To cultivate cultural and creative talent by expanding global perspectives and revitalizing artistic practices, the inaugural 2025 edition of "Reimagining Beyond Context Residency Program," presented by Drive-Through Residency Exchange, is now open for applications.

​

This year’s program introduces an unprecedented collaboration between the United States and Taiwan, selecting 16 distinguished artists and cultural creators to participate in the residency program of “Reimagining Beyond Context.” By leveraging a cross-border space exchange model, this program enables participants to explore and reinterpret foreign cultures from within their own workspaces and living environments, transcending traditional barriers such as language and financial constraints while achieving meaningful international engagement.

​

DTA (Drive-Through Art) eliminates the need for studio rental fees during the residency, emphasizing cultural exchange through the integration of foreign influences into each participant's unique creative practice. This model not only alleviates financial burdens but also encourages artists to maximize the potential of their existing resources, unlocking new creative possibilities and fostering diverse artistic expressions.

​

Selected artists will be invited to participate in a group, showcasing the work created during their time in the DTA residency program. Curators will collaborate closely with the artists to present their work through an exhibition. This hybrid format will underscore the program’s success while further promoting international artistic collaboration and cultural exchange.

  
**Program Timeline**

Introduction and Exchange:

Artists will receive both tangible and intangible data from their paired international counterparts. Within 15 days, they are tasked with reinterpreting this information in their living or studio space. Using their interpretation, imagination, and understanding, both artists will create a unique atmosphere based on the provided data with their creativity and subjective perspectives.

  
Exchange Day:

During the first week of the process, an online exchange session will be held for all participating artists. This will take place anonymously to encourage minimal yet meaningful cultural and artistic interaction.

  
Outcome Presentation:

After the 15-day recreation period, artists will document their completed space and content. They will also respond to the residency experience using various creative formats. These responses, along with related documentation, will be shared on the official DTA website and our social media.

  
Exhibition:

The final works will be showcased both physically and virtually in the United States and Taiwan. This initiative demonstrates the possibility of achieving meaningful international artistic exchange without the need for travel, expenses, or language proficiency.

Solo Show & Residency Fellowship

Call for entries for the 6th Henriettenglück Art Prize 2025

  
On the occasion of the opening exhibition of the Atelierhaus Recklinghausen in the former Königschule in the König Ludwig district, the art prize 'Henriettenglück' was launched in 2014, which is committed to the history of the Ruhr region.

  
The title of the art prize refers to the original name of the local mine. It was originally called "Henriette's Happiness," in honor of Princess Louise Henriette of Orange, the future wife of the Great Elector of Brandenburg. In gratitude to the King of Bavaria, who had given his consent to the Prussian Emperor William during the founding of the German Empire, the mine was subsequently renamed "King Ludwig." The word "luck" in connection with a mine presumably also conjured up the miners' "Glück Auf" (Good Luck).

  
Since 2022, the "Henriettenglück" art prize has been supported by the Cultural Foundation of Sparkasse Vest Recklinghausen.

  
**Topic in 2025:** In mining, a "cable ride" refers to the transport of people down a shaft in a cage suspended from a cable. "Cable rides" are not only used vertically downwards or upwards, but also as a crossing aid, for example, over a river to another landscape or up from the valley station to the mountain peak, making people's mountain dreams come true all year round. A cable ride down a mine shaft leads into the darkness – at the site of coal mining – but also back into the light again.

  
Rope travel thus leads to a place of fulfillment, a place of hope, or even a place of longing. The participating artists are expected to explore the various aspects of "rope travel" and can interpret the theme of rope travel through painting, photography, media art, sculpture, object art, or installation.

The art prize is endowed with €1,000\. In addition to the prize money, the winner receives a solo exhibition and a catalog for the following year's exhibition. A maximum of three artistic works can be submitted for the "Seilfahrt" project. 

Henriettenglück Art Prize

Science Gallery Monterrey invites artists, researchers, community activists and critical thinkers to submit existing, interdisciplinary artistic and research projects for our next exhibition centered around the theme of **CONSCIOUSNESS.** The exhibition will open in October 2025.

  
Science Gallery Monterrey is a space where artistic and scientific modes of thinking collide to push the boundaries of knowledge, catalyzing novel ideas that offer innovative perspectives and solutions to current challenges. 

  
One of the most intriguing paradoxes confronting researchers today is the nature of consciousness. While scientific knowledge is generated by the activity of the conscious mind, science is still unable to understand what consciousness is, how it works, where it exactly resides or how it comes into being. 

  
The answers to these fundamental questions about consciousness have become increasingly urgent in the last few years. This derives not only from the fact that emergent AI technologies aim to produce self-conscious digital learning systems, but also from recent discoveries that vertebrates and invertebrates, across a range of sizes and complexities, have varying forms and degrees of awareness.

  
**Potential subthemes**

* The mind-body duality vs. the AI-machine duality.
* Can science objectively describe the subjective?
* Could a droid enjoy the taste of an apple?
* Do plants experience forms of consciousness?
* The distinction between robot and human consciousness.
* What is it like to be a fruit fly?
* The use of scientific tools to study the nature of dreams.
* Are quantum events the building blocks of consciousness?
* Frankenstein’s creature or Hal: replicas of consciousness made of artificial neuronal organoids.

Projects selected through our open call will be funded up to MXN 150,000 (One hundred fifty thousand Mexican pesos). This budget includes all licensing and artist fees, as well as flights and hotel accommodation for the artist should they choose to attend, plus freight, insurance, and other related costs. **Please note that this is a maximum amount, not a target amount**. No funds will be allocated for production expenses, including materials, tools, or professional services. 

  
Please include in your proposal a rough breakdown of the projected costs for licensing your project to Science Gallery Monterrey for **eight** months. Science Gallery Monterrey will not permanently acquire any of the proposals selected through the open call.

  
**What is the exhibition space like?**

The exhibition will take place at Science Gallery Monterrey, located on the ground floor of the Expedition building. It is part of the Innovation District of Tecnológico de Monterrey, in Monterrey, Mexico. 

  
We operate in a 9x20-meter exhibition space with a 3.5-meter ceiling and exhibition area with doors that open onto a public space. Proposals should consider sharing the total space with six to eight other works. For this reason, **we will favor pieces with a footprint not larger than 20 square meters.**
