Rijksakademie Residency 2011
Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to draw your attention to the forthcoming selection procedure for new artists for the Rijksakademie residency 2011. The Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam is – as you probably know – an international research and production for talented emerging professional artists from all continents. Fifty resident artists work for two years on research and production, aimed at deepening and expanding their artistic practice. Advice by international professionals, and facilities such as extensive technical workshops, a library and an art collection make the Rijksakademie a unique combination of an artist residency and a research centre.
I would very much appreciate it if you would bring the call for entries to the attention of talented artists who, in your opinion, might benefit from the possibilities the Rijksakademie residency offers. A period at the Rijksakademie proves to have the most effect on an artist’s career, three to five years of professional experience before applying.
The call for entries (see below/attachment) can be forwarded.
Application is only possible through our online application form available from www.rijksakademie.nl. The deadline for applications for the January – December 2011 residency is 1 February 2010.Thank you very much for your interest and cooperation.
kind regards,
Sascha Roosdorp

kudos
Using various documentation strategies, my work examines issues of identity and social representation by focusing the lens on myself and my community. I explore the connections between constructed space and constructed subjectivity through sculpture, photography, video and projection. The spaces I create – queer, safe, architectural, and emotional – form a critically reconstructed mirror of reality, an alternative environment in which all forms of intimacy are allowed to be visible. I use social and visual material of my own life to represent spaces of transformative potential and desire.
