Bielsko-Biała is now hosting the third international art residency "Beyond Time/Poza czasem". For this occasion visual artists from all over the world have been asked to send their own site-specific projects focusing on the unique character and history of Bielsko-Biała, as well as on their personal impressions of the places they feel attached to. This year has seen a record number of applications with artists from forty-one countries sending 103 projects. Out of this enormous pool of candidates only five artists have qualified for this year's residency programme. They are: Awer from Italy, Mari Ota from Japan, Paulina Mellado from Chile, Alessandro di Massimo from Italy and Sina Boroumandi from Iran.
They now have two months to do research and develop their individual projects reflecting the theme of the residency. In addition to exhibiting their works in Galeria Bielska BWA, the artists-in-residence will be given an opportunity to develop their own site specific projects in the city's public spaces, and also to suggest activities and workshops aimed at engaging the local community.
