of ideas to applied practice – all in the summer semester 2023.

The submitted project cannot be a ZKF/ Semesterproject. The selection is made according to the available
resources. The number of projects selected is based on necessity and division of resources. The amount of the project grant

the INTRA research project “Archives in Practice”. The selection will be based on a number of different
criteria connected to relevance and feasibility. Contentwise, we are open to a multitude of methods and practices.
