> The ICI Berlin announces 5 fellowships for 2007-08 as part of its inaugural
> core project Tension/Spannung. It welcomes applications from scholars,
> curators, and artists from all disciplines.
>
> The Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry (ICI) is a recently founded
> independent centre dedicated to bringing diverse cultures into productive
> confrontation. It interprets ÿÿcultureÿÿ in a deliberately broad sense to
> include cultures associated with different disciplines, systems, and spaces.
> The ICI provides an open international platform for engaged dialogue,
> research, and practice across and beyond different disciplines and cultures.
> It formulates core projects that form the starting point for resident
> fellows to work through common, focused questions. Within the same thematic
> frame, the institute also organizes workshops, conferences, and cultural
> events in co-operation with kindred institutions. To host all these
> activities, the ICI has generous and attractive spaces in the cultural
> centre of Berlin at its disposal.
>
> In autumn 2007, the ICI will launch its first core project Tension/Spannung.
> The expression ÿÿtensionÿÿ appears in manifold contexts with diverse meanings.
> We speak of social, religious, electrical, sexual, and creative tension. In
> all these cases, tension refers to a static but unstable state. Such a state
> is on the verge of a dynamic process that may be destructive as well as
> productive. Tension provides the condition for transformations, but
> determines neither their beginning nor outcome. As a state of undecided
> potentiality, tension promises us agency and demands our involvement, while
> also captivating us aesthetically. By exploring the critical role of tension
> within and between different cultures and discourses, the ICIÿÿs inaugural
> project also seeks to reflect upon the instituteÿÿs mission.
>
> The institute invites scholars, curators, and artists from all disciplines
> to link their individual projects to the topic of Tension/Spannung and to
> engage in a joint exploration with other fellows at the institute.
>
> Fellowships are for ten months beginning October 1, 2007 and are renewable
> for one year. Stipends range from 1100 to 1650 ÿÿ per month.
>
> For application guidelines and further information, please see
