Call for applications In Situ Artist Residencies

We are launching the 2nd edition of “In Situ”, a multidisciplinary residency program that aims to be both a time and a space for meetings, research, individual and collective work in the heart of the Cité internationale des arts, but also a workshop for the production of knowledge and works. You have until May 26 inclusive to send your application!

Collectively exploring the ecological transition

For 6 months, In situ brings together within the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, 10 artists with an artistic practice that is in the field of visual arts, performance, design, music and sound research, writing, live performance, architecture-urbanism and exhibition curation. A collective and individual dynamic brings them together in the service of a line of work proposed by a guest researcher, around the relationships between the general context, the reality of the world and the possible modes of action.

María Inés Rodríguez, Director of Tropical Papers, will be the guest of this 2024-2025 edition: “Our meetings will be guided by the visionary thinking of the Franco-Hungarian architect Yona Friedman who invites us to see the world beyond statistical methods, to recognize the creative potential and to consider new approaches in our artistic creation process. Through a series of monthly workshops and lectures with guests and exhibition visits, we will, on the one hand, continue discussions on the geopolitical, historical and current tensions, at the root of the ecological and climate crisis and playing a role in the transition to a circular and climate-neutral society. On the other hand, we will delve deeper into the different working methods and processes underlying this reflection.”

6-month multidisciplinary residencies

As part of the program, the winners will benefit from October 3, 2024 to March 27, 2025:

• collective and individual professional support, which also includes visits to exhibitions and meetings with personalities from various fields;
• a studio-housing on the Marais site of the Cité internationale des arts;
• a monthly living grant of 1000 euros;
• a research and production grant of 2000 euros, paid on presentation of proof of payment;
• reimbursement of transport costs to and from the place of residence to the Cité internationale des arts.

In addition to evaluating the candidates’ professional background, the members of the jury will pay particular attention to the artistic quality of the project, to the argument presented around the added value of this perspective of residency in Paris, in connection with the theme and the dynamics proposed within the framework of the residency program.
