China ResidenciesI: project space and The Neighbourhood are calling for DJs, VJs, producers, artists, and performers to work in Beijing for a fully-funded two month residency in February & March 2018, in the ever-growing and increasingly idiosyncratic nightclub and electronic music communities in Beijing and China. 

中国艺术交流,I: project space 和 The Neighbourhood 合作举办的以夜生活为主题的全资助性驻留项目正在向各DJ,制作人,艺术家和演员等征集申请函。项目将于2018年2月至3月于北京进行。不限国籍,年龄,性别,才能和兴趣。获选者将在北京及其他城市不断增多并且极具特色的夜店和电子音乐社区中汲取灵感。


✨ this new nightlife residency is

a safe space for unsafe ideas 

此次夜生活驻留项目是不安全理念的安全之所


"You see the untapped potential of nightclubs as spaces in need of deeper consideration; you agree that the relationship between nightlife and contemporary art has not yet been fruitfully explored. As a producer or DJ, you extend what you do into the visual realm; and/or the visual art that you make is tied up with electronic music and nightclubs." 

“你关注夜店尚未被开发的潜力和空间深层次思考的需求;你认为夜生活与当代艺术之间的关系尚未有成效的探索。作为制作人或者DJ,你尝试把所做的工作延展到视觉领域;或者你创作的视觉艺术与电子音乐或者夜店紧密相连。”

China Residencies, I: project space and The Neighbourhood will connect the resident with key protagonists who are leading the discourses on and fusion of visual art & nightclub culture. During the residency, there will be opportunities to perform, exhibit and experiment with the local scene.

中国艺术交流, I: project space 及 The Neighbourhood 将为获选者介绍当地引领视觉艺术,夜店文化的负责人。驻留期间获选者将有机会在当地表演,展示和实验。

 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ FAQ !!! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

  • ✨ When’s the deadline? ✨
  • Friday, December 15th at midnight in your timezone. 

  • ✨ Can I submit late? ✨
  • We’d really rather not! If your application is late, we can’t guarantee that the jury will have time to review it.

  • ✨Who’s on the jury? ✨
  • Anna Eschbach & Antonie Angerer from I: project space 
  • Lhaga Koondhor aka Asian Eyez &  Tom Mouna, The Neighborhood 
  • Kira Simon-Kennedy & Josue Chavez from China Residencies
  • Josh Feola, musician, writer & editor from Radii China & Pangbianr 
  • Sun Huiyan, artist and club manager from Oil Shenzhen & Double Fly Art Centre

  • ✨ Can I put in a good word for my friends? ✨
  • We’re against nepotism, so, in short, no. We can check to see if we received their application, but we read proposals anonymously for the first round, so trying to influence our jury members won’t really work. 

  • ✨ Do you have any general tips for how to apply? ✨
  • Read this 10 step guide on Applying For Things for starts!

  • ✨ When will the residency be announced? ✨
  • We’ll publish a list of finalists by December 28th and announce the chosen resident in early January. [We received 440 applications, so although we originally planned to have the finalists by December 21st, the jury needs a little more time to review everyone's proposals.]

  • ✨ Will you give feedback if we don’t get it? ✨
  • Yes! It might take us a while, but we promise we’ll answer any *specific* questions you have.

  • ✨ I don’t have a credit card but I’d still like to contribute the suggested application fee. ✨
  • You can donate via PayPal or Bitcoin too! Thanks so much for supporting us so we can keep providing opportunities like this :)

  • ✨ Will you reimburse the suggested donation application fee if I’m not chosen? ✨
  • No, all the fees go towards funding travel for this residency, and we really appreciate all your contributions, we couldn’t do this without you. Also, the donations are tax-deductible if you live in the US!

  • ✨ I’m not free in February & March - will you be doing this again? ✨
  • We hope so! If enough people are interested (and if we can find generous sponsors!), we’d love to do this more often.
