OPEN CALL: 2023 Art Explora x Cité Internationale des arts Artist Residency Programme

Art Explora, the international foundation that inspires new encounters between arts and audiences—locally, nationally and internationally, is pleased to announce that the 2023 residency open call for applications is now open.

Art Explora and the Cité internationale des arts residency programme in Paris
To support international artists, Art Explora created in 2021 a biannual residency programme in collaboration with the Cité internationale des arts in Paris. The first residency session began in 2021 and has welcomed since over 40 residents of all ages, disciplines and nationalities, at the Cité des arts de Montmartre in the heart of Paris.

Until November 4, 2022, artists and researchers from all around the world may apply to this unique residency programme, with a project that questions relations between art, science, technology, social and ecological contemporary challenges.

The third edition of the residency programme will be divided in two sessions of six months, respectively starting in March and September 2023.

Two programmes are proposed:

–a SOLO programme for artists only;
–a DUO programme for a collaboration between an artist and a researcher or scientist based in France, and for artist collectives.

All residents will benefit from a fully-furnished studio for 3 or 6 months, a grant for living expenses and a production grant.

The selection committee is composed of leading figures from the worlds of art and academic research:
–Magalí Arriola (Mexico): Art critic and Director of the Museo Tamayo of Contemporary Art
–Diana Campbell Betancourt (USA & Bangladesh): Artistic Director of the Samdani Art Foundation and Chief Curator of the Dhaka Art Summit
–Emanuele Coccia (Italy): Philosopher and Associate Professor at EHESS
–Isabelle Gaudefroy (France): Deputy Artistic Director of the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain
–Simon Njami (Cameroon & Switzerland): Writer, curator, essayist and art critic
–Hans Ulrich Obrist (UK & Switzerland): Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries

Applications are open until November 4, 2022 at 11:59pm (Paris time).
