at Homesession, Barcelona, Spain
Residency period : 01/09/25 - 31/10/25
For artists of any nationality living and working in France.
This open call is for artists of any nationality living in France.
Artistes en résidence (Clermont-Ferrand, France) and Homesession (Barcelona, Spain) are offering a two-month research and creative residency at Homesession in Barcelona for an artist living and working in France, regardless of age, nationality and/or qualifications.
Since 2007, Homesession has been encouraging contemporary art with different programmes : a residency open to international artists, production grants for Spanish artists and Polaritats, an educational programme. In an ongoing effort to support artists and disseminate their work, Homesession welcomes proposals based on a wide range of media and practices, always favouring interdisciplinary connections.
Homesession strives to complement the work of Barcelona's art institutions, and offers a space for experimental and innovative proposals, in terms of content, format and aesthetic, leaving space for the unexpected.
In order to promote the mobility of Spanish artists, Homesession opened its
Exchange programme in 2014 in collaboration with THisStudio (United Kingdom), art3 (France), Belgrade Air (Serbia), Aquila Reale (Italy), L'Écart (Québec) and from 2023 with Artistes en Résidence (A-R) (France).
Created in 2011 in Clermont-Ferrand, Artistes en résidence is a non-profit organization which supports contemporary creation by organizing residencies for artists and researchers in contemporary art. We support the international mobility of artists and the circulation of ideas and know-how, through the development of a vast network of local, national and international partners.
A·R understands residencies as a period entirely dedicated to research and experimentation, with no obligation to produce. This orientation intends to provide artists with the necessary time for qualitative and in-depth research, to promote a real immersion in the territory and to allow all the trial and error, detours and critical questioning necessary for the development of their art practice.
The period of residency of the artist from France in Barcelona is scheduled from 1st of September to 31st of October 2025.
At Homesession, the accommodation is a mezzanine space above the studio. The artist is the only person accommodated in these premises, and the Homesession team has its offices in a different location in the city of Barcelona. Although the team is present to accompany the artist, a certain degree of autonomy is required. It is advisable to be fluent in Catalan, Spanish or English to take full advantage of the residency.
The portfolios can be in French, Spanish or English. The note of intent however needs to be written in French or English.
The deadline for applications is 19th January 2025, 23h59 french hour.
The results will be communicated end of February 2025.
