Artist Residency La Becque Located on an exceptional site on the shores of Lake Geneva in La Tour-de-Peilz, midway between Vevey and Montreux, the artist residency La Becque was developed under the conduct of the Fondation Françoise Siegfried-Meier. From spring 2019, it will start welcoming artists from all over the world, both up-and-coming and confirmed practitioners, active in potentially all artistic disciplines, cultivating classical as well as the most contemporary forms of expression. In addition to its principal program, La Becque will also partner up with collectivities both international and Swiss and collaborate with them to develop specific, tailor-made residency programs. Among others, La Becque will devise residency programs with the art schools (visual arts, design, performing arts) of the Swiss HES-SO network to foster the development of post-graduation excellence. All programs will dedicate particular attention to projects exploring the notions of nature and of technology – two notions which are more than ever intertwined and at the core of contemporary preoccupations.
