What Exactly is an Artist-in-Residence (and Should Your Museum Have One)?

Ashleigh Hibbins

Artist-in-residence

Description

“Artist-in-residence, or artist residencies, encompass a wide spectrum of artistic programs which involve a collaboration between artists and hosting organisations, institutions, or communities. They are programs which provide artists with space and resources to support their artistic practice.” Wikipedia

Museum Professional

Artist residencies are a growing trend in museums around the world, but what is an artist in residence?

An artist-in-residence is when a museum recruits a person (or group of people) with a specific skill or attribute to produce work, provide advice, and/or promote the museum for a defined period of time, from just a few days to a year or more.

When done right, everyone can benefit from an artist residency: the museum gains new knowledge, ideas, products, and audiences, the artist-in-residence gets special access to the museum’s collections, spaces, and expertise to inform their own work, and the museum’s visitors can enjoy the new displays, experiences, and approaches that are produced by the artist-in-residence. As artsy.net says, residencies are incubators for productivity, funding, forging relationships, and finding inspiration – but there’s no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Read on to explore how to run a successful artist residency at your museum.

Artist Residencies in Atypical Museums

Even if you’re constrained by budget or space, an artist in residence could still work for your museum with a little creative thinking.

Side Street Studios in Cape Town isn’t your standard art museum – it’s a complex of studios, workshops, and galleries spread across three once-abandoned buildings. Since 2015 they’ve leveraged their unique spaces to host three-week residencies with a particular focus on street art, urban exploration, and community engagement. Resident artists live in the complex for free, and in return create a piece of artwork for the museum. By basing their residencies on in-kind exchange of creativity instead of cash payment, Side Street Studios has created a more affordable (and maybe even more productive) model that can be sustained long-term.

Artists in residence don’t even need to take up physical space in your museum. Take inspiration from LACMA, which recently launched its first Instagram residency by recruiting a local artist to take over the museum’s Instagram account. Like all successful residencies, this one benefits everyone involved: the artist gets a boost to their profile and work, while LACMA gets fresh content for their social media feeds, and the opportunity to connect with new digital audiences.

Can you only have resident artists?

Many museums host visual artists in residence, but others have taken a less traditional approach. The Delaware Art Museum hosts entire family-in-residences who work together to create art installations in the museum’s family space. On the other side of the Atlantic, the Victoria & Albert Museum currently hosts opera residents to compose a new opera based on the museum’s exhibitions.

Bottom line: With a little imagination and perspiration, you can create an artist in residence programme that works for your unique museum.

OK, I’m convinced about the whole artist residency thing. Now what do I do?

Deciding to host an artist in residence is the most important step; now, it’s time to put your idea into action. The following steps will help you create a successful residency program for your museum.

Define what you want your artist residency to achieve. Do you want to promote an exhibition or event, create a physical piece of work, develop workshops, produce online content, or something else? Defining what you want will pinpoint the type of residency your museum needs, so be as precise as possible. For example, the Nuuk Art Museum in Greenland runs a residency specifically to encourage exchange between Greenlandic and Nordic artists.
Plan a workable budget. Is your museum going to pay your resident artist or cover expenses? Will you need to spend money on extra supplies or marketing? Be realistic about what your residency can achieve within the budget you have.
Recruit your resident. You’ll need to put out an open call for people to apply to your residency, or in some cases, approach individuals you may already have in mind. Consider what kinds of candidates you want to attract, and how this will impact where and how you spread the word about the opportunity. You’ll need to create a brief to explain to potential applicants about what the residency involves, the qualities and skills you’re looking for, and what’s in it for them.
Make a lasting impression. Before the artist residency even begins, it’s important to consider how it will end. What will the legacy of the residency be – an artistic creation for the collection, new audience relationships, improved knowledge of a topic, or something else? The long-term impact of the residency will ultimately be what defines its success.

Should you start with an artist in residence?

If your museum can achieve all the steps above, then we say YES. Inviting new perspectives, talent, and experimentation can only make your museum even more awesome.

What do you think? Are you intrigued by the idea of having an artist-in-residence at your museum? Are you already doing this? Let us know!

Allison Glenn is a curator and writer deeply invested in working closely with artists to develop ideas, artworks, and exhibitions that respond to and transform our understanding of the world. Glenn’s curatorial work focuses on the intersection of art and publics, through public art, biennials, special projects, and major new commissions by a wide range of contemporary artists.

She is one of the curators for the Counterpublic 2023 triennial, running April 15-July 15, 2023 in St. Louis, presenting the work of Sir David Adjaye OM OBE, Matthew Angelo Harrison, Mendi + Keith Obadike and Maya Stovall, in collaboration with The Griot Museum of Black History and the George B. Vashon Museum of African American History.

Glenn received substantial critical and community praise for her curatorial work in the 2021 groundbreaking exhibition at the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky titled Promise, Witness, Remembrance an exhibition that reflected on the life of Breonna Taylor, centered on her portrait painted by Amy Sherald. The New York Times selected the exhibition as one of the Best Art Exhibitions of 2021. Glenn was listed as one of the 2022 ArtNews Deciders and on the 2021 Observer Arts Power 50 List.

