During their stay in Spain, the residents will be accompagnied and supported by local curators and cultural managers and are invited to give a short public conference at Matadero Madrid in which they present themselves, their organization and their project to the local art community.

Back in their home-countries, the residents will develop a cultural project that includes artists and art-projects they have come to know during their stay in Spain. Each of the residencies will have a duration of three weeks. Each applicant can choose among the following months:

• August 2012

• September 2012

• October 2012

The residency covers the use of a flat in the neighbourhood of Legazpi, in the surroundings of Matadero Madrid and the travel cost (inbound and outbound) to the European country of residence. Each resident receives 500 Euros to cover other travels and daily expenses.

The contest is open to all European art professionals that do not live and work in Spain.

The open call seeks especially for participants who do not yet have a consolidated international career, as one of the primary goals of Curators’ Network is to gather art-professionals who are still not well known in a larger European context.

Deadline to submit applications: 25 May.

Each artist-in-residence organization needs some basic form of continuity, consistency, and stability. What if this basic garantee of existence is challenged?

- How do AiR organizers cope with unforeseen situations?
- How can artists prepare themselves to work in an unstable environment?
- How do AiR organizers cope with artists, who come from unstable situations?

After the nuclear disaster in Fukushima in Japan (March 2011) AiR organizers in the polluted areas wanted to share their experiences and asked Trans Artists to address the subject. This meeting takes a wider scope and addresses also other situations of instability and urgency.

The program of the meeting includes presentations, artist's talks and discussions about the challenges, which artist-in-residence centers in Japan are facing. Next to this we will seek for practical examples how to prepare for entering situations of instability and conflict, and how to deal with those situations. We will address the issue of receiving as AiR organizers artists in need, who come from unstable situations. And we will look for strategies and structures for sharing expertise and knowledge.

Presentationsby: Mami Odai director of Arcus, Japan, Nishiko, Japanese artist based in The Hague, Peer de Rijk, director Tegenstroom / Wise, Amsterdam, Jan Willem Petersen, architect and founder of Specialist Operations, Amsterdam, Roel Schoenmakers, Cascoland, Amsterdam.

The meeting takes place on Tuesday May 22, 10.45 – 16.00 h at the Trans Artists office.
