Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship 2023/24

We are looking for the third Cavendish Arts Science at Girton College Fellow. This unique collaborative opportunity is open to artists internationally and is not confined to any single aesthetic, theme, or medium. The Fellowship is financially supported.

We are seeking adventurous artists whose practice resonates with our ethos of questioning, collective imagining and decentring. Artists with no previous experience of working with scientists or in a scientific environment are particularly encouraged to apply.

The Fellowship will last one year from October 2023 and will include a residency period at Girton College in Cambridge, typically of at least six months up to one year, with potential for the period of residency to be split across two visits.

The artist will receive a stipend (£10k), and accommodation and subsistence during the period of residency. A budget will be provided for the production of new work, and for travel.

The successful applicant will normally be elected Visiting Fellow Commoner in the Arts at Girton College and will

• Develop thought-provoking ideas through engagement with physicists and those in other fields
• Experiment with new approaches to their practice that are transformative and push boundaries
• Produce new work to be exhibited during the Fellowship and beyond
• Have opportunities to exhibit work in other contexts including the opening of the Cavendish Laboratory (Ray Dolby Centre) in 2024, and potentially those created through national and international partnerships.
