Residency for photographers
Deadline: 2 May, 2011
Niort, France, a town of 60,000 inhabitants, has been the setting for this residency since the very beginning of the annual Rencontres de la Jeune Photographie Internationale. The eight selected residents will be accompanied throughout their stay by Christian Caujolle, co-founder of the Agence VU, and will be given full technical support from the team of the professional standards, including a black and white darkroom and a digital workshop is reserved for their exclusive use. In this context, the young artists are invited to create and experiment. They have total carte blanche to work as they wish, stimulated by their encounters, exchanges and the diverse approaches of other participants. This amounts to a truly unique artistic experience.
The expenses covered for this residency include:
- Supplies required for creation
- Accommodation, breakfast and evening meal from 25 August to 10 September 2011 (included).
- Travel costs within the French territory, for foreign participants from point of arrival in France to Niort (for example: Paris-Niort)
- The works of the selected residents, submitted as part of their application, will be exhibited from 1 July to 7 September. The laureates must agree to ensure delivery of these works to the address of the association Pour lInstant by the beginning of June. The association
will reimburse the sender for the cost of transport of works upon presentation of the receipt during the residency.
During the residency, the laureates agree to produce an exhibition. The created works will be exhibited from 9 September until 22 October, and will then join the collection of works built up over the years by the association. All negatives and digital files remain the property of the author.
