Medialab Matadero (Madrid, Spain) presents the fifth edition of its annual Situated Research Residency programme, from January to July 2027. Through this open call, Medialab will select three research and creation projects capable of exploring the relationships between contemporary art, design, science, technology, and society, with a critical, experimental approach open to collaboration. ubmitted projects must connect explicitly and coherently with one or more of the themes from Medialab Matadero’s recent programmes: LAB 1 Medios Sintientes, LAB 2 The Metabolic Sublime, LAB 3 Synthetic Minds, LAB 4 Weird Futures, and LAB 5 The Mechanics of Truth. While artists don’t have to be in Madrid for the entire period, it is very important that they schedule regular and extended research stays at Matadero.

This invitation to participate is aimed at individuals, groups of individuals, and non-profit legal entities conducting research and creation projects. Applicants must hold Spanish nationality or that of a member State of the European Union.

Each selected project will receive a financial allowance of 10,000 EUR and one return trip.
