What is the India-India Residency 2008?
Since its beginnings, bar1 has emphasised the importance of an artist exchange within India, since large distances separate the largely urban centres where artists work and no long-distance exchange of views can match the intensity of a personal experience of the arts scene and the cultural life of a city.
As a pilot project in this direction, worked out together with IFA, bar1 organised the India-India Residency from July to September 2008. The Residency hosted 7 artists, of which 6 were each resident for 6 weeks and one for 3 months.
A nation-wide call went out inviting applications from artists working in all imaginable traditional as well as unconventional fields of art, with all imaginable media, and addressing any of the human senses. We got 44 applications.