Glenn was previously Senior Curator at Public Art Fund; Associate Curator, Contemporary Art, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, where she shaped how outdoor sculpture activates and engages Crystal Bridges’ 120-acre campus; Manager of Publications and Curatorial Associate for Prospect New Orleans’ international art triennial Prospect.4: The Lotus in Spite of the Swamp, and Curatorial Fellow with the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events.

Tom Virgin/Extra Virgin Press

Biography

My work spans a range of media from prints and book arts, to sculpture and public works. Two degrees in printmaking, over a decade of residencies in artist’s communities/National Parks, and a parallel career teaching art in Title I Public High Schools for over 20 years have nurtured a desire to make my work accessible to a broad range of people, and supportive of the communities that I am part of. By making multiples I am able to spread my own community around, while leaving pieces of Miami in the communities I travel to. I bring Miami wherever I go, and bring other artists home to my friends and colleagues.

I am born and raised in the Midwest (Detroit), transplanted to South Florida and loving it.

El oficio como curador de arte

El oficio como curador de arte

Por: José Gregorio Noroño, curador y crítico de arte

En mi época como investigador y curador del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Maracay Mario Abreu, mis compañeros de trabajo me sugirieron que hiciera un texto donde explicara qué era un curador, en qué consistía su oficio. Aunque les parezca extraño, en la práctica sabía hacer muy bien mi oficio, pero teóricamente no sabía qué era un curador; en ningún momento me había puesto a reflexionar sobre la actividad de esta figura. Entonces me dispuse a investigar, y entre los textos sobre el tema encontré uno muy interesante, publicado en la revista venezolana Estilo, de la autoría de Félix Suazo, titulado El (sano) oficio de curar, artículo reflexivo que me dio luces, junto a mi experiencia como tal, para desarrollar didácticamente el tema en cuestión.

Al revisar la etimología del vocablo curar, encontramos que éste proviene del latín curare, que significa cuidar. En español, curar tiene varios sentidos: además de cuidar significa sanar, suministrar los medicamentos a un enfermo, preparar las carnes para conservarlas, curtir las pieles. De curare deriva el vocablo inglés curator —curador— que se traduce como cuidador, como una persona que cuida de alguna cosa, por ejemplo, de los bienes de un menor o de una persona incapaz de administrarlos. De allí, este término se extiende para señalar la actividad de aquellas personas que realizan curadurías.

La tarea que actualmente realiza un curador de arte, anteriormente la realizaba un poeta, un escritor o cualquier persona aficionada o interesada por el acontecer artístico. El curador, como profesional especializado, es una figura que, en nuestra cultura visual latinoamericana, cuenta con unos 30 años de haberse iniciado, la cual ha ido tomando relevancia. El término curador se ha vuelto tan usual dentro y fuera de los museos, que el público no deja de preguntarse en qué consiste realmente su actividad.

Cuando alguien oye o se encuentra con el sustantivo curador, de inmediato lo relaciona con un sanador de cuerpos, con una persona que sana, repone o restablece la salud de un individuo. Partiendo de esta idea que se ha formado el público, podemos decir que el curador es una suerte de médico que cura ciertas “patologías del arte”, “que es un sanador de lo bello y restaurador de un campo de asepsia para el arte”, como dice Suazo. Visto de esta manera, este término se ajusta más a la función del conservador o restaurador de obras en un museo, ya que, efectivamente, éste actúa como un médico, aplica métodos terapéuticos: previene a las obras de enfermedades y, cuando es necesario, les realiza intervenciones quirúrgicas, figurativamente hablando.

El curador —si lo vemos bajo la metáfora de Suazo, como un “terapeuta o sanador del arte”— es quien realiza un diagnóstico que ayuda a revelar una situación artística en particular, y sus reflexiones o propuestas teóricas pueden ser interpretadas como prescripciones que permiten entender y atender el estado de salud de la producción artística que le haya correspondido cuidar, es decir, curar.

Ahora bien, acercándonos más a esta figura profesional, encontramos que el curador de arte, visto en principio como personal de planta de un museo, es el representante general de una colección en particular, bien sea de pintura, escultura, obras sobre papel, nuevos medios, entre otras disciplinas artísticas. Es el responsable de velar por su conservación, de su estudio y conocimiento, además de organizar exposiciones relacionadas con las obras que están bajo su cuidado o curaduría. Claro, él también se interesa por obras de otros museos o coleccionistas particulares, con el fin de realizar, enriquecer o complementar exposiciones vinculadas con su colección.

En la acepción más amplia del término, un curador de arte suele ser el encargado de preparar conceptualmente una exposición, de construir lecturas a través de ese evento, el cual lo integra un grupo de objetos artísticos, a cuyo proceso de producción le hace seguimiento desde la concepción de la idea hasta la puesta en escena. El curador es quien establece el tema o concepto, es decir, el hilo conductor del evento; selecciona al artista o los artistas; hace investigación documental y de campo (visita artistas en su taller, colecciones públicas y privadas, realiza entrevistas, escoge las obras); prepara el guion museológico, supervisa la museografía y el montaje; redacta y supervisa los contenidos del catálogo, tales como ensayo crítico, comentario de obras, síntesis curricular, lista de obras, fotografías, diseño y corrección de estilo.

