Call for applications: ADAGP & Bétonsalon – Center for Art and Research Grant

ADAGP & Bétonsalon, 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 MNAM-CCI.

This grant, amounting to 20 000 euros, aims to accom­pany an artist in the devel­op­ment of a research, during 3 months, on prob­lem­atics related to rep­re­sen­ta­tion, pro­duc­tion and dis­sem­i­na­tion of images, based on the Marc Vaux Archive and on aca­demic research con­ducted on this archive. This research can be part of the field of art (rereading of art his­tory, exploring unknown and marginal­ized life jour­neys, reflecting on the actual pro­duc­tion of images...) but also in the wider field of the pro­duc­tion of images in a world sat­u­rated with infor­ma­tion (polit­ical, eco¬­nomic, sci­en­tific, jour­nal­istic…).
The 20,000 euros of this grant are intended for cov­ering the artist’s fees (5 000€), their pro­duc­tion budget (10 000€), the costs of sup­porting their pro­ject (5 000€) and (if nec­es­sary) their accom­mo¬­da­tion costs in Paris.

Initiated in 2017, 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.

The former lau­re­ates were franck lei­bovici (2017), Liv Schulman (2018) and Euridice Zaituna Kala (2019).

This call is open to artists living or working in France.
The appli­ca­tion must be sent before May 2, 2021.

Created in 1953, ADAGP is the French roy­alty col­lecting and dis­tri­bu­tion society in the field of graphic and visual arts.
Supported by a global net­work of almost 50 sister com­pa­nies, it cur­rently rep­re­sents more than 110 000 artists in all dis­ci­plines of visual arts: painting, sculpting, pho­tog­raphy, archi­tec­ture, design, comic strips, manga, illus­trating, street art, dig­ital cre­ation, video art and so on.
ADAGP man­ages all the prop­erty rights held by artists (resale right, repro­duc­tion right, right of public com­mu­ni­ca­tion, col­lec­tive rights), for all modes of use: books, media, adver­tising, mer­chan­dise, auc­tions, gallery sales, tele­vi­sion, video on demand, web­sites, user sharing plat­forms and so on.
Thanks to its rich, diverse cat­a­logue, it is now one of the biggest col­lecting soci­eties in the world.

About Marc Vaux Archive at Bibliothèque Kandinsky

A former car­penter who took up pho­tog­raphy after being injured in the First World War, Marc Vaux began in the 1920s to carry his pho­to­graphic chamber around the var­ious artist stu­dios of Montparnasse and Paris. By the early 1970s he had pro­duced over 127 000 pho­tographs. The study of this col­lec­tion, which is now housed at the Centre Pompidou and whose dig­i­ti­za­tion has just been com­pleted, makes it pos­sible to draw up a por­trait of Paris as a cre­ative centre with a hybrid and transna­tional lan­guage, nour­ished by indi­vidual his­to­ries or polit­ical and artistic com­mit­ments too often blended into the lin­earity of the offi­cial nar­ra­tives of a homoge­nous moder­nity.
The fund can be con­sulted on the web­site Archives et doc­u­men­ta­tion of the Centre Pompidou.
