[Nettime-ro] Palais-Royal OpenAir RESIDENCY |
http://propenair.com/residence_en.html http://propenair.com/candidature_en.html ---- Palais-Royal OpenAir 2010 â Rules The Palais-Royal OpenAir project was triggered by a desire to encourage young European artists by offering them a creative residency in a motivating and prestigious site in the heart of Paris. Designed to promote and enhance the value of contemporary artistic work, Palais-Royal OpenAir welcomes young creators-in-residence and places exhibition space at their disposal to make their artistic approach more visible to a broad public. The first edition, organized by a partnership with foreign cultural institutions, will open in 2010 in the premises of the Peterâs Friends gallery. The call for candidatures will be made throughout the year in order to allow young talents from different cultures and horizons to produce and diffuse their projects. Conditions of Participation Both emerging and confirmed professional artists from the European countries selected for the 2010 edition are invited to propose their projects. Candidates must be under 40 years of age and must work in the field of the plastic arts (painting, drawing, engraving, sculpture, photography, etc.). Students may apply on condition that they are in their final year of arts school. Nature of the Project Palais-Royal OpenAir is a competition which offers the winner the opportunity of a residency and a personal exhibition at the Peterâs Friends gallery. The exhibition is intended to be the starting point of the residency. The artists are required to present a project that they have conceived specifically for the occasion or, if applicable, their recent works, on condition that these constitute a pertinent and coherent project as a whole. During the residency, the artists are also encouraged to develop a creative project relating to their artistic research. The theme is free. In both cases, the works must take the constraints imposed by the gallery's layout into consideration. The works exhibited will be offered for sale (the Peter's Friends gallery will take a commission). Works conceived during the residency may be presented in association with partners from the artistâs country of origin. Geographic Zone European geographical criteria will be applied to each edition of PalaisâRoyal OpenAir. One artist per country will be present for a specific residency term in order to allow diversity of expression. Selection The artists will be selected following examination of their folders by the PalaisâRoyal OpenAir selection committee. Each country will have a selection committee comprising representatives of cultural institutions and of the gallery, as well as cultural professionals. In certain cases, the artists may be designated directly. Applications will be examined monthly and the results communicated at least one month prior to the start of each residency. The winners will be informed of the results by publication on the PalaisâRoyal OpenAir website as well as by e-mail. Selection Criteria The selection of the artists is based on the quality and originality of their artistic approach and the suitability of their projects for the galleryâs environment. Length of Residency Seven residencies are planned for 2010. Each of these will host one artist for a period of 4 to 5 weeks. PalaisâRoyal OpenAir reserves the right to change the number and the duration of residencies without any obligation to justify its decision. Accommodation Provisions PalaisâRoyal OpenAir will provide the artist with accommodation (a first-floor furnished studio of 25Âm2) as well as exhibition space in the Peter's Friends gallery. Costs arising out of the transportation of the artist and the artistâs works shall be covered by grants proposed by organizations in the artistâs country. Otherwise, these costs will be borne by the artist (including those related to living expenses and to the moving or production of works). Costs in relation to the occupation of the studio will be borne by the Peter's Friends gallery. Exhibition & Promotion PalaisâRoyal OpenAir will provide for the promotion of the artists and bear the costs for the exhibition directly: advertising (posters, invitations, press releases, etc.) and the vernissage. The vernissage take place the first Thursday of each residency. Each exhibition will end at least two days before the end of each residency. Obligations A detailed contract setting out the mutual obligations will be signed by the artist, by PalaisâRoyal OpenAir and by the Peter's Friends gallery before the beginning of the residency. Future collaboration at the end of the residency is also envisaged. Amendments Palais-Royal OpenAir is a pilot edition. As a consequence, amendments may be made to these rules with a view to improving the project.
