Curator in Residence

Belvedere/21er Haus CIR Programme

The Belvedere/21er Haus CIR programme (Curator-in-Residence) is intended for curators worldwide who would like to conduct research for three to five months in the Belvedere/21er Haus, particularly on a subject relevant to the museum’s collection.

The aim of the programme is to promote curators and researchers working on the collection and research  focus of the Belvedere/21er Haus – Austrian art from the Middle Ages to the present. Networking with colleagues at the Belvedere/21er Haus and in the Vienna art and culture scene is explicitly desired. The programme is to be regarded as an investment that will create important synergies for the future.

For 2012, project proposals on art and art history themes from the Middle Ages to the present day will be considered. We expect a specific reference to the collection areas in the Belvedere/21er Haus. The results of the research could be communicated in the form of a talk, Internet presentation, contribution to the collection, or booklet for the public.

This announcement is aimed at curators and researchers who have a relevant university background and curating experience and/or who are capable of devising and working independently on their own project. There is no age limit for the programme.

The Curator-in-Residence will be paid 1,000 euros per month for the duration of the residence, and a furnished apartment in the Lower Belvedere with a workstation will also be provided. The CIR will have access to the museum infrastructure, Research Centre and Belvedere/21er Haus collections and will be able to count on the assistance of the staff members responsible for the relevant collections.
