Basement Project Space - Residency

Basement Project Space
Call for Proposals

Basement Project Space is a new artist-led studio and exhibition space in Cork City, Ireland.
We are calling for proposals from artists to participate in a 3 week residency beginning on the 23rd October 2009 and culminating in an exhibition on 13th November 2009 as part of Cork city’s annual ArtTrail festival.

Applicants are asked to respond to this year's ArtTrail theme, 'Rediscovering Locality', by proposing work that engages with the space of the residency and the question of ‘locality’. Two successful applicants will be given the Basement Project exhibition space to develop and stage their work. Accommodation can be provided in Cork city and a very small amount of money is also available for travel costs.

Applicants should send proposals that indicate a starting point or process that will determine their work, or detail unrealised projects that may be enacted as part of the residency. Collaboration between the two successful artists will be encouraged and joint proposals are also acceptable. To apply, send images of previous work, a CV, artist’s statement and a proposal for use of the space to:
E: [email protected]

Deadline for submissions: 16 October 2009
