The Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics 
(MPIEA), Frankfurt/Main, proudly announces its 
new Artist-in-Residence program INHABIT. The 
program fosters the exchange between artists and 
scientists and enables new and challenging 
perspectives towards the research at the 
Institute. It calls on artists interested in 
cooperating with scientists from the humanities.

INHABIT invites artists from a wide range of 
visual and performing arts disciplines to spend 
three months at the institute and to develop a 
new work or elaborate on an existing project. 
Residents are expected to execute their project 
as a performance, exhibition, or concert in 
cooperation with a local exhibition venue. During 
the artists' residence in Frankfurt, the MPIEA 
provides space and resources and thus facilitates 
an environment for experimentation, dialogue, and 
collaboration
