THE APPLICATION CALL FOR MAGNETIC 3 RESIDENCIES IS OPEN UNTIL MONDAY 15 JULY
Magnetic is a joint Franco-UK initiative under the umbrella of Fluxus Art Projects. It brings together ten institutions to create a programme of artist residencies of eight weeks each: five in France and five in the UK. Artists from each one of the five regions in France are invited to apply for the residency based in the associated UK nation, and artists from each UK nation are invited to apply for the residency based in the associated region in France.
Artists based in Wales are invited to apply for the residency at Frac Bretagne, France, and artists based in Britanny, France are invited to apply for the residency at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. The selected artists receive a threshold monthly fee of £2100, and will benefit from curatorial mentoring, networking opportunities throughout their stay, accommodation and access to a workspace during the 8-week residencies.
The Frac Bretagne is a leading art institution in the western region of France. Through an ambitious program of exhibitions, dissemination and documentation of the collection as well as numerous programs for the public, the Frac Bretagne's artistic and cultural project, entitled “Making archipelagos”, aims to question the ways in which the institution can address the legitimate aspirations of our contemporary society. The residency will take place in the Dourven Gallery, an art centre dedicated to the creation and exhibition of contemporary art, which is located in an exceptional 16-hectare natural area and sits on a rocky promontory on the coast.
The open call for applications is open from the 21st of May to the 15th of July and you can find more information on our website - https://fluxusartprojects.com/magnetic-residencies.
