ArtScene Trondheim and Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder (LKV) is announcing for the fourth time a guest residency for visiting critics. The aim is to give critics the opportunity to become acquainted with Trondheim's art and cultural life and strengthen the critical dialogue about art in the city. Critics who write about visual art, art in public space/urban development, architecture, performing arts, music or dance can apply.
The selected critics will have accommodation and workspace for one month at Lademoen Kunstnerverksteder in Trondheim, either in September 2027 or October 2028. The residency takes place in a fully equipped one-room guest apartment, and the critic receives a stipend of 15,000 kroner from ArtScene Trondheim as well as payment for a text assignment according to the Critics' Association rates. It may also be relevant to collaborate with the guest critic on a public event, such as a contribution or panel discussion.
The scheme is directed towards critics based in the Nordic region (Trondheim-based critics are not considered). Applications are submitted via an electronic form with an attached PDF containing a description of critical work and motivation, two text examples and CV. The jury consists of representatives from NTNU University Library, BABEL and ArtScene Trondheim.
