The Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art, an established program traditionally held in the Swiss Alps, transitions to an online format for its 2021 iteration, presented in partnership with Chateau Orquevaux. This residency offers visual artists a period of focused creative development within a structured, intellectually rigorous environment. While the physical setting shifts to remote participation, the Institute's commitment to critical discourse and artistic experimentation remains central. As a non-funded opportunity, the program does not provide financial support, and applicants should anticipate covering their own expenses. The residency is designed for artists seeking immersion in a community of peers and mentors, with the expectation that participants will engage actively with the program's offerings. The online modality allows for broader geographic accessibility, though it requires self-discipline and a reliable digital setup. The curatorial vision emphasizes process over product, encouraging artists to explore new directions, research, and dialogue. The Institute's history suggests a focus on contemporary art practices that interrogate theoretical and social contexts. Artists are expected to contribute to and benefit from the collective exchange, making the most of this concentrated period of creative inquiry.
