Unfolding the Place. Placing the Folds

AIR InSILo is an independent artist‑run residency located in Hollabrunn, Lower Austria, about 50 km north of Vienna. Each year the programme announces a thematic open call; the 2027 edition, titled “when the hourless seeps”, is curated by Ahmad Darkhabani and runs in two stages. Stage 1 (open until 30 December 2026, 23:00 CET) requires a short motivation letter, anonymised portfolio link and a €7 solidarity fee (waivers available for displaced persons). Selected artists move to Stage 2, where they submit a detailed proposal. The residency offers a 7‑week stay (April‑May or June‑July 2027) with free accommodation in a 70 m² house, shared workshops, garden and courtyard, as well as a substantial honorarium (up to €2 450) plus material, travel and transport allowances. Residents receive five mentoring sessions with the curator, PR support, and a feature in the InSILo Magazine. The programme emphasizes inclusivity, late‑emerging artists (around age 35), and does not accept current undergraduate or graduate students (PhD candidates are eligible). Applicants must spend at least 80 % of the residency time on site; wheelchair access is not available and children under three are not accommodated. The call is open internationally, with application materials accepted in English, German or Russian.
