Chateau Orquevaux, an organization with a history of hosting international residencies, has announced the Belgrade Art Studio Residency for the 2018/2019 cycle. This residency is situated in Belgrade, a city with a rich cultural history and a dynamic contemporary art scene. The program is open to artists working in a diverse range of disciplines, including book arts, curatorial work, dance, drawing, interdisciplinary arts, performance art, poetry, and video art. This breadth suggests an interest in cross-disciplinary dialogue and experimentation. The residency operates on a rolling deadline, allowing artists to apply at any time. However, prospective applicants should note that no funding is provided; the residency is self-funded. This model places the onus on the artist to secure financial support, which may be available through external grants or institutional backing. The absence of a specified fee status indicates that costs associated with the residency—such as studio space, accommodation, and living expenses—are likely the responsibility of the selected artist. It is advisable to inquire directly with the organization for a detailed breakdown of expenses. As a self-directed residency, the program likely offers artists the autonomy to pursue their own projects without a prescribed thematic framework. The curatorial vision appears to prioritize independent research and production, with the expectation that artists will engage with the local context of Belgrade. The residency may provide studio space and possibly opportunities for public engagement, though specifics are not detailed in the available information. Artists seeking a structured program with extensive institutional support may find this less suitable, while those who thrive in self-determined environments may benefit from the time and space to develop their work.
