INFRARED Art Residency focuses on issues related to the environment and aims to promote research and artistic development around it. INFRARED has been developed based on the nature of infrared light which is generally invisible to the human eye, but that can be felt as heat, and which can only be seen under certain conditions and with special equipment. In the same line of thought, the INFRARED Art Residency aspires to identify emerging environmental issues through art. Therefore, it includes all kinds of approaches to the purpose of residency beyond artistic development. In this way, INFRARED tries to create a public dialogue on environmental issues through the residences.
This program supports the process of developing a research or experimental idea, organizing a public talk/presentation and open approach to work through the open-studio format.
