Stipendiatenabend

This year's scholarship holders of the Edith Russ House for Media Art present themselves and their current projects.

Made possible by the Foundation of Lower Saxony, the Edith Russ House for Media Art has awarded three six-month working scholarships worth over 10,000 euros (DM 20,000) for 2002. The international call for applications was followed by a gratifyingly high number of applications (460) from five continents. The decision on the award was made by a five-member jury headed by Rosanne Altstatt, director of the Edith Russ House for Media Art.

The grants for June - December 2002 go to: Johan Grimonprez (Brussels), Dagmar Keller/Martin Wittwer (Cologne) and Florian Zeyfang (Berlin). On Wednesday, June 12, the fellows will introduce themselves and their project to the interested public in a talk. In September/October of this year, further activities are planned for the Oldenburg Medienkunsthaus. The fellows are free to present their multi-media works in the form of an exhibition, a workshop or a specially created 'special event'.
