The Artists for Artists Residency Network<\/strong>, a two-year project (2023-2024), aims to improve the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators, while creating greater opportunities for women in the arts.<\/strong> The project takes place in four European partner countries – Romania, Germany, Croatia and Austria. The project focuses on the development of new international exchanges and transcultural dialogue and provides a number of new opportunities for art practitioners of all ages, in different artistic media, with a special emphasis on women in art and gender equality. The result of the project will be increased awareness of the importance of cultural mobility at local legislative levels, but also in the general public, especially in the current (post)crisis European context, strengthening EU affiliation and connection with contemporary visual art.<\/p>\n

The project includes: 12 artist residencies<\/strong> in Zagreb (HR), Mulhouse (FR), Bucharest (RO) and in S\u0103cel, Maramure\u0219 (RO), 4 curatorial residencies<\/strong> in Zagreb and Bucharest, 12 conferences<\/strong> in Zagreb, Bucharest and Vienna and 1 traveling international exhibition<\/strong> , which will first be shown to the public in Zagreb (HR), and then in Vienna (AT) and Bucharest (RO).<\/p>\n

The first resident of the AFAR project is Eve Woods, curator<\/strong> and producer of the Pallas Project in Dublin, who also works as a visual artist.<\/p>\n

She has led on the Artist-Initiated Projects since 2019, and special projects including; curating \u2018Dubliners Reel\u2019 at the 6th Biennial of Painting, Zagreb 2021; Ark Life workshop programme & exhibition with artist Celina Muldoon funded by the Arts Council Commission Award 2021; Irish Art Now: Contemporary Art Auction in support of PP\/S 2019; Nasty Women Dublin 2017; & PP\/S 20 Year Benefit Auction 2016.<\/p>\n

She has also worked as Visiting Lecturer \u2013 Strategies for publicising cultural events \u2013 Dun Laoghaire Institute Of Art Design + Technology, 2021; Producer at Science Gallery Dublin
\n(SGD) where she represented SGD at EXPERIMENTA, la Biennale Arts Sciences 2020 as part of the European Artificial Intelligence Lab; and Green on Red Gallery Dublin where she assisted at international art fairs including VOLTA NY, 2017.<\/p>\n

Eve Woods\u2019 practice is concerned with the deep structure of social phenomena. This practice is focused especially in relation to femality, anxiety (as a society) and the internet. Overarching themes of information; it\u2019s perversion and uses in a hyper-connected world, animalism and ethics bleed through these overlapping spheres of interest. Important to these thought patterns and especially evident in the aesthetics of the work is the focus on ideas of myth, urban legend and pseudoscience.<\/p>\n

As part of the residency, Eve Woods gets to know the Croatian art scene with the aim of international connections<\/strong> and inviting Croatian artists to Ireland, and the residency will include visits to studios and exhibitions<\/strong> and her lecture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb<\/strong> on January 15 at 7 p.m.<\/strong> As part of the lecture, a conversation with Luja \u0160imunovi\u0107, an assistant from the Department of Art History, The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, who has been active on the cultural scene as an independent curator since 2015, is planned.<\/p>\n

The project takes place in four European partner countries – Romania, Germany, Croatia and Austria. The consortium consists of the project leader (ARAC) – Bucharest, Romania and 3 partners: Goethe Institute network, Croatian Association of Fine Artists – Zagreb, Croatia and K\u00fcnstlerhaus – Vienna, Austria. An additional associated strategic partner of the project is La Kunsthalle Mulhouse which is also the Center d’Art Contemporain d’Int\u00e9r\u00eat National de la Ville de Mulhouse, located in a former industrial building it shares with the University of Haute-Alsace, the city archives and the Ateliers P\u00e9dagogiques d’Arts Plastiques.<\/em><\/p>\n
