Open Call: 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘰 Fellowship #2

Gossamer Fog are inviting applications for their second in vitro Fellowship - built to equip an early career practitioner with a keen interest in curation and artist-run spaces, with the tools to build something themselves.

They are looking for an individual with a curiosity for artist-run spaces and curation, who is keen to engage in hands-on, collaborative work with the Gossamer Fog team.

Fellows will contribute to the delivery of their gallery exhibition programme, live mixed-reality events at Alt_R and a wide variety of other project, operational and technical tasks, supported by ongoing mentorship and training.   Alongside this, you’ll also have the opportunity to develop and curate your own group exhibition.

in vitro Fellowships are freelance paid positions, running for one day a week over a 6 month period. Fellows will receive a total fee of £3120 (£120 per day), with an additional £1500 production budget towards a supported curatorial project/group exhibition over 6 weeks (Friday, Saturdays & Sundays) at Gossamer Fog at the end of their 6 month placement.


DEADLINE: Monday 31 August, 23:59 BST

Introducing Tarlan Lotfizadeh the first 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘳𝘰 Fellow, who is currently working with the Gossamer Fog team over 6 months, contributing to the delivery of their gallery exhibition programme and live mixed-reality events at Alt_R, whilst developing and presenting her own curated group exhibition at Gossamer Fog opening in October 2026.

Tarlan Lotfizadeh is an Iranian interdisciplinary artist and Solid State Physics graduate based in London. Her practice began with optics and the darkroom and later expanded across film, installation, poetry, lecture-performances, developing physics formulas and instructional methodologies. She chooses the medium and discipline that best serve the concept she is exploring, unrestricted by any single form.

As an Arts Council England Global Talent awardee, she has shown her work internationally at prestigious venues including the Museum für Neue Kunst (Germany), the Centre International d’Art et du Paysage (France), Cité Internationale des Arts (France), Atelier Mondial (Switzerland), and Fotogalerie Wien (Austria), and the National Gallery (North Macedonia) for the Co-Existence Biennial.
