Residencies - Public art - Forums - Publications - Videos
Committed to research in contemporary art, 3e Impérial combines a program of artist residencies with art production and presentation and contextualizes art in a meaningful way. This residency formula is an experimental platform to intregrate a wide range of innovative new practices into the geographical and social environment. In order to sustain reflection around these practices, the centre invites several authors for short-terms residencies. In addition, a number of committees made up by active members are essential elements for the centre's editorial process as well as for the conteptualization of projects and events. 3e Impérial produces festive forums, special projects, publications and videos both to document art as it is taking place and to participate in the development of critical discourse.

Artist's residencies include the production of public art projects which are documented and disseminated via cyberreports on our website, through texts written for our publications and by videos. Preceded by a one week research and development stay, these residencies usually last a month and include : residency fee / accomodation / assistance in finding sites; a visit to the local surroundings / support in making contact with local communities / private studio / technical help / unlimited access to a variety of production equipment / visual documentation / exhibition and reproduction fees.
