Description

Residency Unlimited supports the creation, presentation and dissemination of contemporary art through its unique residency program and year-round public programs. RU in partnership with Visual AIDS announces a one-month curatorial residency, which will take place between March 1 and March 31, 2015 in New York City. The residency seeks to encourage the development of exhibitions, programs, and scholarship about HIV/AIDS and contemporary art.

The resident curator will conduct research at Visual AIDS in the Archive Project and online Artists Registry and will be invited to produce a free, public event co-hosted by RU and Visual AIDS. Panel discussions, film screenings, performances, or a lecture highlighting the curator’s use of Visual AIDS’ resources or a presentation of international cultural production around HIV/AIDS are examples of potential programs.

Eligibility

The residency is open to international curators, art historians, or arts writers interested in the intersection of visual art and HIV/AIDS. Special consideration will be given to applicants living outside of New York City from locations without support for cultural production about AIDS, LGBT, and gender issues.

Fellowship

The residency includes round-trip transportation to New York City, accommodation and $1000 stipend.
