Akademie Schloss Solitude
The Akademie Schloss Solitude is a foundation under public law that supports artists and scientists from various disciplines as well as cultural workers through living and working grants. As an international artist-in-residence program , the Academy has supported more than 1,400 young artists and scientists from over 120 countries since it was founded in 1990. It forms an important global and transdisciplinary network for the international art scene.
The name combines the idea of a refuge with the idea of artistic and scientific exchange. A stay enables the scholarship holders to devote themselves to their work projects under materially and intellectually favorable conditions. For them, the Akademie Schloss Solitude is a transdisciplinary learning unit, a platform for joint learning outside the formal education system and a place that opens up to a wider audience. By experimenting with artistic research practices and new formats, the academy would like to actively participate in social processes and initiate a cross-generational discourse.
The scholarship holders live and work in 45 furnished studios, which are located in the former office buildings of Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart . The academy is financed by grants from the state of Baden-Württemberg .
The founding director Jean-Baptiste Joly headed the academy from January 1, 1989 to March 31, 2018. Since May 1, 2018, Elke aus dem Moore has been director of the Akademie Schloss Solitude.
scholarship
Since 1990 the academy has been awarding residency grants of varying lengths (between six, nine and twelve months) every 24 months. Artists and scientists from the fields of "visual" (visual art & media), "auditory & physical" (music & performing arts), "digital" (digital art, gaming, digital journalism, digital publishing), " Apply spatially ”(architecture & design),“ textual ”(literature & language),“ social / community ”(education, communication, theory) and“ scientific ”(humanities, social, natural and economic sciences).
In addition, with the 2019 application round, the Academy expanded its profile to include a “thematic focus” for the first time, and from 2020, together with the KfW Foundation, will establish a new program with a focus on content with which a group of seven scholarship holders will work together over a period of nine months will deal with. With the thematic focus, the academy would like to strengthen the importance of transdisciplinary and discursive-artistic work in society and provide impetus for this.
The decision on the award of the scholarships is made by independent specialist jurors who are elected by a consortium every two years.
The online platform Schlosspost and the "Web Residencies" program are supported by the Ministry of Science, Research and Art of the State of Baden-Württemberg.
