Accelerate Finland:
Open Call for Entries

Deadline 4 November, 2019

Arts at CERN<https://arts.cern/>, in Geneva, in partnership with the Finnish organisation Capsula<http://www.capsula.fi/> (art-science-nature), is offering an individual artist or artistic collective the opportunity to apply for a one-month research residency at one of the world’s largest particle physics laboratories, CERN.

Accelerate Finland is an open call for Finnish artists interested in carrying out artistic research inspired by the world of particle physics, in dialogue with scientists, engineers and staff, during an artistic residency of one month at CERN, the European Laboratory of Particle Physics in Geneva, Switzerland.

The main goal of the Accelerate programme is to foster artistic investigation in connection with scientific research and fundamental physics. A jury of experts from culture and science will review the proposals received out of the call. One individual artist or collective will be selected from all the received proposals and will be invited to CERN in 2020 to explore possible new scenarios for enquiry in arts and science.

Saastamoinen Foundation<http://saastamoinenfoundation.fi/> and and The Committee for Public Information<https://www.tjnk.fi/> (TJNK) support Capsula for the Accelerate Finland residency award, a collaboration with Arts at CERN.
