Aviário Studio Artist Book Residency Fall/Winter 2027-28

Overview
Aviário Studio's Artist Book Residency provides a focused environment for creative practitioners to develop book projects that engage with the material and conceptual possibilities of the artist's book. Situated within a broader interdisciplinary context, the residency supports work that traverses photography, painting, and dance—disciplines that often intersect in contemporary bookmaking through documentation, performance, and visual narrative. The program is designed for artists who consider the book not merely as a container for images but as a primary medium for artistic inquiry. The residency operates without an application fee, reflecting a commitment to accessibility and merit-based selection. While the exact duration and facilities are not specified in the provided information, the Fall/Winter 2027–28 term offers a sustained period for research, production, and dialogue. Artists are expected to arrive with a project in progress or a clear proposal, ready to engage with the studio's resources and the critical feedback of peers and mentors. Curatorially, the residency emphasizes the book as a site of experimentation where photography, painting, and dance can converge. This is not a program for conventional portfolio development; rather, it seeks practitioners who are interrogating the boundaries of their disciplines through the book form. The selection committee will prioritize proposals that demonstrate a rigorous conceptual framework and a thoughtful approach to the materiality of the book.
