STANDPOINT FUTURES @ CHISENHALE STUDIOS
DEVELOPMENT RESIDENCIES FOR VISUAL ARTISTS/p>
Standpoint Futures is a residency programme for visual artists, providing high calibre, tailored opportunities for discussion and interaction with the London art world. The programme is designed to be flexible and responsive to the project, needs and desired outcomes of individual participants. Our chief aims are to provide high quality, individualised opportunities to develop the artist's practice and career, and to promote the exchange of ideas between London and the wider UK art world.
This residency is particularly suited to artists who want to gain intensive feedback on their work, expand their networks and explore opportunities in the London art world, as well as realise a specific project, or test new ideas or practice methods with advice and support.
Artists are based at residency partner Chisenhale Studios for 6 weeks, during which time we implement a tailored set of meetings with artists, thinkers and curators of the highest calibre. Our focus is to give as much input into an artist’s work and career in the time we have, to make a significant difference to their future practice and career. Through engaging in London's art scene and being in a new context, artists can develop ideas and contacts and develop their practice, expertise and opportunities.
Applications are invited for the seventh programme of Standpoint Futures.
NB. This will be an interim programme open to artists based in England only.
Standpoint Futures awards artists 6 weeks residency, including free studio and accommodation, plus all advisor and mentoring meetings, and a contribution to expenses of £100 per week.
Whenever possible we aim to facilitate meetings with those people (based in London) who you most want to see. We have wide-ranging contacts with prominent practicing artists, curators, writers and lecturers, from diverse backgrounds and disciplines within Fine Art practice.
First residency: 6 November - 15 December 2017
