FRAPOTEL 2 – IN RESIDENCY

This second issue explores the history of on-site artist residencies, their approaches, and their work. It examines architectural residencies throughout history, as well as those of the Charles Abella Prize, organized in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts and supported by the Association.
The contributions in this issue offer a variety of perspectives and experiences: an interview by art historian Frédéric Prot with Dominique Perrault and Gaëlle Lauriot-Prévost; a text by Emmanuel Bérard on the design and layout of the residencies at the Domaine de Frapotel; an account by Galaad van Daele, the first resident at the Domaine; as well as a reflection by Benjamin Lafore, Sébastien Martinez-Barat, and Emmanuelle Chiappone-Piriou, co-curators of the Prize and the exhibition Émulations – Architecture Competition of the Academy of Fine Arts – Charles Abella Prize, who revisit the history of the residences and highlight the projects of the young architects who won the competition.
