Open Call Deadline: March 15th, 2018 h. 24.00 (GMT +1). CLOSED

In Between Shores is a 23 days long artist residency, open to photographers of any age and nationality.

Five national and international artists will be selected and invited to create new work in the surroundings of Varese (Italy). The selected artists will stay at Cascina Ronco (Daverio, VA), in a wooden house in the woods surrounding the municipality of Daverio, where they will be provided with the materials necessary to develop their projects. The residency will result in an exhibition hosted by Tommaso Parrillo in Jest (Turin). The residency has no theme - the invited artists will be free to proceed with their artistic production, supported by the association. 



Ardesia Projects will cover food, accommodation, local transport, materials and production of the final exhibition.  It will not cover the costs of travel to and from Milan.

IN BETWEEN SHORES 2018 
SELECTED ARTISTS 



FIONA FILIPIDIS

Fiona Filipidis (b. 1990, Paris) is a Franco-British artist based in London whose practice is born out of collection, research and empathic response, dealing with ideas of intimacy, loss, and memory. She received her MA in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography from London College of Communication. Her work has been shown both nationally and internationally, including in Paris, Rome and New York City. 

PIERGIORGIO SORGETTI

Piergiorgio Sorgetti (1988) is an Italian artist living in Bologna. He approaches images as a form of research where he studies the "material memory of forms that are in constant mutation", a process he calls "psychic archaeology" where images are confronted with the rhythm of dreams. His approach is to look at the interaction between natural and cultural elements and assemble rhythms in which the photographic image begins to unravel, confuse and deny its original meaning.

GINEVRA SHAY 

Ginevra Shay is an artist based in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States.
They are the 2019 Mollie Ruprecht Visiting Artist at the University of Vermont and a 2018 Maryland Individual Artist Award Recipient for Photography. Their work has been featured in print in GUP Magazine

RÓISÍN WHITE

Róisín White is a visual artist based in Dublin, working primarily with photography, while incorporating drawing, sculpture, and collage into her practice. Róisín holds a BA(hons) in Photography from DIT, and certificates in Ceramics and Sculpture from NCAD.
Róisín’s work draws from archival materials and seeks to create a dialogue with our forgotten histories through the use of found photography and ephemera. She has an interest in exploring lore and the fictional narrative that can be discovered in discarded imagery, previous understandings agitated, and new meanings drawn out. Roisin’s sculptural work brings her photographic work into the three-dimensional and builds on means of photographic reception.
