Our Call for an Artist in Residence raised a lot of interest within the art-science community worldwide. Our jury panel had the difficult task of selecting from 80 applications from 29 countries.
A jury panel, composed of members of the BIOPROCESS LABORATORY, BIOFACTION as well as an independent art curator, has carefully reviewed all applications and interviewed a final shortlist. The exponential quality of the shortlisted applicants has led us to establish not one but two residency spaces.
We are thrilled to reveal the two selected artists, who we believe would most benefit from the residency based on their background and proposals entered:
Sarah Craske

&
Eduardo Miranda
