In April 2027, the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden—a joint project of the TUD Dresden University of Technology and THE SCHAUFLER FOUNDATION—will enter its third funding phase (2027–2030, subject to the approval of funding). Under the overarching theme “Energy Cultures in Transition,” the project will examine how forms of energy and energy transitions shape—and are in turn shaped by—cultural practices, social values, power relations, environmental relationships, and visions of the future.
Starting in April 2027, the Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden is once again offering a six-month artist-in-residence program. International artists or collectives working in media art, conceptual art, performance, and related fields are invited to apply with innovative projects.

THE SCHAUFLER FOUNDATION deeply mourns the sudden loss of Mrs. Silke Lohmiller, one of our members of the Board of Trustees. On May 10, 2026, Silke Lohmiller, together with her husband and son, tragically lost her life in an airplane crash in Namibia.
She had only been elected to the Foundation’s Board of Trustees in 2025. In the short time she served on the board, Silke Lohmiller enriched the Foundation’s work through her warm and open personality. Her memory will remain with us in profound respect and gratitude.

The internationally active artist duo Quadrature - Juliane Götz and Sebastian Neitsch – has been nominated for the Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden 2026. As part of their six-month residency at the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden from February to July 2026, the artists will develop the project “The Mass of Money” at TUD Dresden University of Technology. The project is conceived as a large-scale, immersive audiovisual installation that aims to interweave economic data with cosmological models.
