Call for entries | Martine Franck Curatorial Research Grant

Selected upon application by a jury of five professionals from the worlds of research and curatorial practice, the recipient of the Martine Franck Curatorial Research Grant receives an allocation of €7,000 to curate an exhibition at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson and  conceive a publication.

The recipient also benefits from facilitated access to the Foundation’s archives, research support and mentoring for curatorial work.

At the end of the research year, the exhibition is presented to the public at Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in “the Tube” (80 m2). The book is published in collaboration with a publishing house. 

The grant is intended to cover research and curatorial work, the production of material for the exhibition and the book, supervision of the book’s production, as well as any travel and accommodation expenses.

The Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson is responsible for the exhibition’s production costs and, in partnership with a publisher, for the catalog’s publication costs.
