It tries to expose the new generation of artists and to support those in the early stages of their professional career. It aims to empower emerging them on their way to professional career. As such it is the instigator of artistic projects which interrogate and illuminate contemporary issues in art, science, technology, and society.

Designed to facilitate the realisation of new artworks, the TESLA Award is actually a curious mix of an award, a grant and a residency. The recipient is given not only a financial reward but also offered production and technical support, a residency space and an organised exhibition. First awarded in 2017, TESLA straddles the fields of the new media and interdisciplinary arts.

The award is initiated by MoTA Museum of Transitory Art as a part of the Artecitya platfrom, a Creative Europe enterprise. In 2017 a research residency at the MoTA LAB in Ljubljana is complemented by a 6-8 weeks residency at the V2_Lab for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam.


Concept

An acronym for Transdisciplinary Explorative Slovenian Art Award, the name TESLA is also alluding to Nikola Tesla, a maverick innovator and thinker born in 1856 in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The whole enterprise is firmly rooted in an understanding of the needs of the artistic field that is somewhat lacking a more thorough institutional support. One of the aims of the award is thus to improve the conditions of artistic production, with another important dimension being that of forefronting younger, yet unrecognised artists in the early stages of their career.

The applicants – who must be under 35 years old &ndasH; should apply with new, previously unrealised project ideas. In 2017 the applicants must be Slovenians, but will in the years to follow also include people from the wider Balkan region.

Awarded projects and artworks

One can enter with pieces such as Interactive Sculptures, Generative and AV Installations, Sound Art, AV projects, Kinetic Artworks, Light Art, Tactical Media and other forms of art combining traditional and digital media. Winner is to be selected by an international jury featuring from different media art organisations and an independent curator.

The realised artwork will be part of the Impermanent MoTA Collection. Mota offers production and technical support in the process of creating the artwork. By applying, the artist grants permission to MoTA to exhibit the work locally and internationally. Also, the new artwork will be presented at the City Museum of Ljubljana, a project partner at the award.
