Project Funding Academy | Art | Public Sphere

Deadline: Thursday, Mar 10, 2022, 11:00am

The call for proposals Academy | Art | Public Sphere Project Funding invites all regular students and staff of the Academy to submit projects that proactively position themselves in public spheres.

The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna is a place of diverse artistic, scientific, social practices, perspectives and thought. It sees itself as a social force and proactively intends to become more involved in public debates within the coming years.

One of the Academy's declared focal points is its engagement within different and diverse public urban audiences, addressees and actors. Characterising its understanding of artistic practices, including intervention in public space, as well as actionist and activist art forms, mediation of scientific work and profiling university policies.  

At the same time, the Academy's claim onto artistic and scientific research is recursive in a comprehensive way: Shaping public discourses which condition the Academy itself. The work of such a recursive university is based on a coordinated and well-networked event policy and practice, including artistic interventions and political debates as well as scientific conferences.
