As part of the L'AiR Arts organized http://www.lairarts.com/program.html">program, Art Research Residency is specially designed to enable participants to evaluate their individual places as artists and situate their artistic exploration and practice within both the historical and contemporary context of art production and dissemination in Paris.
During this residency program, artists explore different artistic neighbourhoods of Paris: Montparnasse, Montmartre, Belleville, and Marais where we visit historic artist studios, many of which are normally closed to the public, as well as the art academies, galleries and meeting places where the ideas that shaped modern art as we know it were formed. The residency may also include a day trip to artistic places outside Paris, such as Barbizon or Auvers-sur-Oise, the renowned French villages that served as an inspiration to many artists.
To foster meaningful encounters and connections, this residency also provides participants with the opportunity to meet local artists, art historians, and gallerists working in Paris today. We organize facilitated group discussion sessions with Paris-based curators, who offer portfolio readings and mentorship to the artists.
To encourage the exchange of ideas and skills, we offer shared work space and invite artists to propose talks / workshops related to their practice and participate in an Open Studio event.
These components of the residency not only highlight the role that international artistic dialogue in Paris played in the development of modern art, but also encourage artists to reflect on ways in which the artistic exchange provided by this residency could influence their own artistic practice.
