Association Françoise pour l’œuvre contemporaine
Paris, France
Launched in by the Françoise Association and the Cité internationale des arts, this research and creative residency programme explores the links between contemporary art, psychiatry and the humanities. Conceived as an open research space, this programme is not a therapeutic programme. It is open to artists of all nationalities whose practice resonates with the notion of the ‘clinical’. This refers to a situated approach, as close as possible to the subject, ‘at the patient’s bedside’. Within the context of the residency, this approach shifts towards the artistic field: creation is envisaged here as a grounded, relational practice, attentive to the contexts in which it takes shape. The programme thus promotes approaches that remain as close as possible to real-life narratives and experiences, and which engage in a reflection on the challenges of care. The laureate will receive bespoke support from Albertine de Galbert, a clinical psychologist and exhibition curator, and from the programme’s partners. **Residency report** * Ongoing documentation: online logbook, newsletter * Personalised support and follow-up * Public events: open studio halfway through the project * Final presentation (exhibition, public event or publication), to be agreed with the winner and the partners

The Urban culture laboratory
Paris, France
Since opening, the CENTQUATRE-PARIS has been committed to the growth and development of urban cultures. The CENTQUATRE-PARIS offers all visitors the possibility to practice any living art in its open-spaces. Visitors freely use the space to create their own stages, continuously redefining our open spaces. Since , the CENTQUATRE-PARIS has hosted a laboratory dedicated to artistic creation in the multidisciplinary field of urban culture and its interactions with public spaces. This laboratory can accommodate around fifteen artists and troupes per year. The lab is intended for independent artists, collectives, troupes and organizations, coming from all of urban culture’s artistic disciplines and all geographical horizons. After their application is granted, the artists get access to a work space at the CENTQUATRE-PARIS for a research and creation residency for a fixed period of 50 hours and - if needed - they get technical or artistic support. The research must question the notion of public space, its origin, its practical aspects, its form or its representation. Rolling
