THEME

‘artist on Standby’

With much of the world under isolation, artists are not able to participate in the community and traditional residencies hardly operate.

Artists will interpret the current situation – the transformation of life, culture art… Can we understand it as a response to our previous actions? Or is it a new opportunity?

Mobility restrictions create both alienation and entanglement. What opportunities and barriers does virtual space produce? How is the creation redefined?

We are looking for ideas and projects that are willing to experiment with a form, content, virtuality and reality.

Our online residency:
– as a residency, it provides its participants with the time and (mental) space to produce new work;
– as a seminar, it offers theoretical and conceptual resources that can be used by participants in their own practice;
– as a collaborative program, it links people from different corners of the planet whose practices are diverse and work in different environments. The program builds a strong sense of community and artistic collaboration among its participants which lasts after the program ends.

Belgrade Art Studio will help its participants to:
– Overcome this limbic moment in their practice and gain productive momentum.
– Join forces and work with their peers, either collaboratively or individually through mutual feedback.
– Make the most of the temporary transition between study practice and creative/productive online formats.
– Gain access to a new, international and specialized public.
– Build an international network of colleagues and peers, with whom future projects can then flourish.

STRUCTURE
Over the time of 4 weeks, the artist will join the other artists to create piece(s) of artwork that respond to the there ‘artists on Standby’. The program lead will interview artists and publish progress on social media to raise awareness globally and archive this unique moment in history. At the end of the residency, the artists will participate in a live streamed online viewing and round table forum.

In addition, the artists will be connected to other artists to help guide and advise them throughout the program.

PLAN
Over the course of the 4 week program, artists will produce work that responds to the theme ‘artist on standby’. Artists will be able to collaborate with each other and engage online.

TIME COMMITMENT
The program is not a full time residency. The artists will have the majority of time to continue their work. There will be conversations, events, roundtables, etc throughout the 4 weeks, which the artists will be expected to attend.

ARTWORK
The end product of the residency will require a piece of art that can be shown and viewed online. During the program, the team would also follow your process and get a glimpse into iterations, sketches, work product, and your work space.

PROGRAM

Expectations towards the artist

Our concept is for artists to have the concentrated space and time away, to think and explore what can be achieved, and to see what can emerge when in an artistically charged space away from the day-to-day thinking of their norms. We believe there is great potential in exploring other directions with the opportunity to focus, engage and work. We have no expectations from artists because usually when in Belgrade they get totally different perspective and do something else than planned.  If you have specific requests please feel free to include them in your applications. We work closely with many local curators, artists, gallery owners and collectors so this opportunity is limited by time available and might include additional costs. We will do all we can to fulfill your requests and goals while here.
