On Tuesday, October 20, ¡Viva Villa! network will take over the Gaîté Lyrique in Paris for a day dedicated to contemporary art. ¡Viva Villa! is a network of French artist-in-residence programs abroad, founded in 2016 by the Casa de Velázquez (Madrid), the Villa Kujoyama (Kyoto), and the Villa Medici (Rome), with the Villa Albertine (United States) joining in 2023.
This fourth edition will bring together nearly forty artists: following residencies in Italy, Spain, Japan, and the United States—as well as, for the first time, in Saudi Arabia, India, and France—they will offer a sneak peek at their work, their research, and the works in progress that have emerged from these experiences.
Throughout the day, workshops, meetings, screenings, performances, and concerts invite us to discover the richness and diversity of contemporary artistic practices, at the intersection of disciplines, regions, and imaginations.
A unique opportunity to meet the people shaping today’s creative scene and explore the many forms that the artist-in-residence experience can take.
