States focusing on the theme of "The Imprint of Man - Representing 
the Anthropocene."

The artist will receive a stipend (EUR 100 per day) and will be 
provided with a living/working space. At the end of the residency, 
the participant will receive a success fee of EUR 1,500, provided 
he/she has produced an artwork. The duration of the residency in
