Each year, the Power Institute awards practicing artists, researchers, writers or curators with three- or six-month art residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Since 1997, more than seventy residencies have been awarded.
Every year, the Power Institute engages with and presents leading ideas in art and visual culture from Australia and around the world, through publications, collaborative research, and a vibrant program of talks, symposia and conferences. Alongside Power’s curated series and initiatives, however, is a dedication to partnering with Australia’s broader art history and artistic community. These efforts are framed under an initiative we’re calling ‘Powered by Power’, or P×P for short.
The initiative will extend the Foundation’s support towards ideas and projects being developed by a range of individuals and institutions across Australia, from new, university museums-led publications focused on Australian artists, to city-based festivals and the public presentation of new research. And our support comes in different forms: from financial grants, advice and administrative assistance, as well as help with distribution and communications.
With P×P, we aim to give an electric spark of support to important work already going on in Australia, and to illuminate such work within our broader global network of scholars, artists, and curators.
So, do you have a community project that’s partially funded and need an extra boost?
A publication on an Australian artist that deserves a wider audience?
Or maybe you need support to get an event off the ground?
Pitch us your project, and we’ll see what we can do to amp it up.
The Schaeffer Fine Arts Library is one of the leading art libraries in Australia. It is known for the academic quality and breadth of its holdings, which incorporate the Power Research Collection and the Power Visual Resources Collection. Housed within the RC Mills Building on the University of Sydney campus, and supported by the Power Institute, this specialist reference-only library is open on weekdays to students and the public.
Our first 2017 Cité resident, Ben Ferris, a filmmaker, just returned from Paris where he had an opportunity to immerse himself in a creative environment, meet and collaborate with artists from around the world, and produce his new film. This is his reflection on his experience.
