The floating residency = research & creation
La Maison Flottante is a habitable flat-bottomed boat, an emblematic work by the architects Denis Daversin and Jean-Marie Finot and by the designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, it is a venue moored in Poses, Normandy. An ideal place for artist residencies and encounters, it represents an ideal working space for associate, creative and territorial artist residencies. The Maison Flottante can also accommodate audiences who are involved in projects and/or wish to take part in regular meetings and presentations. The Maison Flottante also welcomes projects from local residents and communities, in a reciprocal exchange of mutual aid, community living and programming.
Artists invited for research and creation residencies at the Maison Flottante are part of the program of exhibitions and events organized by cneai = in Île-de-France, and carry out specific events in Poses, in conjunction with local partners. They work on their personal projects and are invited to organize a public event -conference, performance, studio opening, or other, depending on the artist-, planned in advance of the residency and leading to specific remuneration.
Ismaïl Bahri will spend one month at the Maison Flottante in October 2024.
