Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening is bringing back the Third Space Residency for 2022! This year\u2019s focus is video art. Whether you use a smartphone or a cinema camera, we welcome Sk\u00e5ne-based artists of all skill levels to apply.<\/p>\n
With this residency, we want to encourage new voices and emerging artists. Though all artists in Sk\u00e5ne are welcome to apply, we hope to create a space especially for BIPOC and QTBIPOC artists here.<\/p>\n
Degrees are fine but not required. Above all, we\u2019re looking for vision, drive, independence\u2014and a willingness to participate in critical group discussions.<\/p>\n
Apply here<\/a> before April 3!<\/p>\n From April 27\u2013September 23, you will receive a mentorship with a local artist together with curator C. Grace Chang to develop your creative vision and technical skills. Your video artwork may also include external components, e.g. physical installation, accompanying sound art.<\/p>\n You will each create a video artwork in response to the prompt below. (Scroll down). This year, the prompt comes in the form of a literary quote from novelist Akwaeke Emezi. Feel free to interpret as you wish. Aspects, words, feelings, themes\u2014they\u2019re all fair game.<\/p>\n All participants will attend group workshops, where we will have critical discussions. This will include creative and technical feedback, plus some pedagogical sessions.<\/p>\n Participants will debut their video artwork in a group exhibition at Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening. Participants will receive an artist fee in accordance with the MU-agreement for the exhibition.<\/p>\n Honestly, Yshwa, I just want to rest. Let me find a place where even if I\u2019m alone, I can sit on my veranda and look at a mango tree and we can just talk. You will be the words in my mouth and the ones that fall from my fingers; you will be the one to whom I direct my longing.<\/em><\/p>\n \u2013 Akwaeke Emezi, Freshwater<\/p>\n This prompt is a starting point. It\u2019s not about making a literal narrative. Interpret away! You might explore feelings, imagined spaces, metaphorical love letters\u2014or not! It\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n The Third Space Residency aims to cultivate a space of community for local QTBIPOC artists. While \u201cthird space\u201d refers to the postcolonial condition of hybridization of societies, places, and people\u2014it also describes spaces of in-betweenness. Got questions?

About the residency<\/h4>\n
\nOur main goal is a \u201cfor us\/by us\u201d space where BIPOC (especially queer, trans, and NB) artists aren\u2019t just in the conversation but are actively leading it. The Third Space Residency was created in 2020 by Sk\u00e5nes konstf\u00f6rening\u2019s curator C. Grace Chang.<\/p>\nDetailed information<\/h4>\n
