[Oberlist] IT* TAOH residency for artists, anarchists, subvertors, activists (The Art Of Hospitality) in Sabini Mountains

[oberlist mailing list]

TAOH residency (The Art Of Hospitality) in Italy


An opportunity for art practitioners to spend up to 4 weeks in the Sabini
Mountains, Italy, at Ozu, a centre that promotes art and culture.

TAOH residency provides an alternative art space following two major aims:
a)	to promote underground art works by artists, anarchists, subvertors,
activists; you define it by what you do.
b)	to have an impact on the local territory and make experimental art
forms accessible to an audience that has no experience with contemporary
art.
Therefore we invite artists to work on a site- or context specific project
that has a relevance for the inhabitants of the area. This might be a
specific tradition, a site or it might simply imply the building of a
dialoge between artist and public. The work might be evidentially artistic
or it might be an ‘artivity’ that stimulates a process of social change in
its specific setting. The theme can be discussed and decided before the
artists arrival or it might be found once the artist has arrived and is
getting to know the local context.

A turquoise bunk bed was donated by Anne Marte Eidsed Rygh, project leader
of the TAOH Residency at Tou Scene in Stavanger. TAOH is a project
initiated by the artist group G.U.N Ladies from Oslo. They have donated
similar bunk beds in six other cities: Riga, Valencia, Stavanger,
Rotterdam, Åbo, and New York, creating like this a network between the
participating artist and the hosts. The bunked is now placed in a bedroom
within a living community consisting of artists and other art-related
professionals. It has access to toilets, bathrooms, a kitchen and there is
a scooter for your mobility. An artist lead group runs the TAOH residency.
There are different spaces available depending on your work. We will try
to meet your requirements but we advise you to bring the equipment you
need for your work.
For any necessity you will be allocated a contact person that will support
you.

TAOH is self-financed. There is no fee, but you are required to pay
25€/week which covers all meals and additional costs. Funding
opportunities are currently in negociation and we will inform you when we
discuss the possibility of your stay at Ozu.

There is no deadline. For application please send a CV, information about
your work and a brief, informal letter of motivation to
katharina.trabert(at)ozu.it.
