Site-Specific, Spatial Narratives & Embodiment, Open Call 2024, MX City.

Overview
Chateau Orquevaux, an organization with a history of hosting international residencies, extends an open call for projects that interrogate site-specificity, spatial narratives, and embodiment. This residency, situated in Mexico City, offers a context rich with layered histories, urban complexities, and cultural intersections. The call is open to practitioners across a wide spectrum of disciplines, from visual arts and performance to research and social practice, reflecting a commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue and experimental approaches. The residency provides a supportive environment for artists to develop work that responds to the unique conditions of Mexico City. While no funding is provided, the opportunity affords time, space, and a community of peers—essential resources for creative research and production. The curatorial vision emphasizes critical engagement with place, encouraging projects that consider how spatial dynamics and bodily presence inform artistic practice. Artists are invited to propose projects that may be in various stages of development, from conceptual exploration to finalized works. Given the rolling deadline, applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis, allowing for flexibility. The selection process likely prioritizes clarity of intent, relevance to the themes, and the feasibility of the proposed project within the residency framework. This call is particularly suited for those whose work is deeply rooted in context and who seek to expand their practice through immersive, site-responsive methods.
