In an effort to challenge early career artists in the power and scope of their art making, Crawl Space has organized a Studio Intensive Residency during which a 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 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
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. The resident artist must be able to commit a full week (7 consecutive days and nights) to working and squatting on Crawl Space grounds.
