I. Purpose
The aim of this regulation is to establish a selection committee (hereinafter referred to as "the Committee") composed of experts whose insights will guide the selection of candidates for the Türkiye Workshop at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. This artist residency enables international artists to develop research and creative projects in Paris over a temporary period of three or six months. The Türkiye Workshop (Room 8419, located on the 4th floor of the main building, approx. 40 m²) includes a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, a small storage area for materials, and a studio space, and can accommodate two people.
II. Responsibilities
- To evaluate musician applicants following the open call for the Cité Internationale des Arts, and to select those deemed eligible for participation.
- To attend regular committee meetings and provide feedback and recommendations regarding the programme.
- To offer suggestions on increasing the visibility and effectiveness of the Cité Internationale des Arts programme for Turkish artists.
III. Composition
- The committee comprises Yeşim Gürer Oymak, Rana Uludağ, and Ahmet Uluğ.
IV. Working Methods
- The Committee convenes at least once annually, either at the İKSV building or online. Meeting dates are set by İKSV in consultation with the committee. Additional meetings may be called if necessary.
- Committee members who miss two consecutive meetings without a valid excuse will have their membership terminated, and İKSV will appoint replacements.
- Each year in the second half, İKSV issues open calls for applications, detailing the submission requirements for the following year.
- The number of selected artists and the duration of their residency will be determined by İKSV according to the budget and scope for that period (typically four primary and two alternate artists).
- The committee makes its decisions by majority vote. Based on the application files, each member selects two main candidates (2 votes) and two alternates (1 votes). The four candidates with the highest total scores will be invited for interviews, during which they will be asked to provide more detailed information about their projects. At the end of the second round, one main and one alternate artist will be selected.
- Committee decisions become final upon approval by the İKSV Board of Directors. The Board may request additional meetings if needed.
- Only İKSV may communicate with the selected artists and make public announcements. Committee activities are confidential, and members are prohibited from sharing information, documents, or opinions about the deliberations with artists, third parties, or the public, as this would violate confidentiality.
- Committee members must adhere to data protection regulations and are responsible for avoiding data breaches. Upon the end of their term, members are required to return or destroy documents as needed.
- Unless otherwise decided by the İKSV Board, each temporarily appointed art professional on the committee (under article III) receives an honorarium of 15,000 TRY per calendar year for their contributions. Permanent members do not receive honorariums.
- Meeting agendas are prepared by İKSV and shared with members in advance.
V. Implementation
- This regulation, along with any amendments, comes into effect following the approval of the İKSV Board of Directors.
