ADAGP - Villa Vassilieff Grant

ADAGP & Villa Vassilieff, sharing common voca­tions - working closely with artists, high­lighting visual her­itages and art his­tory - co-cre­ated a research pro­gram that aims at devel­oping the work of an artist on the cir­cu­la­tion and repro­duc­tion of images, in rela­tion to the research on the Marc Vaux archive led with Centre Pompidou.
This research grant will enable artists to under­take the pro­duc­tion of new works in a con­text favor­able to the dis­sem­i­na­tion of knowl­edge. This pro­gram is con­ceived as an artistic research plat­form ded­i­cated to the exper­i­men­ta­tion of non-linear models of knowl­edge pro­duc­tion and dis­tri­bu­tion between researchers, con­tem­po­rary artists, asso­ci­a­tions, cul­tural insti­tu­tions and the gen­eral public.

This research can be part of the field of art (rereading of art his­tory, exploring unknown and marginal­ized life jour­neys, reflecting on the actual pro­duc­tion of images...) but also in the wider field of the pro­duc­tion of images in a world sat­u­rated with infor­ma­tion (polit­ical, eco­nomic, sci­en­tific, jour­nal­istic...). The 20,000 euros of this grant are intended for cov­ering the artist’s fees, their pro­duc­tion budget, the costs of sup­porting their pro­ject and (if nec­es­sary) their accom­mo­da­tion costs in Paris.
