Singapore Art Museum (SAM)’s international residency programme invites artists, curators, educators, advocates, performance makers and other practitioners from any medium or discipline to apply for its second cycle, focusing on notions of “postindustrialism,” “critical alliances” and/or the possibilities of a transformed future. The 2023 cycle of SAM Residencies will run between July 2023 and December 2024.
Housed at SAM’s new premises in an industrial and expansive warehouse at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, SAM Residencies emphasises social interaction and engagement. Conceived as an incubator for new approaches to artistic and curatorial practice, the first cycle began in October 2021 and has welcomed over 20 residents from across the globe. The aim of SAM Residencies is to support practitioners throughout their creative process, offer a platform for professional and artistic development, as well as network building. Residents will also be encouraged to involve communities and the public in different ways, through presentations and programmes such as talks, workshops and field activities.
