'ace [Palimpsest Project] Mural Painting Residency
Public Art & Proposals
- Submission Deadline: Ongoing
- Award Info: 7 working days +opening of the mural to the public, 12 days stay in the city.
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Drawing, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting
- Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Noun ‘pa-ləm(p)-sest, pə-ˈlim(p)-: a very old document on which the original writing has been erased and replaced with new writing. Something that has changed over time and shows evidence of that change.
Palimpsesto is a project in constant mutation, in which artists are encouraged to superimpose their murals or interlace them with the previous ones, achieving a new awakening of what was already on the wall. More than an individual work, the murals express the superposition of many hands, residences and artists. These actions are considered a way to embrace and, at the same time, demystify the work of the other.
These residences are aimed to career or emerging visual artists, with a special interest in muralism and / or urban art. Groups of up to 2 members can apply together to work collaboratively. In addition, in these residences there is the possibility of working collectively collaborating with other residents or local artists, as well as carrying out additional projects in mural festivals or in public spaces in the City of Buenos Aires.
The Palimpsest Project is a mural painting residency conceived as a “work in progress”. Recovering palimpsest word original meaning, our terrace becomes a living organism in which the artists paint their murals by dialoguing, intervening or overlapping with the previous ones.

STUDIO PRACTICE Over the course of 6 months, accepted artists work towards the beginning and refining a series of works centered around a topic, style, and idea of their choosing. The bi-monthly virtual group sessions allow students to pitch and bounce ideas, as well as share groupings of works as they evolve. II. CURRICULUM: LECTURES AND STUDIO VISITS The Masterclass uses a series of prompts, videos, and assignments designed to guide artists in developing their work in their own voice. Using excerpts from studio visits with many well-known artists (including Lari Pittman, Rosson Crow, Rebecca Campbell, Annie Lapin, Chris Trueman, Enrique Martinez Celaya, and more), participating artists expand their own vocabulary of how to arrive at new ideas. III. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Creating a body of work also requires attention to how it is communicated to future collectors, gallerists, museum directors, and curators. As the work starts to develop, the curriculum and assignments guide artists in communicating what their work is about through writing, a catalog, the artist’s digital portrait (website, social etc) and film. IV. COMMUNITY & CRITIQUES During live sessions, fireside chats, and unique live events, curators, artists, and writers offer invaluable insight into participating artists’ work. All participating artists have access to a private positive and exclusively art-based online community where they can share work and news about their career and discuss exhibitions, articles, studio visits, and anything else. Requirements and submission: Please submit your application via Callforentry.org. Once the interview process is complete, applicants will be informed whether or not they have been accepted into the workshop. As this class is virtual, participants will need internet access for the course content and Zoom for class meetings. Tuition does not cover art supplies, studio space, or any other ancillary materials for the course. First Person Artist First Person Artist, founded by artist Kimberly Brooks, is devoted to advancing artists' practices with a rich recorded curriculum, along with live sessions and exposure to working artists today.

Could dreams and nightmares be the potent driving force behind our creative processes, the mysterious catalysts igniting the flame of artistic inspiration?
A significant number of artists affirm this belief wholeheartedly.
Some find their deepest inspirations enveloped in the essence of dreams, immersing themselves in a blissful trance of creation. This state transcends mere aspiration, becoming a surreal canvas where possibilities bloom endlessly, a place where the mind wanders, seeking the sublime, the ethereal, fostering an insatiable quest to reach heights previously unimagined, somehow, somewhere.
On the flip side, many others journey through the chilling domains of nightmares, a voyage marked by relentless internal conflicts and cold sweats that pierce the stillness of the night.
These artists find themselves wrestling with the darker fragments of their psyche, exploring into corners where fears manifest and insecurities gnaw persistently. It's a place where conflict brews, giving birth to creations steeped in raw, unfiltered emotion, art that doesn't shy away from exposing the tumultuous storms raging within. It serves as both an exploration and an exorcism of the deep-seated darkness that resides in the corners of the human spirit. Here, the beauty arises from the conflict, the chaos, offering a catharsis that is both profound and unsettling.
“I know, I’ve been there, I am still.”
This exhibition aims to unearth the profound connections between the subconscious dream world and the pulsating, sometimes harrowing heartbeat of artistic creation, offering a sanctuary for reflection, resonance, and perhaps, revelation.

