TrAIN/Gasworks Residency, Open Studio, December 2007

TrAIN collaborates with Gasworks International Residency Programme to offer a fully funded three month residency and research placement for an artist not based in the UK.

A collaboration between these two institutions aims to contribute to an understanding of how research relates to the type of practice specific to an international residency. It is hoped that this will be of value both to the artist, and to those involved with Gasworks and TrAIN: as staff, students, and other resident artists.

The residency offers an opportunity for the selected artist to join the open artist’s studio environment offered by Gasworks, while also participating in research seminars and discussions at the TrAIN Research Centre. In applying to the residency, artists are asked to consider how they would make use of these complementary contexts, and to state how their work related to the research interests of TrAIN.

TrAIN is delighted to welcome Erika Arzt (Austria) and Juan Linares (Spain) as the first resident artists for this collaboration. Between 3rd October 2007 and 19th December 2007, they will develop a new project in London.

Details of future residency competitions will be announced on this website, to stay informed, please subscribe to the the TrAIN Bulletin’s RSS feed.
