CALL FOR ARTISTS
Crawl Space
STUDIO INTENSIVE RESIDENCY
June 10-21 2008

In an effort to challenge early career artists in the power and scope
of their art making, Crawl Space announces its second-annual Studio
Intensive Residency, during which one selected 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 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 air mattress 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 this confinement to an
immersive, unfamiliar and entirely un-recreational art making space
will spur the resident artist to break away from characteristic
approaches and methods of art making.

      IN SEVEN DAYS, CRAWL SPACE'S INTENSIVE STUDIO PROGRAM REMINDED ME
      OF WHY I LOVE MAKING ART   - Michelle Fried, 2007 Resident Artist

The resident artist will hold Visitation during the week of
confinement, to give interested parties a glimpse at his or her
art-making process.  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 but is responsible for
all costs of transportation and production beyond that amount.  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
June 10th and 21st.  Please submit proposals for participation under
the following guidelines:

      On CD or DVD:
      - 10-20 digital images of recent work

      PRINTED AND on CD or DVD:
      - proposed use of time during residency  lock-in and how you

      - artist resume and statement
      - work sample description

      $10 APPLICATION FEE made payable to Crawl Space

      (Materials will not be returned but will be entered in our
digital slide library for possible inclusion in future exhibits)
