TrAIN/Gasworks Artists' Residency
Cinthia Marcelle, Fonte 193 (Fountain 193), 2007, video still
International residencies raise specific questions for individual artists, and wider issues regarding how both local and international contexts are negotiated in practice.
Each year, TrAIN collaborates with Gasworks International Residency Programme to offer a fully funded three month practice-based research fellowship for an artist not based in the UK. The residency offers an opportunity for the artist to join the studio environment offered by Gasworks, while also participating in research seminars and discussions at the TrAIN Research Centre, and developing work for an exhibition at the Foyer Space of Camberwell College of Arts.
Cinthia Marcelle is currently living and working in South East London as the second TrAIN/Gasworks artist in residence. She will develop a new installation for the Foyer Space at Camberwell College of Arts, which will open to the public on Friday 27th March 2009.
Our first resident artists for this collaboration were Erika Arzt and Juan Linares.

Marcelle’s practice extends from drawing and collage to city-scale interventions that are replayed as video or photography. In ‘Confronto’ (2005) for example, she arranged a street performance involving a group of the fire-jugglers who entertain cars waiting at red traffic lights; instead of moving aside when the lights turn green, the jugglers here stay in the middle of the road, increasing in number and persistently blocking the flow of traffic.

Resident Artist - TrAIN/Gasworks 2007-08
Through project based work, Erika Arzt and Juan Linares work collaboratively and responsively, exploring the inclusion of communities in the development of their projects, which take the form of interventions and site specific works. The artists work to consult local interests and concerns in the development of their projects, offering up authorship and direct decision making to dialogue and communication.
