Art and science are different ways of expressing our human curiosity and our will to understand the cosmos. This often means dealing with the unknown. The Strong team at the Niels Bohr Institute invited proposals for artist residencies of up to 3 months, involving the science of the Strong group. We received hundreds of exciting proposals, shortlisted seven, and offered a residency to these three talented artists:

Elijah Stevens

Sjoerd Knibbeler

Dimitris Theocharis

International jury: The screening of proposals was done by Strong group members together with an international jury consisting of:

Monica Bello (CERN), Curator and Head of Arts at CERN

Shea Humbrey, American Artist

Réka Tóth-Vásárhelyi, Art teacher, creative artist, Kokeshi, Japanese wooden doll artist

We wish to thank all the many applicants for their time and efforts in submitting such interesting ideas and proposals.

Residencies will begin in 2024/2025, we look forward to sharing more information on our website. Stay tuned.
