In collaboration with Borderland Residencies, IKOB – Museum für Zeitgenössische Kunst launches an open call for a three-month artist residency in Eupen, Belgium (September – December 2024). They are looking for proposals that seek to use this time and space to develop a project on the theme of the SUPERNATURAL.

Departing from an open understanding of the supernatural and its possible interpretations, the residency invites artists to connect with the region through an exploration of the unseen, the mystical, and the otherworldly. They are looking for projects that aim for a direct engagement with local (hi)stories, the natural environment or geographical particularities through the lens of the supernatural.
