ADAGP Research Grant
The ADAGP & Villa Vassilieff Grant
ADAGP & Villa Vassilieff, sharing common vocations - working closely with artists, highlighting visual heritages and art history - co-created a research program that aims at developing the work of an artist on the circulation and reproduction of images, in relation to the research on the Marc Vaux archive led with Centre Pompidou.
This research grant will enable artists to undertake the production of new works in a context favorable to the dissemination of knowledge. This program is conceived as an artistic research platform dedicated to the experimentation of non-linear models of knowledge production and distribution between researchers, contemporary artists, associations, cultural institutions and the general public.
2017 Laureate : franck leibovici
The first artist to benefit from this research grant is franck leibovici (France) who will develop over several months a research program around the question of exhibitionary devices. He will notably organize a semi-public seminar involving researchers, artists, theoreticians, scientists and exhibition curators. From that he will collect a set of display devices used today in contemporary art as well as in other disciplinary fields - social sciences, international criminal law, etc. These exchanges will be the subject of a book and a public report, scheduled for the first weekend of February 2018.
