1 June 2013 – 1 September 2013

Open to any non-UK based artist

This new residency at Gasworks aims to support the development of art practices that might not normally thrive within existing residency models.

Applicants are invited to propose a series of exploratory works with public outcomes. We are looking for experimental practices, innovative and experimental approaches to contemporary performance, and proposals that question contemporary understandings of these terms.

With this new model, the residency can be less studio-based with process instead taking precedent, in the form of a series of ‘events’ or public outcomes, illustrating stages of work-in-progress. The resulting works could take the form of interventions, community or socially engaged projects, performances, workshops, ephemeral works, happenings, lectures, presentations, theatrical productions or other event-based activities.

Application

The residency is open to non-UK based contemporary visual artists, including those with curatorial practices, working in any medium.

Applying artists should have a good level of spoken English, and should feel comfortable engaging in artistic discussions in English.
