The Dunkerque Grand Littoral Urban Community and its partners are launching a call for applications for a «soft and sustainable» mission residence for artists from all fields of artistic expression.
What is the principle behind this call for applications?
He is wanted for a residence-mission that will be deployed in the territory of the urban community of Dunkerque Grand Littoral, a professional artist of all areas of artistic expressionand whose research and approach are deliberately included in the contemporary creation.
The artist will commit to:
- to imagine with the inhabitants a future more respectful of the environment and the territory and to put it in story by artistic gestures co-constructed;
- to create spaces of reflection conducive to the sensitive experimentation of the environment allowing the inhabitants to rediscover the territory, to identify existing or future vulnerabilities and to create the desire to act for a more responsible and poetic relationship in life;
- and thus strengthen the attachment of the inhabitants to their territory.
The idea of “taking the time” will be important: taking the time to walk, dream, observe and slow down in order to nourish your senses and imagination.
On the form, the artist will be required to promote a process of reuse of materials. He will also be committed to promoting “doing himself”. The purchase of equipment for its projects must be done in resourcing centres or “second-hand” locations.
The artist will also favour a gentle mobility on the territory (free buses, bicycles, etc.) and organize his schedule so as to use the car as little as possible.
