Description

Located in a town of 1,500 inhabitants, the residences at Usine Utopik offer a privileged setting for artists to design a project leading to an exhibition. The center helps support artists in all phases of work, from research to dissemination. The Utopik Factory aims to be a space for experimentation and research to support and promote artistic projects, and to encourage meetings with the public through times of exchange, discovery and practice.

The call for residency is aimed at all qualified artists with professional practice in contemporary creation (painting, sculpture, installation, photography, drawing, ceramics, performance, etc.) without age and nationality limits. With six residencies per year, from spring to fall, Usine Utopik simultaneously welcomes three artists. This organization requires collaboration for the exhibition which could give rise to a common artistic project.

Description

Launched in 2005, this biennial reciprocal residency program was initiated by the City of Frankfurt’s Cultural Department, establishing a link between the Centre européen d’actions artistiques contemporaines (CEAAC) in Strasbourg and basis e.V., a non-profit association that fosters and supports emerging international creative work. Notably, the program has supported the work of German artist Arhun Aksakal (2023) and Béatrice Steimer (2025). On the French side, artists Ouissem Moalla (2023) and Alexandre Caretti (2025) benefited from the residency program to bring their projects to life, as well as from a solo exhibition at the CEAAC following the exchange.

The call is open to early- to mid-career artist-author-researchers working in the visual arts across all mediums; there are no age or nationality restrictions, though applicants must demonstrate a connection to the Grand Est region.

Description

Applications are now open for our Virtual Residency (Fall 2026) and our NYC Residency (Spring 2027), both of which will explore the theme through critical inquiry and making, supported by funding, mentorship, and access to tools and expertise from Eyebeam's network.

Eyebeam is inviting artists to explore questions of agency at a moment when AI systems are increasingly acting, making decisions, and carrying out tasks on our behalf. How do we preserve human agency as these systems become more capable of shaping human behavior? How do we assert agency in imagining and building the societies we inhabit? And how might our understanding change if we think about agency as collective, relational, entangled, and more-than-human?
