RESIDENCY

The residency period is from one to six months, during which time residents may focus on, but are not limited to, the following areas:  

 

1. Research projects  

2. Curatorial program

3. Video art archive development 

4. Fundraising development / Non-profit management   

 

With the opportunity to join our broad network of artists, curators, academics and researchers who are working in the media art field and to use our resources, residents are expected to develop a project to be completed by 2017— not necessarily within the period of residency— and to participate in further activities such as seminars, public discussions, performances and exhibitions. Residents are also encouraged to participate in public events including workshops, demonstrations of research-in-progress, and online releases.

 

DETAILS

Resources available from Videotage: 

- Media resources (video art archive, library) 

- Network (artists, curators, academics, art institutions, universities, galleries, festivals etc.)

- Production resources (i.e. projectors, cameras, TVs, computers etc.) 

- Venue/space for exhibition and art making 

- A stipend to support project execution (depending on the scale of the project, amount will be confirmed upon acceptance of proposals)   

 

International residents are responsible for their own travel, accommodation, living and moving expenses. Videotage staff will assist as much as possible with visa arrangement and locating cheaper accommodation in Hong Kong. Residents can have a work desk in our office and make use of our gallery space, the floor plan of which can be found here. Residents will have access to the space during office hours and other times upon request. 

 

Videotage will provide project-specific technical assistance to residents though residents are expected to possess the skills necessary to execute their projects. Collaborative projects are eligible for the residency program.

 

A CV and work samples have to be provided for each collaborator, as well as the proposed project. Collaborators can share the residency stipend.
