STUDIO INTENSIVE RESIDENCY
Crawl Space is pleased to announce this year’s Studio Intensive Residency Artist Zack Bent, a recent MFA graduate of the University of Washington. In collaboration with his wife Gala Bent and their sons Ezra & Solomon, the artist will prepare an exhibition from scratch during seven days and nights of confinement to Crawl Space grounds.
Visitation by any member of the public who may wish to witness the mayhem of the ‘week of confinement’ will be permitted at 6pm on Wednesday 18 June and at 11am on Thursday 19 June. The Studio Residency Exhibition opens to the public from 6-9pm on Saturday 21 June.
Zack works in photography and video to isolate images that describe the delicate middle ground between success and failure, where possibility and potential exist. “I wrestle with dualities between the natural and spiritual, the specific and the universal, the childlike and the mature, between faith and reason.” Normally taking place in their home, the Bents’ collaborative process moves to Crawl Space to challenge their engagement with domestic rituals and objects.
