Raid Projects is currently looking for applications
for our International Artist-in Residence Program. The
next available slot starts in December 2003 and we are
booking now for all of 2004. The residency is for 3-6
months. This residency is available to artists who
live and work outside of the USA and for US artists
outside of LA in special circumstances (eg. if the
proposal is particularly relevant to this city).
The applications must include a resume/cv, images of
work and a statement of purpose - why the residency is
important to do in LA rather than elsewhere. This
should direct attention towards a body of work that
the artist will develop during their stay which
responds to actually being here, in some way. All
genres will be considered, including writers and
critics.
The residency provides a working studio and a separate
bedroom. An exhibition of the work produced during the
residency will be presented to the public during the
final month of the residency. This last month is seen
as an opportunity to meet with LA gallerists and
invite them to do studio visits, see the show and
discuss future co-operation and potential exhibitions,
as well as to network with other artists and critics.
The cost of the residency is $800 per month ($1000 per
month if 2 artists are collaborating or a couple wish
to apply), which includes the spaces, the final show
costs and any gallery overheads. We will work in
conjunction with the artist to help facilitate
applications for funding. All flight, shipping, living
and material costs are the responsibility of the
artist.
Any interested parties can contact Max Presneill at
the gallery for more information.
