[artinfo] Visegrad Fund call for Visual and Sound Artists Residencies

[by way of János Sugár]

Artists, and everyone to whom it may concern:

As you might have seen already, the Visegrad Fund 
call for Visual and Sound Artists Residencies are 
open.
The Deadline to apply is 15 October 2023. You 
have to apply personally as an artist for this, 
and come from PL, SK, HU.

If you are interested in coming to KRA Vyso?ina 
(Kravín Rural Arts), please send a proposal and 
we can provide you with the necessary documents, 
like a letter of acceptance etc...
We usually accept residencies for summer (June till October)
More information on our activities you can find on the website.

For 2024 we are looking for artists who are 
interested in bioacoustics of water soundscapes 
(ponds, rives, ditches, rains, etc) and species 
monitoring via ultrasonics (bats, crickets, mice, 
etc). We are setting up a program combining 
citizen science and creative performances. Those 
are big words but let's keep it simple and if you 
like to expand your field recordings in those 
areas, feel welcome and join in with or 
contribute to the Summer of the KRA program 2024. 
It is a nice depopulated area around here, in 
between protected natural and agricultural areas.

Something general:

KRA (kravin rural arts, https://kra.land) is 
installed in a historical building, or old 
neglected farm, or simply: a ruin. We invite 
artists to work experimentally with ecology and 
technology, from within the countryside, in a 
natural environment. Apart from these 
residencies, we host an alternative music 
festival (on/off) and organize presentations, 
performances, participations. During the korona 
years, we set up ButtuLab.Space as an incubator 
for introducing new digital skills (3D 
design/print, audiovisual, radio, networks, ...) 
as a creative collaboration between the local 
social and artisanal, media and co-working, 
biofarming, leisure and learning places. KRA 
participated in international art-science and 
media art festivals/initiatives throughout the 
year (Réveil, Nextfestival, World Listening Day, 
Cultural EU Capital Esch art radio, Art's 
Birthday, and more things you know better). We 
also have contacts with sister-initiatives 
throughout Europe through the PAN network, and of 
course: CENSE! KRA's overal mission is to 
establish a shared infrastructure and contribute 
to the development of a liveable, critical and 
creative, environmental 21st century countryside. 
Sustained nearby, and connected elsewhere around. 
Yes, the New Rural Development: let's make it 
(DIY)!
