1. THE RESIDENCY IN HELSINKI
..................................................Photographic Gallery Hippolyte / Union of Artist Photographers: www.hippolyte.fi
HIAP – Helsinki International Artist-in-Residence Program: www.hiap.fi
One residency is available for two months in Helsinki from 16 March to 15 May 2011. During the residency there is an opportunity to exhibit work in Hippolyte Studio in April 2011 (or at another date to be agreed separately), as well as an opportunity to develop a discursive event in collaboration with Hippolyte.
The Hippolyte Studio is a space in conjunction with the main gallery of Photographic Gallery Hippolyte. Hippolyte Studio offers a possibility for artists and visitors alike to study processes situated on the borders of the expressions of photographic art and other expressions of visual art. We want to offer a possibility for experimentation as well as quick reaction. Hippolyte Studio is in connection to the gallery’s office in the room facing the yard. The small space consists of three wall surfaces 210 cm, 460 cm and 220 cm. The office is separated from the space by a bookshelf. For a plan please see: http://www.hippolyte.fi/studio/pohjakuva.pdf
To get an idea of the space see also: http://www.youtube.com/user/junitoi#p/u/1/wt_PAgylH9IThe residency at the HIAP guest apartment / Suomenlinna
The HIAP guest apartment occupies approx. 30 sqm of floor space and can house up to two persons at a time. The apartment includes a private bathroom, cooking area, and broadband Internet connection. There is no separate working space in the guest apartment. The apartment is located at HIAP’s Palmstierna Studio House at Suomenlinna. The Suomenlinna studio complex is a two-storey red brick barracks building originally from the 18th century renovated to meet contemporary standards. The complex comprises of nine residential units: five artists' studios and four guest apartments
Since the beginning of 2009 HIAP is coordinating the international residency activities at the Palmstierna studio complex on the historical fortress island of Suomenlinna in Helsinki. A Unesco World Heritage -site, Suomenlinna is a unique combination of diverse cultural activities, maritime environment and layers of history spanning over 250 years. Yet it is only a 15-minute ferry ride from the heart of the city.
HIAP – Helsinki International Artist-in-residence Programme is the largest international residency centre in Finland and the only one operating in the capital. The program is focused primarily on the visual arts and is open to artists from various disciplines. Residencies are also offered for curators, dancers, choreographers, writers and researchers within several special programs. Every year between 15-20 art professionals from around the world are offered a working period of 1-3 months in the programme. The programme is developed in close collaboration with a network of art specialists and cultural organisations in Finland and abroad.
