Laser Art residence
Candidaturas até 31 Março 2014
Lappeenranta, Finland
The laser art residence is a common working platform of Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and the Saimaa University of Applied Sciences, which seeks new solutions for industrial design and product development by applying laser technology to art.
This unique residence offers artists possibilities to use laser processing machinery in their art and challenge traditional ways of viewing laser technology. The residency is offered by the Saimaa University of Applied Sciences and the Lappeenranta University of Technology.
Artistic work is conducted in the laboratory of laser processing at the Lappeenranta University of Technology with laser technology experts. The artists may work for example with metal, wood, plastic, paper, fabrics, stone or glass. Materials are provided to a certain extent.
Working periods in the residence are 1-3 months between September 2014 and June 2015. Application period is from February until 31st March 2014. Artists apply via the electric form at www.laser-art-residence.fi
For the selected artists we offer reasonable travel costs, accommodation and a 500-euro grant per month.
The laser art residenceis a research project funded by TEKES (The Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation). It is part of the Feelings program that aims at Finland being a leading country in business driven by intangible values.
As there are companies involved in the project, we try to match each artist with a company to learn from each other and to share knowledge according to similar material or methodological interests. However, the artists do not work for companies in the project. If the artist and the company want to continue or expand their cooperation after the stay, it is possible. Collaborative partners in the project are Kalevala Koru, Oras, Puustelli Group, Suparinpei, Ylämaan Graniitti and AM Finland.
