Deadline: 19-Feb-23
The Musée Du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac has launched the call for applications for the second edition of its Sound Art Residency Program.
As part of the Sound Art Residency, the museum will finance a work of sound art that may enter its permanent collection. The work produced during the residency may be a transdisciplinary piece, and not strictly a work of sound art. However, the main component of the piece must be sound of any type (music, spoken or sung voices, ambient sound) The jury will give precedence to pieces conceived in connection with the museum’s collections, interests and theme.
Technical Support
- For the Sound Art Residencies, the musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac is collaborating with Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains who will host the artist for two work sessions and provide technical support for its production and post-production.
- Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains, is situated in Tourcoing (16km from Lille) and is one of France’s leading educational institutions in the artistic, audio-visual and digital fields. It emphasizes the crossing of disciplines and encourages the production of fullscale work with professional production means. Piloted by Alain Fleischer, he artistic direction of the school encourages moving back and forth between the traditional tools and languages of modernity (cinema, photography, video, sound and music creation) and the world of emerging technologies and the digital arts.
- While working on their personal project, the professional artists also accompany the students’ projects.
Compensation
- The laureate will receive 8 000 € net. This sum covers the rights and artist’s fees incurred in the creation of the work, as well as purchase by the museum for entry into the museum’s collection and delivery of the finished artwork (digital file or any other format).
