With "With Dylan On The Road", the Mozarteum University, together with The International Society of Mozarteum University Salzburg, offers students of all disciplines the unique opportunity to go on a journey with a scholarship in their luggage to develop art projects inspired by Bob Dylan.
An initiative of the
Research Management Department
Responsible for content and concept: Eugen Banauch
"With Dylan On The Road" invites students to rethink "university" and to engage in a discourse of artistic research, learning and doing with the polyartist Bob Dylan - outside their comfort zones. For the application, there were specifications regarding a limited duration of the trip, the form of the project submission and an invitation to submit an interdisciplinary idea. The rest: open.
Following the successful first edition of "With Dylan On The Road" in 2022, the project inspired by the polyartist Bob Dylan will enter the next round in 2024.
I was born very far away from where I'm supposed to be, and so I'm on my way home
Bob Dylan (1941) is a musician, poet, filmmaker, producer and visual artist working in a variety of genres. His work has left its mark on all areas of global culture and has influenced and moulded artists in many different ways.
Bob Dylan has received widespread attention for his work, which has absorbed, transcended and transformed existing forms, genres and conventions, and not just since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2016. We understand his work and biography as a "message in a bottle". This floats in the oceans of rock, folk, blues and pop and always in "old, weird America" (Greil Marcus) and invites us to engage in an inspiring dialogue within the framework of self-determined artistic creation.
Having been "on the road" himself throughout his life, the study of this exceptional artist suggests extraordinary approaches. In the spirit of his "Never Ending Tour", which began in 1988, we therefore invite you to literally take to the road yourself and artistically explore aspects of his work and his life's journey. Students go on the journey themselves, because the artistic process is just as important as the work and the individual needs to enter into new worlds of experience.
What's life without the occasional detour?
Call for travel grants for artistic co-creations by students of the Mozarteum University Salzburg.
Open to teams of two students from all disciplines. In the spirit of interdisciplinary work, submissions in which two different disciplines are represented have an advantage if they are of equal quality. Project ideas with an artistic-scientific orientation or artistic-scientific component are also particularly encouraged to be submitted.
With Dylan On The Road is being advertised for the second time after 2022; the travel grants are provided by The International Society of Mozarteum University Salzburg.
Bringing it all back home
Students from all disciplines are invited to apply in interdisciplinary teams of two with an idea for a Dylan-inspired artistic work at the interface of music, visual arts, performance, text, etc.
Selection criteria are:
Submissions for travel grants should include the following information:
Applications until 18 February 2024 to withdylanontheroad@moz.ac.at
Contact for questions regarding the application process: withdylanontheroad@moz.ac.at
It is up to the students themselves to decide where the journey takes them and to explain their reasons in a comprehensible manner. The focus is on the intensive examination of the interdisciplinary, artistic, research-based question set by the travelling team. The teams of two develop a question that leads to a joint artistic work.
For With Dylan On The Road 1, the resulting works were presented as part of a symposium and at the "Jazz&TheCity" festival. A similarly visible presentation is planned for With Dylan On The Road 2.
Duration of the travel grants: 1-3 months
Start of the trip: From March 2024, September 2024 at the latest
Crediting: The results can be credited as free electives.
