Exchange is a self guided fellowship which will support six emerging visual artists and two art writers explore and discover more about their practice through the central idea of Peer-Learning.
The fellows will work in pairs, build their own working schedules and engage in regular feedback and peer review sessions. The writing fellows will observe and work alongside the artists to produce text in any form including articles, essays and poems. During the three month period from May till July, the fellowship will facilitate studio visits, workshops, collective reflections and studio hours for thinking, planning and executing of ideas. The fellows will also participate in discursive sessions led by facilitators with specialized expertise and will receive monthly stipends to support their artistic developments. The program will conclude with a celebratory event including an exhibition of artworks and texts produced during the fellowship.
