Following the success of the very first edition of Villa Albertine\u2019s maritime residencies in 2023\/2024, the MARIUS will successively host three artists or writers in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the outbound journey, the MARIUS will travel from Le Havre, France to Papeete and Noum\u00e9a in the Pacific, passing through the United States (New York), Jamaica (Kingston), and the Panama Canal over the course of five weeks. On the return journey, the ship will travel from Papeete and Noum\u00e9a back to Le Havre via Australia, New Zealand, Panama, the United States (Philadelphia), and the northern ports of Europe, in seven weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open from October 2 to November 12, 2024, the call for applications is for creators from all disciplines who wish to undertake an exploratory residency, as part of the crew of the MARIUS between March and October 2025. This maritime residency is open to creators from mainland France and French overseas territories as well as artists residing in the United States. The operational management of the maritime residencies is provided by MARFRET, while the artistic direction is overseen by Villa Albertine; the modalities for sharing the experience will be discussed with the Mus\u00e9e national de la Marine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conditions of Staying Aboard the MARIUS<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe immersion can last several days or weeks, depending on the preferences expressed by the resident. The maximum duration of the residency is six weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of their application, candidates will be asked to identify navigation segments in accordance with the container ship’s sailing routes, ranking them in order of preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two to three days prior to boarding, candidates will be invited to a MARFRET agency on land, in France or the United States, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the maritime transport sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This residency format has specific constraints that all candidates should read carefully (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support from Villa Albertine and MARFRET<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nVilla Albertine and Marfret will jointly cover the following costs related to the residency:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Port stay \u2013<\/strong> A two – three night stay will be organized for the resident at one of the ports of call on the voyage. During this stay, the resident will discover the daily operations, work, and logistics involved at a port. The resident\u2019s transport, accommodations, and meals will be covered during this stay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- On-board stay \u2013<\/strong> On-board living costs will be covered (including accommodation in an individual cabin with a private bathroom, meals, and appropriate clothing on loan).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Inland travel and stays directly before and after the on-board residency, with the following costs are covered:<\/strong>
- Inland travel to ports, where necessary;Accommodation at arrival and\/or departure, depending on the voyage segment in question, and for a maximum duration of 3 to 7 days; Daily allowance for trips to the United States or Polynesia to cover living costs in the territory in question (including meals, telephone and bank charges, etc.), as well as visa fees; Health, civil liability, and repatriation insurance.<\/li><\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
For example, a resident completing an on-board residency between Le Havre and New York would have the following costs covered: transport from their place of residence to the port of Le Havre, accommodation and meals in Le Havre during the two-day port stay in preparation for their residency, their stay aboard the Marius<\/em> following boarding at Le Havre, their stay in New York for several days upon arrival, and return transport to their usual place of residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNeither Villa Albertine nor Marfret shall cover any expenses other than the travel and living costs mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The resident must comply with each country\u2019s customs obligations upon any and all disembarkations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IMPORTANT: If the resident is disembarking in the United States, an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) will not be sufficient. The resident must complete the necessary procedures to obtain a B1 or B1\/B2 visa. Villa Albertine will provide the supporting documents needed to complete a visa application file. Alternatively, an ESTA will be sufficient if the resident is boarding in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Facing-the-sea_17-1-1024x732.jpg\")

Application Materials<\/u><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nApplicants must submit an application file including the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- (A) Applicant information form<\/strong>, which may be downloaded via this link<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- (B) An overview of the applicant\u2019s career and work in<\/strong> a PDF file, limited to 10 pages and 8 MB (e.g., a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and summary of a small selection of completed projects). This document will be used to evaluate the applicant\u2019s artistry and work and must provide proof of them practicing their creative or intellectual activity on a professional basis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- (C) An overview of the proposed project for the on-board residency<\/strong> in a PDF file, limited to three pages \u2013 The project may either be new or the continuation of an existing project. It must be fully compatible with the residency format and include an element of creative reflection on the world of maritime transport and seafaring. A presentation, which may be simple in format, must be provided at the end of the project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- (D) An explanation of the applicant\u2019s aptitude for completing a residency on board the Marius<\/em><\/strong>, in a PDF file, limited to 1 page. The applicant should explain the reasons why they consider themselves suitable for a residency on board the Marius<\/em>. This is an experience that requires, in particular, excellent physical health (due to the absence of a doctor on board during crossings, and the need to climb several flights of stairs multiple times each day), strong interpersonal skills (given the isolation from the outside world, and the restricted, regimented social environment), and potential previous sea travel experience (as the sea may become rough during certain crossings, especially in the winter months).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- (E) The segment(s) of the voyage on which the applicant wishes to travel,<\/strong> indicated in the relevant form available here<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

In the video, the applicant should present themselves and their project without reading from a prepared text. This video should be uploaded as \u201cunlisted\u201d on a platform such as YouTube or Vimeo, available to view only by those who have the required link. If the applicant decides to protect their video with a password, this should also be indicated in the relevant PDF document.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
