General description
The Villa Arson offers a study and research program which reunites its
different entities (the studios of the higher school of art, the national center
for contemporary art, the artists' residencies, and the study and research
library) around a common work experience. The program aims at welcoming the
selected artists in an environment favorable to the development of their artistic
research. They will benefit from the Villa Arson's collaboration with its academic
partners, particularly the University of the Cte d'Azur, and from an international
contemporary art network.
Goal of the program
The program is intended for artists who have already attained a professional
status (all types of practices are accepted) and who wish to go more in depth
through theoretical, technical and practical contacts with the artists working at
the Villa Arson.
What is at stake is the affirmation that artistic creation is a process of research,
and that it produces meaning that can therefore be transmitted.
The program aims at encouraging and helping the production of art works by
making all the technical and human amenities of an institution such as the Villa
Arson available to the participants.
Organization of the program
Meetings
The program is organized along several paths of research that complement each
other and converge during the three year period.
The curriculum itself is conceived as an inside experience of the Villa Arson (the
artists participate in various ways in the activities and in the life of the institution)
while remaining open to the outside and benefiting from the interaction with
the Villa Arson's various partners (the university, and other art centers and/or
schools).
Various types of encounters will be offered: seminars, workshops, study days or
participation in the Villa Arson's activities.
The research program will be organized according to an annual schedule through
discussions with the participants of the program, the teachers directing it and the
directors of the Villa Arson.
Publishing and circulating the results of the research
The artists will conceive the different ways of publishing and circulating the
results of their research: edition, conferences, event, exhibition, festival, etc.)
