thankyouforcoming

The selection process of the laureate of this 8th season of ACROSS residencies has demonstrated - once again in the 8 years of the programme's existence - the dynamism, quality and commitment of the critical and curatorial scenes around the world.

It is both a joy and an honour to witness such vitality, and to contribute in our own way to its continuation.

After having consulted all the applications received with great interest and attention, we can agree that the jury wished to temper the adage (formulas impoverish thought, don't they!) according to which "to choose is to forsake": in the end, two laureates will each benefit from three weeks of residency in Nice and on the Côte d'Azur, in April/May, then May/June 2023.

Thank you to all those who send us their applications!
