Number of Participants

The Darling Foundry, in partnership with the Indian organisations What About Art? and Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation, as well as with the Canadian organizations Tata Steel Minerals and the South Asian Visual Arts Centre, renews for the seventh successive year its India Residency program, offering the opportunity to one Indian artists under the age of 35 to conduct a two month creation residency in Montreal. Strengthening the links established since 2012 between Canada and India, the India Residency at the Darling Foundry allows artists, local and international communities to share their respectives visions, and contribute to a dynamic cultural exchange. Immersed in Montreal’s vibrant artistic scene, the artist in residence has the opportunity to take a critical look at the local cultural context, while in return promoting artistic practices that are under-represented in North America.

Program Description

Hosted for two months in the former industrial complex of the Darling Foundry, the artists have a live-in studio of about 60m2, furnished with a kitchen. They have access to common spaces shared with the other artists of the Darling Foundry, including a large kitchen, a laundry room, bathrooms, a living-room, and production facilities wich are outfitted to work with wood, metal, ceramics and CNC cutting. The team of the Darling Foundry sets up a networking program to facilitate interactions between the residents and local and international art professionals, while the close vicinity of the nine Montreal-based artists who have a studio in the building contributes to a smooth inclusion into the Montreal art scene. Many events, public and professional meetings, studio visits and cultural excursions are organized according to the interest of the artists throughout their stay.
