The apexart Residency Program hosts individuals
who generally reside outside of the U.S. for a one-month stay
in New York City. Up to eight individuals are invited per
season. Participants, from different disciplines and at different
points in their career, are recommended by noted individuals
(critics, museum professionals, artists, etc.) often from
their home country who are familiar with their activities
and believe their practice could benefit from a non-working
visit to New York. Each person taking part in the program
is invited to give a public presentation of some kind at apexart
in whatever format best suits their practice. Residents are
discouraged from production and are encouraged to meet with
the many individuals who live and work in NYC who have agreed
to be a part of the program.
We provide residents an apartment, airfare,
cell phone, computer with internet access, and an extensive
list of interesting contacts for them to meet with while they
are here. We specifically discourage a promotional orientation
to being here and ask the recommender to keep this in mind.
Our hope is that the time will be spent visiting, exchanging
ideas and taking advantage of New York City's cultural climate.
Two primary considerations for participation in our program
are that residents be over 30 years of age and have not
spent time in New York City. We attempt to have our residents experience
activities and individuals who are both relatable and
doing substantial work in an effort to inform their work rather
than promote it. We are trying to provide a more introspective
and academic alternative to the careerism and promotional
emphasis that sometimes exists in residency programs.
Sorry, applications are not accepted
for this program.
