REART ⇆ is a networked project for the promotion of artistic research involved in specific contexts, through three residences, a collective meeting-laboratory, and a digital archive of projects. It is promoted collaboratively by Idensitat, Casa Planas (Palma), La Escocesa (Barcelona) and Le BBB Centre d’Art (Toulouse) and is supported by the Pyrenees-Mediterranean Euroregion.
In this first phase of the project, REART ⇆ mounts a joint open call for three month-long artistic research residencies, in three specific locations but with a common thematic framework around the concept of ‘transperiphery’.
Of the three residences, two are on-site: one in Barcelona, with the support of La Escocesa, and another in Palma de Mallorca, with the support of Casa Planas. The third takes place virtually, with the accompaniment of Idensitat. The projects carried out in these residencies must be completed before 15 December 2022 and will be published on the REART ⇆ digital platform.
After the residencies, there will be a joint 4-day meeting organised at the BBB Centre d’Art in Toulouse, which will take place in November 2022, on which the three selected projects must participate. This meeting is understood as a complementary part of the residency and will be organised as a collective laboratory space combining time for production and reflection with meetings with professionals, to promote the launch of the research projects once the residencies are completed.
Calendar:
- 3 October – 3 November 2022: Residency period at Casa Planas (Palma).
- 15 September – 15 October 2022: Residency period at La Escocesa (Barcelona).
- 3 October – 3 November 2022: Virtual residency period with Idensitat.
- Mid-November 2022: A 4-day joint laboratory at the Le BBB art center in Toulouse.
Support:
- For the three residencies, 1750 euros for fees and to cover expenses.
- For the Barcelona and Mallorca residencies, grants will be provided for accommodation, travel assistance (limited to 150 euros) and workspace.
- For the virtual residence, web space and hosting fees.
- For the three selected artists in each residency, accommodation, travel and daily expenses for participation in the Laboratory-meeting in Toulouse.
All proposals for art projects and artistic and social mediation projects related to the suggested theme will be welcome, especially those which include local cultural actors, or those with a connection to the creative spaces where the residences will take place.
The open call is addressed to individual candidates, specifically to those working in the fields of art, creation and contemporary thought, interested in research, formats of artistic residency, and learning in a different location.
