></span>Cittadellarte-Fondazione Pistoletto</b></a> are pleased to
announce an open call for participation in the first two seasons of
residency modules in the programme<b> Neither on Land not at Sea.
Meeting by the Mediterranean Im/Possible</b><i>,</i> curated by UNIDEE
Visiting Curator<b> Chiara Cartuccia</b>.<br>
</div>
<div>Neither on Land nor at Sea invites to meander around unreducible
complications and on shifting grounds, to explore together ways in
which geography is historically, socially, and politically produced.
The project pluralises Mediterranean concepts/spaces as sites of
worldmaking and experimentation in communal living. To do so, it
adopts un-grounded geographies and colliding historicities as meeting
places, in which to congregate to elaborate on the role played by
situated practices and shared processes in the promotion of social
transformations, towards epistemic justice.<br>
</div>
<div>The UNIDEE modules are programme-based week-long residency
formats. Participating residents will be offered the opportunity to
expand on their ongoing research and practice exploring Mediterranean
complexities and geographical thinking in the arts and beyond, within
a group of peers and invited guests. The spring & summer modules
are curated by UNIDEE Visiting Curator with invited mentors:
interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker<b> Noor Abed</b>, critical
spatial practitioners<b> FRAUD (Audrey Samson & Francisco
Gallardo)</b>, and artist, researcher and educator<b> Alessandra
Ferrini</b>. For more information about the context and scopes of the
project, please read the full curatorial framework <a

<div><b>Programme</b><br>
The first leg of the <a

"https://email.e-flux-systems.com/campaigns/vz4007kysjaa8/track-url/rj476aj0679d5/b192922bb49e66591356f1432bb6e3d763dddbdb"><b><span
></span>Neither on Land nor at Sea residency modules</b></a> is
articulated in two seasons, a spring season, taking place in May, and
a summer season, taking place in June. The exact dates of the modules
are as follows:<b> Spring season</b> module I: May 13-19.<b> Summer
season</b> module II: June 5-11 / module III: June 10-16.<br>
</div>
<div>Invited mentors in each module are: Noor Abed (spring season,
Module I), FRAUD (summer season, Module II) and Alessandra Ferrini
(summer season, Module III). More guests in each module will be
announced soon.<br>
</div>
<div>The programme of each module will employ different working
formats that foster collaboration and exchange, including workshops,
reading sessions, talks, screenings, collective interventions and
exercise (indoors and outdoors), one-on-one mentoring, according to
the specific approach proposed by each mentor and to the needs of the
group.<br>
</div>
<div>Neither on Land nor at Sea is curatorially conceived as an
organic project, which articulates across the single residency modules
and an accompanying public programme over the duration of a biennium.
The modules are interlinked, and each contributes to shaping the
discourse developed by the project as a whole. Residents will be asked
to leave a "trace" of their participation behind. This can take
different forms-from a commented bibliographic reference to a visual
fragment, in video, photo, drawing etc., a sound recording, a written
note, or a shared toolkit. The material thus collected will be made
accessible to future and past residents, both in the physical spaces
of UNIDEE and online, through the Neither of Land nor at Sea digital
platform. The residency programme's working language is
English.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>Participants</b><br>
We aim to invite a group of up to eight residents to take part in each
module. The programme is open to international participants of all
backgrounds, whose practice sits anywhere across the broad spectrum of
visual practice and research, with no restriction regarding
disciplines, media or methodologies of work. Applications from
artists, curators, writers, theorists, activists, all are welcome and
encouraged.<br>
</div>
<div>The selection of participants will be based on the affinity of
the subject matters, concerns and questions participating in the
applicant's work with those expressed by the curatorial framework of
the project, as well as on the applicant interest and ability to
contribute to a programme-based residency whose working is grounded in
processes of active exchange and participation.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Practicalities</b><br>
The residency modules will take place at Cittadellarte-Fondazione
Pistoletto, in Biella, Italy. The UNIDEE and Cittadellarte spaces will
host a large part of the programme, while further opportunities for
exploring the urban and rural landscape of Biella and its immediate
surroundings will be offered.<br>
</div>
<div>Participants will be accommodated within the premises of
Cittadellarte, in single rooms with the use of shared bathrooms. The
residential spaces offer basic cooking facilities and communal resting
areas. Participants arrival is expected by the afternoon of the day
prior to the beginning of the module, departure is expected by the
afternoon of the day following the end of the module.<br>
</div>
<div>We are committed to meeting to the best of our ability any
accessibility requirements an attendee may have; this will be
discussed individually with prospective residents.<br>
</div>
<div><b>Expenses & bursaries</b><br>
Participation in the spring & summer modules is offered<b> free of
charge</b>, and the residents will be provided with<b> free
accommodation at Cittadellarte</b>. Residents will be required to
