Art residency for audiovisual artists in Switzerland - Festival Schlossmediale 2027

A grant for a five-week residency will give three individually active artists the opportunity to develop new art at a location that is steeped in history, and to display, install or perform their work in the unique spaces of the castle in creative and open engagement with it. The works created will be shown in the castle during the Schlossmediale Festival. Each year a motto is chosen that defines the programme of the ten-day festival and is also the basis for a creative response by the artists in residence.

For its 2027 edition, the Schlossmediale festival brings out the many resonances of the concept of Klatsch (rumour-impact): music, visual arts, performance and installation explore what circulates between people, places, materials and memories. Disciplines: sound art, sound studies, audiovisual art, experimental instrument building, visual art, installations, sculpture, land art, performance. Sound installations without a visual dimension will not be taken into account.

Because of the individually different working methods, the artists in residence are obliged to purchase and bring along their most important tools on their own (i.e. hardware, software, technical equipment, special tools, etc.). The artwork must be finished and in perfect working order on the opening day of the festival.
