The Performance Corporation’s SPACE Programme is Ireland’s longest-running International Multi-Disciplinary Artists Residency. It brings together adventurous artists from diverse disciplines for 10 days of intensive collaborative and creative experimentation, from 18 to 28 July 2025 in Paris, France.
SPACE is an opportunity for artists to develop their practice in new ways, dive into exciting collaborations across disciplines and discover new creative horizons without the pressure of creating a finished work. Participants will stay and work in the heart of Paris at the Centre Culturel Irlandais.
The focus for 2025 invites applications from artists and creatives interested in working in ‘Analogue and Digital Experience Design’. It combines the creative freedom of traditional artistic residencies with the energised innovation of a tech hackathon.
The residency is open to artists and creatives who have experience of working across digital, and immersive technologies and who want to extend its application in their work through collaboration with other artforms in the creation of a range of artistic audience experiences. Applicants should also have a commitment to exploring how these technologies can expand and intersect with traditional artistic practices. This residency prioritises collaborative work rather than individual, pre-existing projects.
The programme provides access to expertise, technology, resources and spaces in which to work collaboratively, as well as travel, accommodation and meals.
