Q-O2, our Belgian partner of the project TEKHNÉ – Be Aware of Sound project, offers two types of residencies for artists working in and with sound:
- 7 thematic residencies of 6 weeks
Q-O2 welcomes artists, researchers, art educators and cultural workers working with autonomous and experimental approaches to technology, as well as questions about what can be considered technology. These residencies are a space to explore a line of research, without the need to produce a concrete, final project. Q-O2 especially motivates practitioners interested in different models of education, and in finding ways to share their research outside the established publics for sound art and experimental music.
Q-O2 provides accommodation, working space and materials, technical and curatorial support, and the possibility to present a concert, workshop or artist talk. For the tekhnē residencies Q-O2 offers a per diem of 25€/day per residency, as well as travel costs within Europe.
- 10 open research residencies of 4 weeks for artists working with sound in any field
Residencies open for artists, art workers and theorists working in and with sound. These residencies provide an open space for research and reflection at Q-O2. Residencies can address any topic pertinent to the applicant’s practice and research, and are open to both international and local practitioners.
