Videobrasil launches permanent artistic
residency programme at the 16th Festival
Starting in 2007, a permanent programme supported by Prince Claus Fund
http://www.princeclausfund.nl will systematise Associação
Cultural Videobrasil's activities in the field of artistic residencies.
Designed to strengthen the interchange programmes offered in Brazil and
create a rotational dynamic that benefits Brazilian, Latin American, and
African artists, the Videobrasil Residency Programme consolidates a
movement that has intensified in the last five years with the creation of
the residency prizes awarded by the Videobrasil Festival in partnership
with Le Fresnoy Institute National des Arts Contemporains (France),
Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (Brazil), and Gasworks
(England).
In addition to Fresnoy, the French Consulate in Brazil, Aliança
Francesa, and FAAP, the Programme has a new important partner, WBK Vrije
Academie (The Netherlands). Other collaborators with recognised track
records in the field of artistic residencies are Capacete Entretenimentos
and Instituto Sacatar (Brazil).
The first phase of the Programme offers eight residencies scheduled for
2008 and 2009. The FAAP Digital Arts Prize brings a foreign artist to
São Paulo; the Le Fresnoy Audiovisual Creation Award takes a
Brazilian artist to the renowned French media centre; the Videobrasil WBK
Vrije Academie Prize sends four artists to The Hague, The Netherlands;
Videobrasil Capacete and Sacatar Residency Prizes go to one Brazilian and
one foreign artist, respectively.
The artists awarded residency placings will be selected by a committee of
representatives from Videobrasil and its partners. The first selection
committee features Solange Farkas and Ana Pato (Associação
Cultural Videobrasil), along with Tom van Vliet (WBK Vrije Academie) and
Marcos Moraes (FAAP).
The Programme will offer the following prizes:
Le Fresnoy Audiovisual Creation Award France
Le Fresnoy -- Studio National des Arts Contemporains
http://www.lefresnoy.net is a postacademic audiovisual production and
research centre conceived of and directed by Alain Fleischer and
inaugurated in 1997 at Tourcoing, France. Guest teachers have included
Jean-Luc Godard and Gary Hill. The focus of this prize is on breaching the
boundaries between traditional and electronic audiovisual media and
languages. Offered since 2003 by Le Fresnoy, the French General Consulate
in Brazil, and Aliança Francesa de São Paulo, the award
gives an artist a three-month term of residence at the centre, complete
with logistic support for the production of an audiovisual work.
The FAAP Digital Arts Prize
With an aknowledged School of Visual Arts, Fundação Armando
Alvares Penteado http://www.faap.br has consolidated itself as a hotbed of
contemporary production in Brazil. The Foundation stands out for its
emphasis on research and on the formation of professionals forever in the
thick of the discussion on contemporary artistic practices. "FAAP
foments artistic experimentation and this is the reason for granting the
prize", says Marcos Moraes, coordinator of the visual arts course.
Based at the Lutetia building in São Paulo, FAAP residency
programme is open to Brazilians and foreigners working in the fields of
the visual arts. It has welcomed 20 artists, including the 27th Bienal de
São Paulo international residents.
Videobrasil WBK Vrije Academie Prize
Vrije Academie Werkplaats voor Beeldende Kunsten
http://www.vrijeacademie.org is an independent interdisciplinary
postacademic art institute initiated in 1947 by the Dutch light artist and
video pioneer Livinus van der Bundt. Going against the grain of the
classical art academies, the centre encouraged interaction and interchange
among various disciplines: painting, sculpture, photography, and the
moving image. Managed by artists since its foundation, the current
director is the sculptor Ingrid Rollema, with Tom van Vliet, the renowned
creator of the World Wide Video Festival, in charge of the moving image
department. Recently remodelled, the department now offers postproduction
and rehearsal studios for installation and media performance formats. Each
of the four winners will work at the academy as artists in residence for a
period of six weeks.
Videobrasil Sacatar Residency Prize
Instituto Sacatar http://www.sacatar.org runs an international residency
programme for artists at its premises in Ilha de Itaparica, Bahia. A
member of Res Artis, the Worldwide Network of Artist Residencies, and the
Alliance of Artists Communities, its goals are to facilitate interaction
and collaboration with the community, and boost the visibility and
cultural impact of the city and nation in which it functions.
Videobrasil Capacete Residency Prize
The purpose of CAPACETE Entretenimentos http://www.capacete.net is to
produce conceptual and contextual works that embrace multiple artistic
strategies. Its residencies serve as a career-building platform for the
artist, documenting his/her production and bringing it within reach of the
public. The representation is the content itself.
The Videobrasil Residency Programme will be launched during the 16th
International Electronic Art Festival SESC_Videobrasil, that takes place
between September 30 and October 25, 2007 at SESC Avenida Paulista,
São Paulo. Winners of the residencies scheduled for 2008 will be
announced during the Festival.
