The residence

This residence call is aimed at a video artist who will have to propose a work of original creation associating contemporary creation with XIXth and XIXth c. art history.

Located 30 km away from one another, both institutions live at different paces, which will be an integral part of this residence project, and – why not ? -may also be part of the artist’s questioning.

• a meeting open to the public, where the artist-in-residence will present his/her work in progress at Domaine du Tournefou and/or at Camille Claudel museum ;
• a meeting and presentation of realised work for the agents and partners of Camille Claudel museum ;

The stucture Tournefou Domain

Particularly dedicated to the fields of reasearch and creation, initiator of a new form of artistic and cultural development, the Tournefou Domain has a vocation to be a home of confidence for artists who came to experiment an artistic presence in rural territory.

The Tournefou, being a pluridisciplinary place of production and exhibitions, also allows the artist possibilities to meet with the population, the environment, places of art and culture and partners of the Tournefou’s program.

The Domaine du Tournefou is a place, inhabited and managed by a permanent team, comprising artists and artistic conselors who consider the concern about the individual and human communities as being at the heart of their actions. It is a place of diffusion and artistic education, as well as a place of encounters and exchanges.

In accordance with our artist-in-residence mission, spaces and times are conceived to offer you the best conditions for a work of creation, while dedicating other periods of time to discoveries and transmission, a balance which represents three commitment creteria : silence, relationship, confidence.
