Access Gallery, in partnership with Burrard Arts Foundation, invites
submissions for the second year of its Travelling Artist Residency Program,
Twenty-Three Days at Sea. Twenty-Three Days at Sea grants selected emergent
visual artists passage aboard cargo ships sailing from Vancouver, Canada to
Shanghai. Crossing the Pacific Ocean takes approximately twenty-three days,
during which time the artist will be considered “in residence” aboard the
vessel.

There are many hundreds of residency programs worldwide. Twenty-Three Days
at Sea follows the “aberrant” turn in artist residencies, in that it
imposes specific conditions and constraints (the strictures of the port;
the solitude of the freighter cabin; the expanse of the open sea) that
will, in turn shape artists’ ideas and work. It offers the opportunity to
integrate critical and creative practices into a new set of parameters, and
the potential of challenging established routines, activities and
assumptions. At its base, Twenty-Three Days at Sea asks artists to question
what constitutes creative space, and to consider how time is experienced
over the highly charged, yet largely invisible, spatial trajectory of a
trans-Pacific shipping route. It offers a profoundly generative time and
space—in the unconventional studio space of the cargo ship cabin—for
focused research and the creation of provocative new ideas and work.

For the 2016-17 year, successful candidates will sail on separate
freighters between the months of June and September, 2016.
