Mensch Maschine VISIT – artist residency in Germany

Mensch Maschine VISIT is a fully funded artist residency programme run by the E.ON Stiftung in partnership with the Akademie der Künste (Berlin), E‑WERK Luckenwalde and the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art (Warsaw). The 2027 edition, titled “ENERGY GHOSTS”, invites proposals that critically engage with energy, technology and ecology, encouraging work that explores invisible infrastructures, myth, and speculative futures. Four fellows (three at E‑WERK Luckenwalde, one at the Akademie der Künste) receive a €20,000 grant, accommodation, studio space (for three fellows), mentorship and curatorial support. The residency runs from mid‑August to mid‑November 2027, with a retreat in Warsaw and a concluding symposium in Berlin. Applicants of any nationality and age may apply individually or as groups, provided they can reside on‑site for at least 75 % of the period. Applications are submitted online, with a deadline of 1 December 2026.

€20,000 grant for project costs, housing, studio space (for three fellows), mentorship, curatorial support, and access to equipment.

Open to artists of any nationality and age; must live on‑site for at least 75 % of the three‑month period; group applications allowed; no strict genre limits.
