matraresidencies
on invitation or by application, university reseachers and professional artists can use the matrabox for projects related to the research interests of matralab director Sandeep Bhagwati. These residencies typically are between 1 day and 1 month in duration. During longer residencies, the space is expected to be shared with other artists/researchers.
A residency can take different forms - access to the space only, access to space with some technical assistance, access to the space with research support, or full collaboration - according to project needs and availability. At this time, matralab does not have funding for artist stipends or cash expenses. All support will be in-kind only. Applications are accepted on an on-going basis and should include…
- A letter of intent (max 2 pages) should specify project needs, and why the matrabox.
- Project Description (max 3 pages)
- Examples of your work (digital)