SOMA Summer is an intensive three-week academic program in Mexico for artistic inquiry that welcomes a cohort of international artists, curators, critics, and art historians interested in collaborative pedagogical models. Each SOMA Summer is organized around a different theme that provides a compelling conceptual framework for research and creative work.
In its 2024 edition, SOMA Summer will be structured after Argentinean decolonial philosopher Enrique Dussel's subject-subject relation categories to deal with entanglement as our object of study.
In its 2024 edition, and with the academic support of Taniel Morales (artist, Mexico City), Vivian Abenshushan (artist, Mexico City), and Yoshua Okón (artist, Mexico City), along with a group of renowned Mexican and international artists and curators.
Entanglements
And what if skin was the center of our body and not its limit?
We are plural beings, entities constituted as part of an intricate biological-cultural-somatic system. The world we live in was here before we arrived. Each object, each concept, each event already had a history of its own. The labor involved in their becoming is not ours to claim. We are nothing but bonds, relations to other people; to plants and animals; to microorganisms; to the biosphere as a whole. Those bonds are the seeds that allow our thoughts, thoughts, and feelings to flourish. Complex causal chains bind us to the planet as a whole. Individual creation is a fiction: nothing is invented from scratch. All creations are collective. Gutenberg's printing press would have been impossible without Chinese technologies, without wine presses, without migrations, without minerals and grapevines. How can we live and create under that assumption?
Led by Taniel Morales (artist, Mexico City), Vivian Abenshushan (artist, Mexico City), and Yoshua Okón (artist, Mexico City), SOMA Summer 2024 will follow the methods of Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy. In this edition, participants will acquire and share knowledge through facilitated workshops and participatory sessions. This pedagogical approach is meant to counter the prevailing individualism and reductionist worldviews. Centering the program on different intersections between individuals, authorship, disciplines, knowledge, territories, and worldviews will enable the creation of exquisite irreplaceable hybrids.

Bethany Arts Community (BAC) offers residencies to emerging and established artists for the development of both new works and works-in-progress. BAC welcomes artists working across any discipline and medium, including visual artists, sculptors, writers, playwrights, choreographers, musicians, composers, performance artists, filmmakers, and more to our Fall Multidisciplinary Residency. Any and all artistic mediums are encouraged to apply. Enjoy an environment where artists from different disciplines and walks of life can work in community and near each other, creating opportunities for generative collaboration and cross-pollination.
Residents will be surrounded by uninhibited creativity during their time at BAC, in the form of other Multidisciplinary Residents, local studio artists, BAC staff and board members, those presenting programs on campus, and more!
A unique component of residencies at BAC is Community Programming. As part of a residency, we ask each artist to develop and facilitate a Community Program related to their residency plan. This part of the residency is an opportunity for artists to engage with the local community in Ossining and Westchester County, and for the local community to engage with artists through their work.
The Fall Multidisciplinary Residency runs for two sessions, September 23 to October 7 and October 18 to November 4, each with its own cohort. Artists are provided room & board, a private studio conducive to artists’ medium and/or project, 3 basic meals a day*, and a $225 stipend per week upon completion of the residency. Artist is responsible for transportation to and from BAC and any supplies or materials needed for their practice. We ask that you only apply if you can stay for the entire length of this residency.
*Please note for the 3 meals included during the residency, Bethany Arts Community is only able to accommodate for vegan, plant-based, vegetarian, dairy-free, and/or gluten-free diets. We are currently unable to accommodate severe allergies (celiac's disease, tree nut allergy, peanut allergy, etc.) and other commonly-used ingredient allergies (garlic, allium allergy, etc). Please contact [email protected] with any questions or help making arrangements if you have an allergy.
