Talk by Harry de Vries and Emryn Ingram-Shute on NAS International Residencies: BSR and Cité

International residencies provide a unique opportunity to develop your practice and studies in a global centre of artistic excellence. This experience enables you to immerse yourself in a new arts context, market, community and culture. This Art Forum will feature recent recipients of two major NAS residencies: Emryn Ingram Shute (La Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris) and Harry de Vries (The British School in Rome). The three-month residency at La Cité Internationale des Arts offers a recent NAS Graduate or Academic staff member the opportunity for dedicated focus on their practice in the heart of Paris. There are four three-month residency periods on offer each calendar year. In partnership with over 130 French and international organisations, the Cité welcomes more than 300 artists each month from a wide range of disciplines. The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence, supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences. This annual residency offers a recent NAS MFA or DFA Graduate, or academic staff member, the opportunity to live and work in a catered en-suite studio for 3 months (generally April to June), as part of an international research community of artists, academics, fellows and staff. The British School at Rome was founded in 1901 and is just north of Rome’s historic centre in the Valle Giulia. Emryn Ingram-Shute (Cité Recipient) is an emerging sculptor who works across multiple disciplines. Considering her own affective reactions and vulnerabilities, she uses humour and play to address socio-political inequities with intuitive combinations of found objects and created forms. At its heart, her practice seeks to interrogate power structures embedded within objects to reveal how our relationship to materiality is not neutral but intimately layered. She has recently returned from the awarded Onslow Storrier NAS Cité des Arts residency in Paris. Represented by the Dominik Mersch Gallery, her works are held in private collections across Australia. Harry de Vries (BSR Recipient) is an artist and writer based on Gadigal and Wangal land in Sydney, Australia. His creative practice is situated in the tension between the material of daily life and simulacra: objects are brought into the studio and extended through processes of replication, casting, or reproduction, before being returned into the ‘real world’ as installations alongside found objects. The resulting work undermines the necessity of everyday life and generates a kind of ‘thin place’ where new ways of being in and seeing the world are possible. He holds a BFA and MFA from NAS. In 2021, he was awarded the Clitheroe Scholarship and the Brandon Trakman Prize, and in 2023, the British School at Rome Residency Award. In 2024, he was a co-director on the board 2024 of Schmick Contemporary, an artist-run initiative in Haymarket.
