Solène Charton
Born in 1996 in Nogent-sur-Marne, a city near Paris, Solène Charton graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d'art of Bourges in 2020. Her work explores electronic elsewheres, those other places accessible through technical media and especially the internet.
By operating conceptual and aesthetic comings and goings, on both sides of media screens, her work questions the dialectic between "virtual space" and "real space". This semantic frontier becomes porous as the artist addresses the political aspects of the internet, considered as a social and militant space.
The different artworks then appear as many interrelated narratives of an "augmented reality", where the structural social characteristics of the real are intertwined in the strange ubiquity of mediality. For the artist, science fiction serves as an essential speculative link between these ecological, social, and militant reflections.

Irina made her dance education in Moscow and Hamburg, graduated from Moscow State Lomonosov University (Faculty of Philology), and received a Master's degree in Choreography at Hochschulübergreifendes Zentrum Tanz Berlin (HZT). As a dancer, she worked with choreographers Xavier le Roy, Angela Guerreiro, Soodong Jung, Jessica Nupen, Halla Olafsdottir, etc. Since 2008 she has been developing her own choreographic projects and works as a dance artist worldwide.

OPEN CALL/ Creation Residency
YET TO .COM(E)
Calling for artists based in Argentina, Iran, USA, France, Switzerland, and Germany. Open to all artistic disciplines that wish to engage in a virtual residency.
YET TO .COM(E) invites six interdisciplinary artists to collaborate in artistic dialogue and practice with another artist. The program establishes three distinctive virtual residency incubators where two artists can live, brainstorm, and dream about a common future through their unique artistic lenses.
In this current pandemic, we are left with a tension of global and local concerns. The present feels dystopian. The future is unknown. As such, YET TO .COM(E) believes that sharing a virtual creation space is needed to transgress individual isolation. In spite of all the challenges we face today, YET TO .COM(E) seeks to break down artistic barriers by playfully and experimentally engaging in the digital sphere.
YET TO .COM(E) is made possible by the international partners, Espace Croisé (FR), LODO (ARG), Work it Out (CH/DE), and Re-Connect Online Performance Festival (Internet). All four partners are engaged in digital and physical performance activities. Their curatorial practice is shaped by working in proximity over distance: fostering a sharing of resources as well as collectively devising intercultural and interdisciplinary methods for participatory interventions.
Each artist is applying with an individual proposal for the virtual residency (-> see information below). Based on this proposal, interviews will be held with the first round of pre-selected artists. Next, the curatorial partners will select six artists to be coupled up in three collaboration teams based on their field of practice and artistic motivation in the virtual residency. Each team will collaborate on a mutual proposal.
Terms and Conditions
-
700 euros are given to each of the six selected artists as compensation.
-
The residencies take place between January 2021 - April 2021 (time frame agreed upon availability and need of the collaboration teams).
-
The coupled artists will be provided with adequate virtual resources to facilitate the exchange and mentoring by the partners during the process of the virtual residency.
-
The coupled artists are expected to meet virtually on a regular basis.
-
During the creation process, the partners will make the artists’ work available to the public in different virtual formats (e.g. insights, interventions, interviews, and broadcasted studio visits).
-
Each residency will lead to an outcome. The form of the outcome is generated by the individual discipline of the two artists, their common project, and the partners (e.g. online performance project, installation, live lecture-performance, etc.).
-
All four partners will strive to feature, promote, and distribute the artists’ projects at different possible levels (e.g. online festivals, extended residencies, and virtual/physical exhibitions).
-
So far it is confirmed that all the outcomes will be directly introduced to:
-
Re-Connect Online Performance Festival, April 2021
-
Lodo Festival, 2021
-
Espace Croisé, activities 2021
