Art Enclosures

Residencies for visiting international artists in Venice



2011

The winners are Victoria Samuel Udondian and Tamlyn Philippa Young

http://www.fondazionedivenezia.org/artenclosures

Created, promoted and implemented by the Fondazione di Venezia, the project Art Enclosures - Confini d'Arte - Residencies for International Artists in Venice, aims to promote and enhance the talent and work of young emerging African artists, giving them both visibility and opportunity to show their works in an exhibition and to see them printed in a volume coming out at the end of the residency project.

Launched in 2008 and covering a four-years period, the project will select and host in Venice a total of 10 emerging artists under 40, who will live a 3 months residency period in groups of two.

The Fondazione di Venezia is very active in the field of cultural heritage conservation and enhancement and strongly believes in the importance of intercultural dialogue between different worlds and realities. Through this project, it aims to foster young talents and encourage artistic creativity within their own territory.

The artists-in-residence will have the opportunity to take part in activities aimed to promote their awareness of our cultural heritage, to interact with young Italian and foreign artists and to enhance their professional and artistic figures. At the end of the residency term, each artist will produce one visual art creation within his/her own artistic area, which will be presented at an end-of-residency exhibition intended to improve artist's value and which will be published in a catalogue coming out at the end of the first year of activity.

Concerning the 2011 edition, after the selection of 5 candidates coming from South Africa, Cameroun and Nigeria, two of them succeeded in winning this competition.

The winners are Victoria Samuel Udondian and Tamlyn Philippa Young.

Victoria Samuel Udondian comes from Nigeria, a nation in which fine-art instruction and training have always played an important role. She developed her artistic talent within her country and produced works of art inspired by social themes such as culture, environment history and politics.

Tamlyn Philippa Young studied at Cape Town Stellenbosh Academy, South Africa. She is mainly a multimedia artist who has a great interest in disciplines related to anthropology and ethnography. Both artists are arriving in Venice in June to start the first two months of activity in residence. There will be a pause in August and September so they will finish the three months experience in October with a final exhibition showing the works created during this period.
