About MoTA residency program

MoTA – Museum of Transitory Art was the first artist in residency programme for new media and audivoisual arts in Ljubljana. We understand our residency program as a platform for dialogue and collaborative work. Working closely with artists, researchers and curators, we aim to develop long-term and sustainable collaborations and engage with projects which mobilise art and other communities in order to produce new thoughts, actions and directions. Since its beginning in 2007, MoTA has hosted artists such as Mia Makela- SOLU, Felix Thorn, @C, Jorge Rodriguez Gerada, Andre Goncalves and many others.

The local context of MoTA

LJUBLJANA is a relatively young capital with a rich independent artistic and cultural scene. Even though it is a very small capital city, it is overflown with students and a lot of action. MoTA is a non-profit organisation founded in 2001 under the name CodeEp- its previos incarnation focused on visual communication, public space and electronic music. Following CodeEp principles of reviving degraded areas of the city by bringing art to those spaces that have been forgotten, MoTA focuses entirely on transitory art and expands this philosophy to a concept of a museum in space and time.

As an organisation with a 12 year history, MoTA has throughout been actively shaping the cultural map of Ljubljana – reviving public spaces, bringing innovative ideas, developing and kicking off new platforms, collectives, artists and musicians, exhibiting and touring with artworks in public space and finally developing a residency – production and research platform for foreign artists in Ljubljana.

ABOUT ARTos residency

*there is a ceiling price (round trip to Larnaca airport)

We are especially looking for projects concerning:

1. Floating monuments (monuments floating on water) based on figures or events based on the geopolitical region of Eastern Europe and eastern Mediterranean.
2. Electro-acoustic performances with or without visuals for performances at the sea environment
3. Research (scientific, visual, sound, performing, writing….) based on the question “Does Europe Exist?”

The curatorial team will decide based on the needs and type of the projects selected where it is best to host each resident artist/researcher. As the element of water will be dealt with, there is also the option for accommodation near the sea, which allows for inspiration, experimentation, testing and activation.

Residency spaces are located in Meneou (seaside), Protaras (seaside) and Nicosia (inland).
