GasWorks/TrAIN Call for Applications

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The Research Centre for Transnational Art, Identity and Nation (TrAIN) at the University of the Arts London is teaming up with Gasworks International Residency Programme to offer a fully funded three month residency and research placement for a non UK-based artist.

The residency comprises:
- accommodation and living expenses in London
- a private studio at Gasworks
- access to University of the Arts London library and research facilities
- contribution to research culture and seminars at TrAIN
- an Open Studio and artist's talk at Gasworks
- administrative, academic and curatorial support from both institutions.

Offering both practical and academic research facilities, this residency focuses on professional development, artistic exchange and the development of artistic research and process. The support, networks and creative environments that Gasworks and TrAIN can offer will provide the artist with the means to research and experiment with new work, taking an important step in an international context.

This residency is open to mid-career artists not based in the UK, who are three years out of a BA or equivalent. The selected artist will be in a strong position to make an enthusiastic, discursive and speculative contribution to both the academic and studio environments.

The residency is scheduled to take place from October 2007.

Deadline for application - 30 July 2007
Announcement - 10 August 2007
