The Fellowship Program for Art and Theory has taken place in Büchsenhausen since spring 2003. The program combines the advantages of a residency with the possibilities of a postgraduate, non-academic research and production fellowship on the basis of an open, non-formalized structure. Content-wise, the program addresses a worldwide public made up of professionals in the fields of contemporary art, architecture, art and media theory, as well as criticism. The Fellows’ works, production methods and themes are made accessible to interested visitors in public events and presentations. At the end of the fellowship there is a thematic group exhibition in which it is offered to the Fellows to present the results of their (artistic) research to a broader public.
