Short Description

RuptureXIBIT is an artist-run space in London, a 30-minute train ride from Waterloo, and steps away from the station in Hampton Wick. We exist to encourage the development of artistic practice in all disciplines. Our purpose is to highlight the potential for growth that comes from focused work and conversations that arise during a residency and Open Studio.

Eligibility

Once a quarter, we will host Invitational Artists in Residence. These residencies offer space and time for artists with established practices to interrogate or try something out. Invitational Resident Artists are required as a condition of their month long residency only to give one artist’s talk and hold one open studio. No final work needs to be produced, the artist can choose to hold a show or not.

Submission Requirements

  • A written proposal for your residency (up to 500 words). This describes your concept for your residency and open studio event.
  • Up to ten images of work. This is a portfolio of current work.
  • A statement (up to 500 words) about why or how your practice will benefit from a mentoring residency at the RuptureXIBIT. This is where you can talk about how you hope to push yourself and your practice by using and showing in the space, and talk about experimental ideas
  • We ask that you include the following with the proposal, should we accept your application:
  • An artist bio (max 250 words)
