Choose our city residency and live and work in the historical center of Rome,
just a few blocks from the Roman forum, Pantheon or Colosseum.
Bramante’s Tempietto pictured here is just a stroll across the Tiber to
Trastevere.
Or opt for our countryside residency near the Lake of Bracciano and the
Medieval town of Anguillara. The house and studio in a tranquil garden
setting is just a half-hour walk from the train station where you can
catch a train into the center of Rome.
We
offer artist residencies for ceramic artists, visual artists and
writers for periods of 4 or 5 weeks. The residency periods can be
combined, but the residency cannot exceed 90 days (for non-EU
citizens). Both residencies conclude with a final group show in our Rome center gallery space.
To apply, please submit the following by e-mail to [email protected] by 1 March for summer 2017 residencies. We also consider applications on a rolling basis on the 1st of every month:
Somewhere near the border of Burma is a factory where they make roof
tiles. Fired in kilns as big as a house, these ceramic workers are
beautifully dressed while making the tiles.
“My work
is centered on my relationship to the natural environment. I believe
that what defines the wilderness is what we project upon it; that a
journey into this environment is also a journey within oneself. The
contrast found between using our external experience of solitary natural
settings to stem the discovery of internal meditations has become the
foundation for my recent work. I research ways in which visual elements
of contrast can symbolize dualities that exist within a larger context,
most notably in regards to an individual’s relationship to natural
landscapes. In creating contemplative vessels I seek to evoke opposing
feelings; intimacy and distance, movement and quiet, and roughness and
softness.”
