RESIDENCIES

Our residence is located in La Filature, upstairs with the studios of local artists and the AXENÉO7 artist-run centre. The apartment has two floors: the studio space (approximately 200 sq. ft.) is on the main floor and the living space with bathroom and kitchenette on the second floor. The residence's studio is well suited to visual arts projects; AXENÉO7 also has basic media and video equipment and is equipped with a wood studio.

The artist in residence receives:

  • Partial or total reimbursement of travel expenses
  • A production and research honorarium of $375/week
  • Up to $300 (refundable) for materials
  • Accommodation in the AXENÉO7 residence
  • A $25 per diem
  • Artist's honoraria are also paid for any public presentation by the artist or any exhibition project.

Residency

AXENÉO7's residency program for artists or curators consists in a maximum stay of 6 weeks between January and July 2011 (depending on the artist's availability and the project proposed). The residency includes a public presentation or an exhibition of the final work(s).

IN SITU (4 to 6 weeks)

The in situ residency is both a residency and an exhibition, as one of the exhibition spaces serves at the artist's studio. The artist's gradual creation of an installation will be accessible to the public during the entire residency. Once the residency is completed, exhibition of the final work will continue for a period of time. The residency includes a presentation to introduce the artist and his or her work to the general public. The artist also reserves a certain number of hours for studio visits with local artists.

Submissions must include:

  • A résumé
  • An artist's statement
  • A description of the project
  • A descriptive list of visual documents submitted (titles, dates, dimensions and medium)
  • 15 digital images on CD-Rom or 35mm slides*
  • VHS or DVD documentation (NTSC format) (max. 10 minutes)
