*If travelling is not possible within the specified period due to restrictions on international mobility arising from the Covid-19 health crisis, the residence dates may be modified, to be ended before 31st March, 2021. Alternatively, the artist and the collaborating institutions could agree on other non-on site formats that allow the selected project to be developed anyway. Such formats would include online access to resources, follow-up sessions and tutorials offered by the Hangar team and labs, as well as training programs, public activities and presentations, etc.

The selected artists commit to making a presentation of the results of their residency in Madrid and one in Barcelona, as part of some of the public activities that each hosting centre offers.

Taking part in this competition implies acceptance of the rules and the jury’s decision as well as any changes that may subsequently occur as a result of factors beyond the centre's control.

1. Artists will be selected through a public call shared by Hangar and the Casa de Velázquez, which will be disseminated through the communication channels of both institutions.

2. The call will be launched at the beginning of June and will remain open until June 30th, 2020.

3. Applicants may submit their dossiers filling a form managed by Casa de Velázquez and linked to the calls for applications published by both institutions.

4. A joint jury made up of a member of the Casa de Velázquez, a representative of the Institut Français, the management and a member of the AAVC-Hangar Programs Committee will be in charge of the selection. The decision will be reached at the beginning of July 2020.

The following points will be valued:
 

• How interesting the proposal is to fit in with each of the residency centres lines of work.
• The project’s ability to solve the topic it raises.
• A realistic evaluation of the time and adequacy of the aims of the project to the context and resources of the participating centres.

All artists interested in this call should fill in the following application form and include:
 

1. Personal data
2. CV
3. Project description
4. Work plan
5. Samples of previous work
6. Spanish census certificate (for artists travelling to Casa de Velázquez).
