<p> </p>
<p><strong>La SIRA</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>La SIRA is MAD Agency's headquarters in France from which the artists (a total of 16) produce the majority of their work. La SIRA opened in 2010 in an old 40,000sqft printing house just north of Paris, in Asnières-Sur-Seine. Both a production and a conceptual space, La SIRA over three floors is divided into different production, exhibition, performance and meeting areas</p>

<p><strong>'434'</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The '434' is MAD Agency's second project space after La SIRA. Set in Taroudant, southern Morocco, in the middle of the Souss-Massa-Draa valley, the '434' opened in November 2012 and received 5 artists from La SIRA for three months. The '434' was created in the spirit of creating a collaboration between our artists and the local craftsmen and artists to form a dynamic and contemporary 'cultural bridge' between Orient and Occident.</p>

Allocation of funds
<p>MAD Agency's overseas residencies, 44O HOPE or '434' in Morocco are spaces which favour contemporary creation. Apart from their incredible creative aspect, these residencies are also great meeting places, where collaborations happen, and this outreach from young artists to discover a new culture can be assimilated in some way to artistic diplomacy. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>To guarantee the best level of artistic production, we liberate the artists from any material constraints: they are lodged and fed to dispense them of everyday life details and worries so as to give them the time to focus on the realisation of their projects.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Los Angeles is a city going through an exceptional cultural rush of energy! This past year, many major initiatives have been linking Paris to LA (Paris Photo LA, Ceci N'est Pas..) and we wish to create a real dialogue between our artists and the local artists.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To make this project happen in Los Angeles, we have to triple the usual budget allotted to our winter residencies; we therefore appeal to your generosity!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of the 12,000€ (one third of our total budget) we aim to raise, about 3000€ will be used every month to contribute to the expenses of 44O HOPE (rentals, utility bills etc..). The rest will be saved to help towards the production costs of our LA exhibition!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The two other thirds of the budget of 44O HOPE are formed by the artist and MAD Agency contribution to the project.</p>
