  • Open Call – Résidence de recherche à Dos Mares
  • Open Call
    Ukrainian Institute + Dos Mares

    The EXTER programme is based on collaboration with leading contemporary art residencies in the countries of the Ukrainian Institute’s activity. Programme partners are organisations and institutions that are well integrated in professional community, have the experience and infrastructure to meet the residents’ needs as well as an extensive network of local contacts.

    Striving for a balance of self-directed work and curated programming, each individual residency is jointly developed by Ukrainian Institute, partner organisation and the resident based on the latter’s professional needs, local context, and institutional framework. EXTER programme is designed to actively engage participants with the cultural scene of the cities of residency, provide opportunities for networking and public presentation of their practice to foreign audiences.

    Art residencies create opportunities for international mobility of people, ideas, experience, and practices; for framing one’s artistic practice in different cultural contexts; and facilitate cooperation of professionals globally. EXTER residents are culture ambassadors that represent the current art landscape of Ukraine abroad.

    In 2020, Ukrainian Institute announces an open call for artists, curators, critics, and scholars from Ukraine to participate in individual residency in Dos Mares, Marseille.
