As part of the France-Portugal Season 2022, A4 is an artistic residency project led by the collective Fetart, based in Paris and represented by Carine Dolek, and Ci.CLO Photography Platform, based in Porto and represented by Virgílio Ferreira.
A4 brings together 2 artists and 2 curators (2 Portuguese, 2 French). The call for applications is open to emerging and established artists working with photography and/or video aiming to develop new work in an artistic residency in S. Miguel, Azores. The process is based on collaborative dynamics to reinforce critical thinking and the sharing experiences between everyone involved in the residencies.
The residency collaborative process will be documented in a publication, and the work will be published online. The residency will be publicly presented during the first week of the Rencontres d’Arles. The presentation formats will aim to document the work developed by the artists, taking into consideration their collaborative strategies and peer learning during the residency
This call for applications is open to emerging and established artists working with photography and/or video who are of French or Portuguese nationality. There is no obligation to live or work in those countries. It is essential to speak, write and understand English, as this is a European project and all of the meetings will be conducted in English
