Working grants

Time With Sophie Gips

 

In 2026, we are awarding the TIME WITH SOPHIE GIPS grant for the first time. The grant offers artists the opportunity to develop new works in dialogue with the theme or individual works of the respective collection presentation. Conceived as an invitation to open artistic production, the fellowship embraces a contemporary perspective on the collection. The works created during the fellowship will be presented as part of the 30th collection presentation from February 2027 on.

Stipends 2026/2027

Elisa Jule Braun

Depressed robots, foolish AIs, mum-avatars - these are the protagonists of Elisa Jule Braun’s videos and installations. Their settings: urban and rural living environments, more or less structured by digital technologies. And as it is in networks, something is always being transmitted: data, rituals, language, mood, movements or power, always including their interferences. Using means of visual anthropology, Braun dissects conflicts that lie in the tension between globalized capital and local reality.

Miriam Umiń

Miriam Umiń is an artist based between Berlin (DE) and New Brunswick (CA) whose practice examines the logistical and systemic conditions shaping how objects are produced, branded, and circulated. She approaches objects as part of broader networks influenced by labor, bureaucracy, and economic exchange, with a focus on how materials acquire aesthetic, political, and economic meaning. Through reinterpreting modes of circulation, her work considers the often invisible conditions that underpin cultural and artistic production.
