In an effort to challenge early career artists in the power and scope of their art making, Crawl Space announces its new Studio Intensive Residency, during which the resident artist will be confined to Crawl Space grounds for one week to prepare an exhibition. The resident artist will commit to a full seven days and seven nights of working at Crawl Space. Arriving at the gallery with whatever art-making and survival supplies he or she brings along, the artist will establish a studio workspace and squatting quarters for the week. A hot plate, refrigerator, toilet, sink, and sleeping cot will be provided. During this week of confinement, the artist is expected to generate completely new works, either as a continuation of a body of work or as a special project or installation. No completed or in-progress works will be admitted. Crawl Space hopes that confining the artist to an unfamiliar and entirely un-recreational art making space where he/she cannot get away from his/her work will spur that artist to break away from characteristic approaches and methods of art making. Work completed during the lock-in will be installed for exhibition at the end of the following week. The resident artist will receive a $500 honorarium. The exhibition will be on view for a three-week period thereafter. The Studio Intensive Residency is not for the faint of heart! The Crawl Space crew will be on call in case of emergency food and supply delivery. Daily meals will be provided by local businesses. The resident artist must be able to commit a full week (7 consecutive days and nights) to working and squatting on Crawl Space grounds, between September 18th and 24th. Please submit proposals for participation under the following guidelines: 1. On CD or DVD: Postmark Deadline 4 August 2007 Mail all submissions to: Crawl Space Information: 206-201-2441 |
