Get matched →TRACES is launching an international call for a professional visual artist for a three-month residency on the Energypolis campus in Sion, Switzerland. The artist will develop a project in dialogue with the Laboratory for Energy Materials of the EPFL, focusing on light, matter, energy, and future materials. All visual arts disciplines are eligible.
The program is centered on the dialogue between visual creation and energy materials sciences. Installation, sculpture, digital media, visual performance, and photography are particularly accepted. The themes are art and science, light and matter, energy, future materials, energy transition, sustainability, scientific research, interdisciplinary creation, and innovation.
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Applying to this residency is free. Artists are responsible for food, local mobility, phone expenses, visa procedures, and travel documents. An insurance covering medical assistance and accidents in Switzerland is mandatory.
English is the main working language, but French and German are also possible. The artistic proposal can remain open during the application, with the jury evaluating the relevance of the dialogue with the laboratory rather than a finalized work. The budget for production will be determined later. Conditions related to intellectual property, exploitation of works, and communication will be specified in the contract with the laureate. This is a highly selective pilot phase, with only one artist selected.
