VAN ALEN INSTITUTE: CALL FOR FELLOWS

VAN ALEN INSTITUTE NEW YORK PRIZE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
for research and experimental practice in public architecture

Emerging practitioners and scholars from the design and planning disciplines, and other fields in the arts, humanities and sciences are invited to apply. Fellows pursue advanced independent study and generate public projects on the most significant issues shaping the design and use of public space today. Projects can range across media, temporalities, dimensions and scales in the form of exhibitions, installations, performances, symposia and other formats. The Institute supports projects that provoke new ways of thinking about and making public space, that critically interrogate how and for whom spaces operate as “public”, and that engage public audiences in imaginative and productive ways.

Up to five fellowships for periods of three months each will be granted in 2007-2008. Fellowships include a stipend, project support, individual office/studio space at the Institute, and the opportunity to present and publish work. The application deadline is May 9, 2007.
