The successful applicant will be notified by the end of January-first
week of February 2011.
The residency comprises:
- accommodation and basic living expenses in London
- materials/production budget
- a studio at Gasworks
- an artist's talk and Open Studio, or similar
public presentations, at Gasworks

speculatively with Gasworks' environments and London's wider artistic
and cultural context.
TrAIN
TrAIN (transnational art, identity and nation) is a Research Centre
based at Chelsea College of Art & Design, University of the Arts London.
TrAIN has collaborated annually with Gasworks since 2007 with the aim of
developing a research-based residency programme extending between the
studio and the art school.
Artists’ Brief, 2011
The residency focuses on the archives and special collections held at
Chelsea College of Art & Design Library. We are inviting an
international artist to: either : use these collections as one point of
departure for the development of new work; or : to create and deposit
their own ‘resident archive’ for future researchers at Chelsea College
of Art & Design Library (for examples, a collection of ephemera, a
project to be realised in the future, a set of clues for future
researchers or curators...).
The route into the Special Collections is not prescribed; its size and
complexity allows for diverse and unpredictable responses. Exposing the
processes and ideas of modern and contemporary artists, it invites
contemporary re-readings, re-activations and replies. The artist is not
required to have particular expertise or experience in working with
archives. The residency is process-led and open-ended. It is focused on
the development of a project rather than a finished product. All
Gasworks residencies culminate in an Open Studio exhibition. The TrAIN
Residency is open to emerging and mid-career artists from any country
outside of the UK.
