Artist in Residence

Research Exchange Artists in Residence Programme

MAP opened its annual residency program for 2024 at Sutton House on the edge of the Residential Red Zone in Ōtautahi Christchurch. This residency offered 2 artists the resources to go deeply into their own practice and research while also outward reaching through a framework of activities.

The two selected artists Ella Rerekura and Merinda Davies resided at Sutton House during 16th Jan – 25th Feb 2024 with Research Performances taking place in February and embodiments/aspects of their work taking part in the MAP Resides exhibition at CoCA – Centre of Contemporary Art Toi Moroki in May 2024.
Applications now closed!

This year’s programme:

focuses on provocations towards Speculative Futures. Artists are invited to respond to questions such as – but not limited to:

Which worlds would you design/erase/construct/destroy/form/reform/perform/deform?
Through what other relationships with time could we move?
What if past, present and future met and/or collapsed?
Which ways your practice could move us beyond what currently exists into the realms of what could be?

In the modes of practice, we invite artists to engage with:

Time-based works that challenge the conventions of form
Consider the possibility of Site Responsiveness, acknowledging the interferences the territory creates in their experience in residence as well as their interferences onto the territory.
Be open to Collaborative Contamination whereby the artists in residence work on their own projects while being affected – and affecting – each other’s works in unprescribed ways of collaboration.

The Research Exchange Residency gives artists:

the time and space to focus solely on their art, without the distractions of their usual environment;
the chance to relate differently within a location, being exposed to a new community, techniques, materials;
an occasion to build long-lasting relationships with other creative individuals;
convenience to experiment with new approaches to their work;
opportunities to showcase their work to a wider audience.

Selected artists work in-studio for 6 weeks, present a workshop and research presentation to the public, as well as either contribute a piece of writing to The Map publication or create a web page detailing aspects of their work.

Less Sermon More Song
A Live Encounter with my Archive

“I left feeling really grateful to have reconnected with my relationship to embodied practice. Someone once said that we are reborn every day and the old version of us dies every day. I felt the constant cycling of death and transformation of identity and of my relationship with movement/dance throughout the residency, and that was incredible. Invaluable. Incomprehensible.”

“The residency has been invaluable. My admiration for the professional and social skills, the focus and flexibility, the authentic and human qualities with which MAP helped us navigate this strange (and strangely productive) month. I know there were many involved in making all this possible - a very big thanks to them!

MAP - the work you do there is a HUGE asset to Christchurch and for the wider Dance Community.”

“I was really impressed by the generosity, curiosity, critical acumen, creativity and care that went into this project. It is rare to encounter such a valuable engagement with artistic practice, and in these complicated times this strikes me as even more crucial, as it is vital to invent new forms for taking care of the conditions of thinking and working together!”
