Event Horizon Selection Panel

Event Horizon selection panel is made up of director Julienne Dolphin Wilding, artists Nick Turvey, Manos Tsichlis, Rosie Mullan, Neal Tait, and external advisors art collector Lindsay Etchells Dicker and Hospitalfield Scotland Residency Director Lucy Byatt.
 

Applicants are assessed through reference to six criteria

Be prepared to retreat! Event Horizon is a private wilderness and residents do not usually overlap for significant amounts of time, if indeed at all. Residents usually work alone or with their partners and/or assistants.
 

Note 1: Applicants who are enrolled in undergraduate or graduate degree programs are ineligible for a residency and therefore cannot apply. Doctoral candidates who have finished all coursework may apply.

Note 2: Event Horizon residency is for particularly for self-sufficient, serious-minded individuals who are deeply committed to their practice, people who can respect the privilege of time and space. Applicants are not invited to come to Event Horizon for a holiday!

Note 3: We are all witness to the devastation of the environment by rich and poor human activity. Applicants with the fragile planet ideology are especially welcome at Event Horizon.

Note 4: We prefer residency applicants who do not endorse the many wars currently committed by proxy or directly by Western Governments. We are a pacifist, far-left residency platform.
