ABSTRACT

The chapter describes how artistic intervention residency thereby redefined a new space and practice of a studio in the firm. It therefore offers something new to two bodies of literature by examining four artistic intervention residencies in a company to see how artists create and use studio space there, and to discover new possibilities for curatorial constellations. Artists' residencies in non-artistic organizations offer the opportunity to make new choices about their studio practice. Renaud was the only artist who arrived with a specific idea for an artwork to be created during the residency. He combined research and production in his studio in the firm as he studied the glittering lights of Paris each night and experimented with different ways of eliminating them from view, one by one. Anne Couzon Cesca and twin brothers Arnaud and Francois Bernus formed the Collectif 1.0.3 straight after graduating from art school, eight years before starting their artistic intervention residency at Eurogroup Consulting.
