Wishing to stimulate exchanges between France and Quebec, Fonderie Darling, MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain, isdaT – institut supérieur des arts et du design de Toulouse and Quartier Ephémère (Fonderie Darling, Gare de Matapédia) have joined forces to develop the Transatlantic residencies, a cross-residency program.

The program is divided into two parts, one dedicated to artists and the other to curators. Two early-career artists (DNSEP 2018 to 2023), one from MO.CO. Esba – École supérieure des beaux-arts de Montpellier, and the other from isdaT – institut supérieur des arts et du design de Toulouse, will benefit from a three-month creative residency including a stay at the Fonderie Darling, a visual arts center in Montreal, and a two-week visit to the Gaspé Peninsula, at the Gare de Matapédia – Pôle artistique et communautaire. The second part of the Transatlantic residencies program involves a curator from Quebec staying in France for a two-month research residency in Paris, Montpellier and Toulouse.

The Transatlantic residencies program offers emerging artists a unique working environment in which to focus exclusively on artistic research and experimentation, in the bilingual context of metropolitan Montreal and the Gaspé region.
 The two graduates of MO.CO. Esba and isdaT graduates benefit from a studio and accommodation during a two and a half month residency at the Fonderie Darling, plus a 15-day stay in the great natural spaces of the Gaspé (Matapedia). The Darling Foundry team has put in place a personalized promotion and networking program designed to optimize the adaptation and inclusion of artists in the Montreal cultural scene, while offering a convivial living and working environment. Numerous activities, such as public and professional meetings, studio visits and cultural excursions, are organized according to the artist’s interests throughout their stay.

Alumni exhibition

As a tertiary institution, the isdaT is a higher education establishment whose responsibilities go beyond the issuance of diplomas. It must be involved in social life, committed to the lifelong training of students, before and after graduation, as well as concerned about their future and the prospects of the training it offers. With this in mind, the isdaT has set up an exhibition for its graduates, with partner venues, in order to offer them visibility of their work to the general public and to expose them to the professional world.

• 2020-2021 alumni exhibition: Il faut qu’une porte soit ouverte ou fermée at the Pavillon Blanc in Colomiers and the art center Le Lait in Albi.
