2023 OPEN CALL
Application process for 2023 residency is now open, deadline December 5th
VVV Residency is a space of critical reflection on video libraries and a production time for videoart. The residency focuses on the video-trouvé as a tool to look at one's own research through the eyes of others: a topic to face nowadays where human interaction and perception of reality is continuously glitching within screen interfaces. The artist in residency is digital and IRL space for conversation and production. Over a period of 6 weeks artists engage with different digital tools: a blog, webinar platform, digital and physical archives, a streaming platform. The process ends with a 4 day event in Naples.
Digital Residency
A specially dedicated online blog (https://vvvres.blogspot.com/ ) is the space on which artists share the work in progress with other artists and tutors. It works as a kind of shared diary of images enlightening the visual link between the researches.
Webinar collective meetings introduce the artists to the residency, to the international videoart landscape and to have moments of collective sharing about the research. Private meetings with the two tutors, Alessandra Arnò and Simona Da Pozzo, support the work in progress of each artist. Part of the work is run exploring and analyzing critically free video libraries and the potential of merging the personal research with a pre-existing collective imaginary.
Event and exhibit
The works realized during the residency period are shown in an exhibition running in streaming on VisualcontainerTv for one month giving great international visibility to the artworks.
The exhibition opening will be a live (IRL) event in Naples at SuperOtium and it will happen via a talk with artists based in Naples: 3 days stay in the incredible city of Naples, getting at the heart of art scene panorama of the city. The travels and nights are covered by AUB University.
