Win 3000€, a 6-8 weeks residency, production & presentation of a new artwork and more!
TESLA Award is the first competition in Slovenia focusing on new and progressive art forms, what we call transdisciplinary or intermedia art, in order to provide optimal conditions for selected artists to research, produce and present an entirely new artwork under the mentorship and assistance of MoTA – Museum of Transitory Art from Ljubljana. The aim of the award is to improve the conditions of artistic production in the field of transdisciplinary / intermedia art and thus respond to the growing interest in research-based practices in Slovenia and broader Balkan region, and consequently to follow the increased production in the field. Therefore TESLA does not only provide an artist fee, but also offers research- and production-based residencies (at V2_Lab for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam) as well as production and technical support in the process of creating the artwork.
Please note: In its first year, TESLA is awarded in partnership with the Summer Sessions program of V2_Lab.
Following the format of Summer Sessions, this year the residency is awarded to a Slovenian artists younger than 35.
In the following years the award will be extended regionally.
