Platform Dalí cultivates direct, experimental, research-led exchange between artists and scientific communities. As with the art of Salvador Dalí, Platform Dalí pushes at the boundaries of artists’ perception of the world and fosters new creative dimensions for all its participants.
Platform Dalí’s Open Call for Residencies invites artists to develop a research and creation project in response to the theme What is real? through close engagement with one of five partner institutions: the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS), ICFO—The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC), Institute for High Energy Physics (IFAE) and Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB).
The residency consists of a 12-month programme and it’s fully funded. Residents undertake an on-site residency of up to 45 days at their host centre in Barcelona, dedicated to research engaging in close dialogue with researchers and technicians. During this period, residents are also introduced to local artists and practitioners and take part in activities organised by Platform Dalí and its partners. This is followed by a second phase to develop and produce a new artwork. Platform Dalí welcomes applications from artists who are engaging with scientific contexts for the first time and values openness and willingness to learn through dialogue and collaboration. Applications will be accepted until September 7, 2026. Detailed guidelines and submission requirements are available on the Platform Dalí website.
