The artists were chosen from a Europe-wide open submission for the new A Curriculum Artist Residency at A Foundation in Liverpool, taking place between 8th March and 2nd May 2010. The residents will be provided with studio space within A Foundation Liverpool’s Blade Factory. Assisting their studio time will be a programme of discussions and tutorials from a wide variety of art professionals who are active as artists, gallerists, collectors, commissioners or curators.
The residency will give the participants the opportunity to discuss the varied ways in which artists sustain their practice, building a detailed picture of the artist within the wider professional context. A Curriculum offers the resident artists insights into how the various facets of the art world interrelate, while simultaneously providing a space for the dynamic production of new work.
