Artist to Artist International Scheme 2008

“I was very impressed with the Scheme which was such a refreshing experience compared to previous arts management experiences.  There was a sense of trust and respect when we were given the funding, and it was clear that Visiting Arts had confidence and belief in artists”.
Rita Duffy, 2007 participant  
 
Building on an initiative from Henry Moore Contemporary Projects in 2002, the Artist to Artist International Scheme provides an opportunity to bring together artists who are aware of each others’ practice and supports new dialogue across international borders.

Now in its fourth year, the scheme enables artists from the UK to invite artists from overseas for a week long visit. The format establishes a series of meetings between pairs of artists in order that they may have the opportunity to enter into a dialogue with one another and explore ideas on an open ended and informal basis, free from any obligation to produce a prescribed outcome.
 
We are pleased to announce the selected artists for this year's Scheme: 
 
- Freee Art Collective (represented by Mel Jordon in Sheffield)
  and Tone Olaf Nielsen   (Denmark)
- Liz Lock & Mishka Henner (Manchester) and Anupa Mehta (India)
- Eduardo Padilha (London) and Marco Paulo Rolla (Brazil)
- Zineb Sedira (London) and  Armina Menia (Algeria)

Participates will spend a week together in March 2008.  A focus day on the 7 March at the Royal College of Art, London, will enable participants to further explore their individual practice and their shared experiences of the week.
