    -------------------------------------------------------
    *Air_cruise 2006* is an artists-in-residence project in the
    frame of the Culture 2000 project "Against / Within" by
    Forum Stadtpark, Graz / Austria in cooperation with Galerie
    für zeitgenössische Kunst, Leipzig / Germany, J.E. Purkyne
    University, Faculty of Art and Design, Ústí nad Labem /
    Czech Republic, and the Institute of Contemporary Art,
    Dunaújvaros / Hungary.

    *Project Description:*
    Six artists will be on the move from one city to the next for
    eight weeks, in each of which they will stay for two weeks
    and do some research and work. They are asked to investigate
    the urban structures of the cities from this point of view. Four
    very different cities have been chosen for the air_cruise 2006:
    Leipzig, Ústí nad Labem, Dunaújvaros, and Graz.
    How is political, economical, social, and cultural development
    shown in urban structures and how is it characterised by the
    citizens? How much does a city reveal of its specific character
    if you stay there only for a little while? Can the artist make visible
    developments, structures and characters and/or visions that lead
    to a change? To use this situation offers various possibilities that
    shall lead to a work of art that will be shown in the exhibition at
    Emil Filla Gallery in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic, and will
    be published in the general catalogue of the project.

    *Procedure:*
    The call for entries is directed to artists working with different
    media. The actual residencies of the air_cruise 2006 will take

    host the project.

    *Selection / Jury:*
    The artist selection will be made on the basis of the applications
    submitted by a jury consisting of representatives of each partner
    institution. The jury meeting will take place in mid-January.
