Housed in SVA’s new state-of-the-art sculpture facility, this residency gives traditional Sculptors and new media artists an opportunity to experiment with the latest in digital technology in an environment that is conducive to inter-media exploration and critical dialogue. The program is intended for serious artists who work in sculpture and installation, as well those engaging in digital video, digital sculpture, rapid prototyping, 3D graphics, and other new media.
Our sculpture facilities allow for working with wood, plaster, ceramics, metal, plastics, and custom electronics, et al. Those artists whose interests are in digital art can opt to work with high-end digital photography, video, 3D graphics, and sound production equipment. In addition, access to rapid prototyping, laser, and CNC routing technologies is available. Integrated computer workstations allow artists to create 3D models for output and edit high-definition videos and professional quality soundtracks. The facility is designed for fluid movement between digital and traditional media and is well equipped to support inter-media installation and performance work including multi-channel audio and video installations and performance using interactive media and video. Artists who are interested in hybrid forms and new media in two, three, and four dimensions will find the environment conducive to an experimental approach to art-making.
Located in the heart of New York City’s Chelsea gallery district, participants have their own studio space where they meet with faculty for individual critiques. The program includes seminars, equipment demonstrations, lectures, site visits, gallery walks, and dialogue with participants of the various residency programs. Guest lecturers include artists, critics, curators, and gallery directors. Faculty members are selected for their diverse perspectives and professional experience. The program culminates in an open studio exhibition, which enables participants to present their work to the public.
Note: A portfolio is required for review and acceptance to this program.
Faculty and guest lecturers have included:
Paul Amenta, Suzanne Anker, Steve DeFrank, Frank Gillette, Kate Gilmore, Michael Joaquin Grey, Erik Guzman, Alois Kronschläger, Michael Rees, Jerry Saltz, and Simon Watson.
