Artists in residence
In collaboration with Progetto Giovani for Youth Policies Office in Padova, fondazione march joins the international network "Pépinières européennes pour jeunes artistes”, to promote the mobility of young artists.
During the last seventeen years, the Pépinières Européennes pour jeunes artistes have been fostering and supporting promotion and mobility of young artists amongst the European artistic scene. They launch a new experimental mobility programme for the period 2008-2009, conceived as an introduction to a more ambitious upcoming programme including mobility, distribution, co-production and training activities.
The mobility programme 2008-2009 offers a wide range of ideas for artists, to provide a pertinent response to the various movements of a young generation of artists, in relationship with a number of creation structures partners proposing an opening to contrasting local, social and economic environments. It thus constitutes a great opportunity for the emergence of many projects and the encounter of a new audience, focusing on three types of residency projects: open art programme, artshare, and artventure.
The type of residency chosen by fondazione march is Open Art Programme, which is developed with creative sites that have a reputation and label of excellence in their particular field and prioritises trans-disciplinary projects. It targets young European artists who are willing to risk the discovery of new forms of expression by collaborating with other creators from different artistic horizons. By blending their experiences, they invite the participation of a diversified public in their artistic projects.
