Liguria Study Center for the Arts and Humanities - Italy . . . [FND] (02.04.16)


Information as of October 31, 2001
********************************************************************** 

SCOPE: The Bogliasco Foundation is inviting applications for the 
Liguria Study Center for the Arts and Humanities. 

DEADLINE: Deadlines are January 15, 2002, for residencies during the 
fall-winter semester beginning in September 2002; and April 15, 2002, 
for the winter-spring semester beginning in February 2003.

FUNDS: Bogliasco Fellows and accompanying spouses orcompanions are 
provided with living quarters (bedroom with private bath) and full 
board. Fellows are assigned separate private studios. Spouses and 
companions working on their own projects have access to study areas 
located within the living quarters. The cost of transportation to and 
from Genoa is the responsibility of Fellows or their accompanying 
spouses/companions. So also are all other personal expenses incurred 
during the fellowship period, including the purchase of materials and 
supplies.

ELIGIBILITY: Applicants should demonstrate significant achievement in 
their disciplines, commensurate with their age and experience. In 
addition, they must submit descriptions of the projects that they 
intend to pursue in Bogliasco. An approved project is presumed to lead 
to the completion of a major work followed by publication, 
performance, production, or exhibition.

AREAS: The Center is located on the Italian Riviera in the small town 
of Bogliasco. Fellowships are granted to qualified persons doing 
advanced creative work or scholarly research in the following 
disciplines: archaeology, architecture, classics, dance, film or 
video, history, landscape architecture, literature, music, philosophy, 
theater, and visual arts. With respect to dance, music, and theater, 
the Study Center does not have studio facilities for artists wishing 
to work extensively in performance.

Most artists and scholars use their time at the Center to pursue 
projects for which the basic preparation or research has already been 
done, bringing with them the materials needed to complete their work. 
When necessary, however, Bogliasco Fellows have access--in some cases 
special access--to the major libraries, museums, and other cultural 
resources in Genoa.

Fellowships usually have a duration either of one month (31 days) or a 
half semester (47 days). In special circumstances residencies of other 
lengths may be approved. Bogliasco Fellows may be accompanied by 
spouses (or spouse-equivalent companions) during their stay at the 
Center.

APPLICATION INFORMATION: Dossiers are reviewed twice a year by The 
Bogliasco Foundation Selection Committee. Applicants are required to 
submit the following documentation: 1) a completed application form 
(with personal data, project title, and preferences for residency 
dates); 2) a short-form curriculum vitae, no more than three 
single-sided pages in length; 3) a description of the project, no more 
than one page in length, that the applicant intends to pursue during 
her/his stay at the Study Center; and 4) three reference letters that 
provide an assessment of the applicant's professional achievements, as 
well as an evaluation of the proposed project.
