Changing Landscape Artist Residency
The world’s natural and built environments are endangered and the need to seriously engage contemporary thinking about these disappearing landscapes through the creation of art is of paramount importance. ASITW envisions this as a powerful context for the exploration of critical thinking, the development of new ideas and strategies, and using the creative process as a catalyst for social change. With this in mind, we invite artists to submit applications to our inaugural environmental residency series entitled Changing Landscapes, addressing the ecological challenges exemplified by Southern Louisiana. The call is open to artists of all disciplines who have demonstrated an established dialogue with environmental issues and a commitment to seeking and plowing new ground. Artists are invited to design their own interface with the public and are encouraged to propose ways to engage the larger community of New Orleans and beyond.
Three 6-week residencies are to be offered between November 2008 and April 2009. The deadline for submissions is August 4, 2008. Please click the link below to access the application or send an email to applications@astudiointhewoods.org for more information.
Changing Landscape Residencies are funded in part by the Ford Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. |
