Bruxelles à l’infini

Artist residences have a dual purpose: firstly to enable the artist to have time to reflect on his/her work, and secondly to question the stage of development achieved by his/her artistic research. This exploration should never be in response to a commission, as projects developed as part of a residence should seek to continue to develop the artist’s own corpus and interests. In addition, the specific nature of the geographic context of the creative works (i.e. Brussels) is taken into account. Based on the fulfilment of these two conditions, resident photographers are encouraged to record memories of their time in residence. (…).  This series of residences has enabled a rough portrait of [Brussels] to be put together in order to get to know the city. This is not about quoting the city as the subject, but rather an acknowledgement of the city’s constant presence as a place in which people live and are creative, with its own artistic practices.
