Following the principles of theFoundation, an NGO whose activities are based on ecosophical knowledge, this Artist Residency Program is conceived as an interchange platform between the artists-in-residency projects and the different practices that take place in the Foundation’s house, the city and the region. Mainly, the kind of practices that establish relationships with the environment based on sensitivity towards the planet, the protection of life, human freedoms and respect for individual differences.
This program is aimed at both artists (in a wide sense: from visual to performing arts, from music to writing) and cultural managers or agents interested in putting forward artistic projects aligned with discourses of ecological and social sustainability and, in general terms, with the knowledge and practices related to the values and objectives encouraged by Casa de Mono.

This residency calls for creatives or collectives to design and develop a concept or reimagined work that responds to Art Gene’s physical spaces within the Nan Tait Centre – their studios, gallery, production areas (see below for more information on the Nan Tait Centre). They’re particularly interested in proposals that explore innovative, critical or imaginative ways to use or activate Art Gene’s indoor spaces – for example, by approaching new ways to host artist residencies, host workshops, or engage the wider community. This could be in the form of a structure such as an eco-pod, a project or intervention that sits within or outside of the building.
