ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE [AIR] IN GRANADA
The Unifiedfield‘s Artist-In-Residence (AIR) programme offers to artists a very special experience to create work in the Spanish city of Granada, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The space is a charming old antique apartment located right in the middle of the old town (Albayzín) on Carrera Del Darro, one of the most emblematic streets in Granada with direct views to the Moorish palace the Alhambra.
Access to The Unifiedfield’s artist residency programme is currently open to all creators without restriction, but priority will be given to artists working on the experimental and interdisciplinary fringes.
The Unifiedfield will select the most interesting proposals, in terms of quality and artistic interest, from the total number of applications. Artists will be assisted in the production of a new work, and at the end of the residency will be asked to give a public presentation in Granada about their work produced during the residency. Eventually if circumstances allow, under the discretion of The Unifiedfield, we can organize several other presentations for further promotion of the artists in Europe and/or Asia.
The Unifiedfield will be working closely with the selected artists to seek the subvention needed to cover the Residency Fees as well as the necessary support for the artist’s production cost, living expenses, travel expenses and fees.
This open call is for the month long AIR programme which will commence in May 2012.
The AIR Granada program provides the artist in residence with the following:
1) SPACE
1 x private bedroom
1 x private studio
1 x shared living room
1 x shared kitchen with dining room
1 x shared toilet and bathroom
2) USE OF EQUIPMENT
1 x video projector
1 x HD video camera
Sound studio with professional monitoring system and sub-woofer
3) ADMINISTRATION
- Translation and interpretation
- Documentation in video and photo formats of the works
- Organization of all presentations/performances
4) PROMOTIONS
- Design and diffusion of the final presentation at the end of the residency
Ever mindful that its main focus is on artistic production, The Unifiedfield, for instance, does not possess a permanent exhibition area, but has instead a versatile space used for both artist studios and for public presentations / screenings. Genuinely attentive to artists’ needs, The Unifiedfield remains flexible and is always ready to adapt itself and if the occasion arises where a larger space is required for a certain event, The Unifiedfield can collaborate locally with other art spaces and institutions.
