Chinese Arts Centre and 501 Artspace are collaborating to open up the Breathe Artist in Residency Programme, Chongqing. The programme is open to all artists and will facilitate one to three month at 501 Artspace, Chongqing for successful applicants.
The Breathe residency gives artists the time to contemplate and reflect on their practice. There is no pressure to create a finished work however artists are expected to work productively and engage with their environment. At the end of the residency will host an Open Studio which is the chance to engage with the public and discuss their practice. The format of the Open Studio is completely flexible and could take the form of a hung exhibition, artists talk, performance or presentation of work in progress.
501 Artspace will provide a studio and apartment and there will be support and networking opportunities throughout the residency. Artists will be required to fund some of the costs of the residency themselves.
To apply please submit:
- CV
- Outline of the how the residency will develop your practice and what you would do with the residency (maximum 2 sides A4)
