Chateau Orquevaux, an artist residency set in the rural expanse of Mareuil en Périgord, France, has issued an open call for DUETS, a program designed to foster creative exchange between two visual artists. The residency provides a shared studio environment and living quarters within a historic chateau, encouraging sustained dialogue and joint production. While the residency does not offer funding, it presents an opportunity for artists to immerse themselves in a supportive, international community away from the pressures of daily life. The DUETS residency is structured around the principle of collaboration, inviting artists to propose a project that will be developed over the course of their stay. The chateau's setting—amidst the landscapes of southwestern France—offers both solitude and camaraderie, allowing pairs to work intensively while engaging with the broader cohort of residents. The program is open to visual artists at various career stages, with a focus on those who demonstrate a clear intent to collaborate and a willingness to engage with the residency's ethos of exchange. As with all residencies at Chateau Orquevaux, DUETS emphasizes process over product, providing time and space for experimentation. Artists are expected to arrive with a defined project or line of inquiry, but the residency's flexible structure accommodates shifts in direction. The absence of funding places the onus on artists to secure their own support, yet the residency's reputation for fostering meaningful connections and critical feedback remains a draw for those seeking a generative retreat.
