Interregional cross-residencies between Est-Nord-Est and Centre d’art et de diffusion CLARK

Est-Nord-Est and Centre d’art et de diffusion CLARK have joined forces to develop a program of interregional cross-residencies. The organizations invite cultural workers (authors, curators, researchers) from Chaudière-Appalaches/Bas-Saint-Laurent and Montreal regions to propose research-creation projects with a one-month (31-day) timeline that can be subdivided into up to two periods (2 weeks) over the course of a year, in line with the values of Est-Nord-Est and CLARK: adapting to one’s availability and needs, according to personal and professional realities.

 

Through this program, Est-Nord-Est and Centre CLARK aim to: 

 

  • Support cultural workers by providing them with a flexible residency context and appropriate resources for research-creation.
  • Promote cultural workers’ practices: writing, publishing, research projects, curating, etc.
  • Develop new networks for research-creation, production and dissemination between Chaudière-Appalaches/Bas-Saint-Laurent regions and Montreal.

It is divided into several physical and virtual spaces with diverse functions. The two main components of the Centre are the gallery, which comprises two rooms within which exhibitions are presented. The Centre also comprises a Poste audio, through which five sound art pieces are broadcasted each year, the Librairie CLARK, which offers publication launches and readings, and a residency studio.
