“Pushing The Margins” Artist Residency 2019/2020 – AGA Lab (Netherlands)
With the open call ‘Pushing the margins’ we would like to open up the approach to the medium and stimulate iterative research, experimentation and cross overs.
The residency provides Dutch and International artists the opportunity to live and work in a studio building amongst other artists. With the residency our aim is to increase artists mobility, promote cultural exchange connecting parallel practices.
Amsterdam has a vibrant art scene with many artist-run initiatives, galleries and exhibition spaces.
Duration of residency: 2 months
Disciplines, work equipment and assistance ----
Artists working in other disciplines than printmaking are especially encouraged to apply. When applying margins as a strategy it can be a powerful concept.
We encourage participants to develop unconventional ways of conducting research as well as innovative forms of presenting the results, sharing their knowledge and stepping out of their ‘comfort zones’ of the expected.
Accommodation and studio/ workspace ----
AGA LAB is situated in the gym of a former school in Amsterdam West, an upcoming neighbourhood with a mixed population and different themes to explore.
