Ariadna Guiteras is the artist selected by the panel of experts to enjoy the Gasworks Residency 2019 with the collaboration of AC/E. This Residency is an opportunity that will enable her to undertake a fully-funded residency at Gasworks in London from 1 April to 17 June 2019. Gasworks’ residencies are opportunities for self-led professional development, artistic exchange and experimentation.
Ariadna Guiteras' practice takes performance as the starting point to speculate about bodies, the relationships that bring them into being, the shared knowledges that permeates them and the way in which these knowledges are transmitted. For some time now, she has been working with the renaissance idea of “the porous body” in present tense, that is, bodies that are vulnerably open and always in-relation-to, be it the environment, petroleum, soil, capital flows, data, solar energy or potato starch.
OPEN CALL
Application Deadline: Tuesday 20 November 2018
Previous applicants who were not selected for a residency are encouraged to reapply.
The Residency Comprises:
- 24-hour access to a fully accessible studio at Gasworks, alongside other visiting artists and Gasworks’ permanent studio holders.
- An Open Studio, or similar public presentations, at Gasworks
- Single room accommodation within Gasworks Residencies House (a 3-story house, shared with 3 other artists-in-residence)
- Basic living expenses in London (£150 p/week)
- Economy return flights from the artist’s home city to London
- Travel card (zones 1+2) for unlimited travel within central London for the duration of the residency
- Administrative, pastoral and curatorial support from Gasworks (during office hours)
Selection and Eligibility:
The residency is open to contemporary visual artists working in all disciplines, though one must note Gasworks’ restricted facilities. Aspiring artists producing high-quality work who have not had the opportunity to work in London before will be prioritised. Applicants should have at least a moderate level of spoken English and should feel comfortable engaging in artistic discussions in English. It is important that all applicants research Gasworks thoroughly before submitting their application so as to be fully aware of the context which they would, if successful, be entering.
The selected artist should be able to engage discursively and speculatively with Gasworks' environment and London's wider artistic and cultural context. With this in mind, applicants should submit a project proposal within their application, outlining their specific research interests and intentions for the residency. Those who fail to submit a considered proposal that is specific to this residency and the London context will be disqualified.
Selection Process
The artist will be selected on the basis of their application. Gasworks will establish a selection panel to ensure a wide perspective on and in-depth knowledge of the contemporary art scene in the UK and Spain. It will include representatives from Gasworks as well as external advisors. The successful artist only will be notified by Friday 7 December 2018.
Application Procedure
We accept digital applications only. Please use the online application form at the bottom of the relevant opportunity page on Gasworks’ website, here.
Your application should include the following in ONE PDF file only:
1. An artist's statement describing your practice and areas of interest (up to 250 words)
2. A minimum of 10 images of recent work, with captions and a short description if necessary.
3. A CV/Resume
4. A simple statement outlining your plans, if you were to be offered the residency, which could include a short description of a research project specific to the context of London or your residency at Gasworks (up to 250 words).

5. Any relevant documentation (e.g. articles or papers about work, exhibitions, publications, etc)
