Residency for Paris-based Artists and Cultural Professionals
This residency is intended to give Paris-based professionals the opportunity to carry out personal artistic projects, develop their research work and to participate in a new international network. The purpose of this residency is to foster cross-cultural exchanges and collaborations between the local art ecosystem (artists, curators, writers, scholars, institutions, galleries, etc.) and international artists and cultural professionals.
Paris-based artists and cultural professionals are invited to submit their proposals for the Atelier 11 residency. The project must fit within the organization’s mission and residency framework with a reflection on the cultural and socio-political context of cosmopolitan Paris in the 20th century and today. The idea is to weave together the proposed cultural programs and related residency events in a way that will fuel productive dialogue, research and development of residents’ practices.
