LIVEstudio#3_open call

On the occasion of LIVEstudio, Metronom makes its exhibition spaces in Modena available to artists, photographers and video-makers – individuals or collectives – to be used as an atelier for one month. During the opening hours of Metronom, the artists will be free to exhibit their works and to organise meetings, studio visits, and other activities.

During the residency, the selected artists are invited to develop a research or a project, which can be a photographic work or a video, a curatorial project, or a photobook. They will also have the chance to start a new research together in total freedom.

At the end of the residency period, an exhibition LIVEstudio#3_display will show the newest pieces produced during the month. This show will run from March 1st to March 4th, 2017.

In addition, the shortlisted artists selected by the committee will have the chance to present their newest projects and research in a dedicated event at Galleria Civica in Modena.
