Our residences

Takashi Shallow

A transdisciplinary artist based in Chicago, Takashi Shallow explores social dynamics through an artistic practice that blends music, video, performance, and design. His work has been presented at Links Hall, Elastic Arts, and Homeroom Chicago, as well as at the Chicago International Film Festival.

Each year, Villa Albertine hosts research and exploratory residencies designed to inspire creation and strengthen collaborations between France and the United States. In 2026, Villa Albertine is launching a new partnership with the Fondation Fiminco to provide, at the conclusion of these residencies, a privileged space for creation in support of artistic collaborations emerging from creative stays in the United States.

Each year, this initiative will support a Franco-American artistic collaboration arising from a Villa Albertine residency by offering a former resident the opportunity to host an American partner within the studios and exhibition spaces of the Fondation Fiminco—a resource center dedicated to artists from around the world, located on the outskirts of Paris. The duo will also receive a €5,000 grant.
