Residency Conditions >>
- Residents are required to be in Paris for the entire duration of the residency (3 weeks). Galerie Labocine is a space to only work and live. There is a small bedroom with similar traits to Van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles adjacent to the main gallery space.
- The residency covers accommodation, meals, and roundtrip travel, but does not offer a separate stipend.
- If you have current or potential collaborators, they’re welcome to visit you in the space. However, we can only host one resident per cycle, and the application must be submitted by a single individual.
- A film is required at the end of your residency, but it can take various forms— documentary, fiction, field research, video art installation, or even a single scene.
- The work be featured on Labocine platform and be attributed a Science New Wave Certificate.
- Residents will be asked to document their experience by sharing Field Notes (making-of footage, research material, sketchbooks, text, documentation and more). Weekly meetings with a Labocine team are part of this process.
