It’s a collaboration. Each participant contributing equally. Field trips, hikes, meetings with “real” people, collaborative video projects, individual quests, a lot of “show and tell,” too much late night Googling, and lots of misunderstandings will steer us through this residency.
02 Ken Lum’s Master Class: Art and the effects of the Real
Program dates: January 4 – February 21, 2012
Application deadline: July 25, 2011
The most interesting contemporary art is focused on the uneasy relationship between identity and the Real, concerned centrally with the social and spatial impediments that so often divide people from one another. It is the aim of Art and the effects of the Real to investigate the deepening interest of art towards its contingencies. This is an intensive residency with a structured program schedule that includes weekly seminars, discussion groups, and film screenings.
Self-directed Creative Residencies
Self-directed residencies are self-guided opportunities where the artist is free to experiment and explore new directions in the production of their work. Program dates are available year-round.
Leighton Artists’ Colony for Independent Residencies
Set in a quiet and secluded wooded setting with a backdrop of the Canadian Rockies, the Leighton Artists’ Colony offers professional artists the opportunity for concentrated work in an exceptional environment only a moments walk from the hub of activity on campus. Designed with visual artists in mind, there is plenty of studio space for work on large pieces or a collection of small works.
