Bed linen is provided and residents can use the laundry facilities. Residents can use our Print Studio and have the assistance of a printmaking technician.

Period of use

Up to 2 months.

The programme orientation of the MGLC Švicarija – community, art and nature – and the location of the residency centre on the border between city and nature, on the edge of a city park and a forest, led us to utopian, dystopian and fantasy reflections on what the end of the world could look like. Will it be experienced as a general terrestrial and human catastrophe of planetary proportions, or it will be a gradual, almost invisible and silent obliteration of the individual, until there is nothing human left here and now? There are many possible end-of-the-world scenarios – including those that will predict post-Anthropocene coexistence on Earth and beyond. Art can be visionary and inspiring in this respect.

The residency is therefore intended as a two-month reflection on the end of the world, which may result in a new artistic production, curatorial research or theoretical reflection.

Users

The selected resident has their accommodation, travel and subsistence expenses covered.
