CAMP is the first of a new breed of arts residency. We run five-day residential arts, music, writing, philosophy, environmental and arts-activist sessions. These are no ordinary courses - they are intense, artistic catalysts run by internationally acclaimed practitioners; creative flashpoints designed to change the lives of everyone involved. Our current program includes opportunities to study with Turner Prize winner Laure Prouvost, celebrated composer Gavin Bryars, Cabaret Voltaire founder and world-famous sound recordist Chris Watson, electronic producer of the moment Laurel Halo, KLF/K-Foundation co-founder Bill Drummond, NYC avant-garde composer/sound artist Eli Keszler, art-activists Adbusters, the Center for Political Beauty, and many others.
It's a place where great art is made, new movements are formed, new ideas are explored and groundbreaking people are nurtured. It's about generating revolutions, incubating creative minds and bringing the best emerging practitioners in all artistic fields to their full potential.
The focus of CAMP is to use what we have – our artistic network, our facilities, our various record labels and publishing operations, our relationships with acclaimed artists and our artist support platforms – to provide people with a catalytic, game-changing masterclass experience, in inspiring surroundings.
Local information: CAMP is located in Aulus les Bains, the last village before the France/Spain Pyrenean frontier chain. The location is spectacular - we are nestled at 750m above sea level, surrounded by snowcapped peaks over 3000m high, ancient forests and cascading waterfalls. There are eagles, lammergeiers, vultures, ibex and bears.
Walk out of the residency, and within ten minutes you are completely alone in one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in Europe. Aulus les Bains is also a spa village - there are hot water springs, and a thermal spa in the village to take advantage of the healing and relaxing properties of the water.
CAMP provides accommodation for all participants on-site, in the form of private, peaceful rooms with mountain views. CAMP also houses advanced facilities available to all residential students - recording facilities, digital video and photography editing suites, rehearsal and performance spaces, fine art studios, a cinema, an arts library and numerous installation spaces. All food and drinks, including local specialities, wine and cheese, are included.
Artists benefit from an intense, catalytic learning experience studying their chosen discipline with one of the most celebrated artists in their field. They live, eat, study and create with their session leader(s) for a week, gaining new skills and insights, building their network, learning new techniques and approaches.
After the session, all participants benefit from our post-course support. We run an art gallery and performance venue in the UK, a publishing house, three record labels, a radio station and are part of an extensive European touring network. We provide ongoing support to all participants, offering exhibition, release, broadcast, touring and publication opportunities, as well as ongoing training and networking.
We're extremely keen that our sessions form a career-changing point in an artist's professional life.
Additionally, attendees can take part in optional activities to make the most of their stay in this incredible place - mountain expeditions, wildlife walks and visits to some of the most beautiful spots in the area.
Grants, bursaries and educational discounts are available - see campfr.com/funding for more details.
