Platform Dalí invites artists of any nationality and discipline to apply for its inaugural open call for residencies in 2027, centered on the theme 'What is real?'. Five artists will be selected to undertake a residency at one of Platform Dalí’s partner scientific institutions in Barcelona, fostering exchanges between artistic and scientific practices. The program supports an initial phase of open-ended inquiry within a scientific research environment, followed by the development and production of a new artwork. The resulting artwork will be presented in an exhibition organized by Platform Dalí no later than 2029.
