[ENGLISH VERSION BELOW]

En su quinto año, la Shelagh Wakely Residency permitirá a un artista con residencia en América Central (Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua y Panamá) realizar una residencia con todos los gastos cubiertos en Gasworks, Londres, del 1 de abril al 17 de junio de 2019. Shelagh Wakely (1932-2011), fue una artista británica cuya práctica experimental combinaba artes visuales, escultura, diseño y arquitectura. Wakely viajó mucho por Sudamérica, especialmente Brasil, y su estancia en Londres se convirtió en un punto de encuentro para artistas brasileños y latinoamericanos. The Elephant Trust administra el legado de Shelagh Wakely, y la Shelagh Wakely Residency se creó en asociación con Gasworks para proporcionar a un artista emergente de América Latina la oportunidad de hacer una residencia de tres meses en Londres.

El plazo límite para postular es el 30 de octubre de 2018.

In its fifth year, the Shelagh Wakely Residency will enable an artist based in Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama) to undertake a fully-funded residency at Gasworks, from April 1st to June 17^th, 2019. Shelagh Wakely (1932 – 2011), was a British artist whose experimental practice combined visual art, sculpture and design with architecture. Wakely travelled widely in South-America, with special interest in Brazil, and her residence in London became a meeting point for Brazilian and Latin American artists. The Elephant Trust administers the Shelagh Wakely Bequest, and the Shelagh Wakely Residency was created in partnership with Gasworks to provide an emerging artist from Latin America with a three-month residency opportunity in London. Gasworks’ residencies are opportunities for self-led professional development, artistic exchange and experimentation.

The residency comprises:

– 24-hour access to a fully accessible studio at Gasworks, alongside other visiting artists and Gasworks’ permanent studio holders.

– An Open Studio, or similar public presentations, at Gasworks

– Single room accommodation within Gasworks Residencies House (a 3-story house, shared with 3 other artists-in-residence)

– Basic living expenses in London (£150 p/week)

– Economy return flights from the artist’s home city to London

– Travel card (zones 1+2) for unlimited travel within central London for the duration of the residency

– Administrative, pastoral and curatorial support from Gasworks (during office hours)

3. A CV/Resume
4. A simple statement outlining your plans, if you were to be offered the residency, which should include a short description of an intended research project responding to the themes of the Working Practices project synopsis and a brief description of your proposal (up to 500 words). This proposal does not have to be definitive and can change during the course of the residency, but should indicate the direction, scale and relevance of your ideas.
