For its third edition, the Magnetic program has selected artist Emilia Beatriz for a residency at Villa Arson and Violaine Barrois for a residency at Cove Park.<\/p>\n\n

Initiated by Fluxus Art Projects<\/a>, Magnetic brings together 10 residency locations in France and the United Kingdom. Currently associated with Cove Park<\/a> in Scotland as part of a tandem partnership, Villa Arson has been part of the program since its creation in 2022 by the Institut fran\u00e7ais du Royaume-Uni<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

Emilia Beatriz<\/h3>\n\n

Emilia Beatriz<\/a> is a Puerto Rican diaspora artist based in Glasgow whose multidisciplinary practice is developed from sensory narratives composed of still and moving images, texts, immersive installations, and performances. They are co-founder of Collective Text, a collective whose actions aim to support accessibility in art and cinema. <\/p>\n\n

During their residency at Villa Arson in February\/March 2025, Emilia Beatriz will deepen their practice of sensory storytelling by creating new characters for speculative narratives about grief, resistance, and loss.<\/p>\n\n

Violaine Barrois<\/h3>\n\n

Violaine Barrois<\/a> is a French visual artist whose practice explores the relationship between humans and landscape as a lived and transformative experience. Working in Marseille, she explores how landscapes shape our identities, practices, and implicit knowledge, while revealing the importance of emotional value.<\/p>\n\n

During her residency at Cove Park from October 28 to December 20, 2024, Violaine Barrois will focus on redefining the sensory relationship with coastal landscapes in an approach rooted in local cultural and ecological narratives. <\/p>\n\n
