Sylvie Chenard
We have the pleasure of welcoming Sylvie Chenard
as our next artist in residence starting January 6 until Valentine’s
Day, 2004. Sylvie will be working on Fais ça toi-même!
(Do It Yourself), a research project for an interactive, feminist,
multimedia intervention. Her residency questions different aspects
of the cultural, social and political mess that confronts us daily
with the rise of communications technology as well as the increase
in anti-democratic and anti-ecological developments worldwide.
More to come… Welcome Sylvie!

DIY Thematic Residency
Option : Virtual
Studio XX is re-opening its call
for submissions for its thematic residency program. The possibility
of making it a virtual residency has been confirmed and the dates
have been adjusted.
Deadline: January 9th, 2004
Residency Dates: February 27 - April 4, 2004
This year's programming undertakes the exploration of the idea
DIY: Do It Yourself.
The evocation of the theme not only predisposes us to an explicit
autonomy, a reference to action, a self-sufficiency, but also
towards technological responsibility - to consciously develop
choices that can be made regarding artistic approaches which often
have larger cultural and socio-political implications. It is necessary
to place responsability in the hands of each person, to witness
ingenious imaginaries, pragmatic propensities that take innovative
forms in counter-networks, auto-surveillance, generative art and
free software initiatives with regards to the Web, to name just
a few.
The Studio favors interdisciplinary approaches and welcomes projects
created by collectives composed of artists working in collaboration
with other professionals. This replies to the growing number of
transdisciplinary projects and their inherent technological challenges
and complexities.
Residencies do not include travel costs and perdiem, and the artist
is reponsible for her living arrangements while in Montreal. However,
in response to a growing demand by women artists working outside
of the Montreal region, and who also wish to explore the different
possibilities of on-line and/or networked collaborations, Studio
XX is open to experiment with the dynamics of a long-distance,
residence, i.e. 'virtual'.
For accepted proposals, Studio XX
offers:
- $500 artist's fee
- 30 hours of technical support (value of $750)
- Access to the Studio's equipment (rental value of $2500)
- Possibility to participate in certain group workshops (value
of $200-$300)
- Distinct working space for the artist and her instructor.
All submissions are reviewed by a selection committee. Residencies
are six weeks in length. Studio XX disseminates the artist's project
on its Web site, with an artist's presentation given within its
Femmes br@nchées Salon series in the year following completion
of the project. For remote participants, the presentation takes
place on-line via streaming or a chat.
