Art School MAA invites an artist, writer or curator for a one-month residency stay in Helsinki for the month of November 2009.

 

The residency-guest has the possibility to propose a project for the annual light and sound art festival in Helsinki, the Forces of Light (www.valonvoimat.org), and is expected to contribute to the teaching program of ‘X-OP European Studies’ with a single lecture or a workshop. X-OP European Studies is a special international study program of Art School MAA, commencing in September 2009, with a focus in critically thinking of Europe, European Union, and possibilities and challenges of internationalism for visual artists.

 

We offer accommodation in the guest apartments of HIAP – Helsinki International Artist-in-residency Programme in the Suomenlinna-island, where also Art School MAA is located. Also we provide with connections to the local art scene and aim at helping with facilitating the artistic production during the residency.