En resumen, la figura del curador está muy relacionada con la actividad investigativa, crítica, museográfica y de promoción cultural.

La importancia del crítico en el mercado del arte

La importancia del crítico en el mercado del arte

Por: José Gregorio Noroño, curador y crítico de arte

Hay artistas que no ven con agrado el trabajo del crítico. Esto sucede porque ha habido críticos perversos, mal intencionados; aquellos que creen que hacer crítica es enfatizar las debilidades sobre las fortalezas de quienes tienen por oficio la creación artística. Estos críticos son como esos profesores que disfrutan cuando algunos estudiantes salen aplazados en su cátedra.
No podemos negar que el artista conoce su obra, como una madre a su hijo, pero como éste, la obra también tiene su propia personalidad, sus propios pensamientos y forma de ser. El trabajo del crítico profesional consiste en desentrañar los pensamientos de su creador y los de su creación: la obra de arte.
Ahora bien, como curador y crítico de arte he advertido que todo artista produce su obra a partir de una intención, de una idea o concepto, de la cual generalmente es consciente, pero en su proceso creativo su obra se va impregnando de elementos de los que no tiene consciencia, aspectos que normalmente no advierte, conceptual y técnicamente hablando; lo que amerita distanciamiento personal, opinión, juicio o interpretación de una segunda o tercera persona. Si bien uno debe ser autocrítico, ser el primer crítico de su obra, considero que como creador uno no suele ser el mejor intérprete de su obra; para que ésta trascienda debe contar con otras miradas.
En el mundo de las artes visuales hay varias figuras que se abocan a atender el quehacer del artista, estos son el galerista, el marchante (comerciante de obras de arte), el coleccionista, el curador y el crítico, particularmente esta última figura, cuyos juicios de valor, opinión, interpretación y comentarios favorecen al artista, contribuyendo a posicionarlo en el mercado del arte, en la comercialización de su producto. Es decir, que una buena crítica, sincera, documentada y objetiva, dentro de nuestra inevitable subjetividad, despierta el interés de los marchantes, galeristas y coleccionistas, garantizando así la circulación y comercialización de la obra de arte, y la proyección de su creador.

NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale Announces New Exhibition: Cosmic Mirrors

On view from May 26 to Fall 2023, the show highlights 27 Haitian artists who illuminate facets of Haiti’s political history and creative abundance

NSU Art Museum Fort Lauderdale will present Cosmic Mirrors, bringing together some of the most striking artworks created by Haitian artists from the 1950s to 2000s. The exhibition, drawn almost exclusively from the Museum’s rich collection of over 160 Haitian art works features contemporary artists such as Serge Jolimeau (b.1952, Croix-des-Bouquets), Pascale Monnin (b.1974, Port-au-Prince) and Frantz Zéphirin (b.1968, Cap Haitien, Haiti), alongside masters of the Haitian Renaissance, such as Roland Dorcely (1930-2007), Néhémy Jean (1931-2007), Louisiane Saint Fleurant (1924-2005) and Ismael Saincilus (1940-2000), who in the early and mid-twentieth century, established the ateliers, movements and markets that formed the country’s modernist aesthetic.

The exhibition is mounted in dialogue with the Museum’s concurrent show, Kathia St. Hilaire: Immaterial Being, the first solo museum presentation by the South Florida-born artist.As the child of Haitian émigrés, St. Hilaire combines found objects that act as symbols of Black American experience, such as packaging from hair relaxers and skin lightening creams, with visual and material references to Haitian culture. These combined elements create a visual representation of the St. Hilaire’s identity formation, growing up within the diasporic Afro-Caribbean community in Florida.

The Museum recently acquired St. Hilaire’s Tout Moun Se Yo Moun (Everyone is Someone) 2022, which was purchased with funds provided by the members of the Museum’s Curator Circle.

Cosmic Mirrors provides viewers with a deeper context through which to orient St. Hilaire’s presentation, while also offering a unique opportunity to view some of the Museum’s most significant artworks connected to this Greater Antillean nation.

The exhibition thematically guides viewers across an arrangement of work by 27 artists, both celebrated and unknown, that together illuminate facets of Haiti’s political history and creative abundance. Subjects include depictions of the nation’s founding, resultant of the only successful slave-rebellion in modern history, along with representations of the country’s spiritual syncretism between colonial Catholic beliefs and vodou cosmology, as well as depictions of the country’s lush terrain, romantically presented as a pastoral idyll.

The exhibition’s title refers to the Haitian Vodou belief in a parallel universe, referred to as Laviloka or Afrik Ginen. This land is both real and divine, functioning as an inverse reflection of the physical world. This cosmic sphere is populated by the immortal spirits of the country’s African ancestors and spiritual divinities, and through spiritual ceremony, reaches into our own profane realm. Beyond this understanding of another dimension, the title points to the leitmotif of doubles, reflexives and equivalents, that are persistent throughout Haitian culture.

Cosmic Mirrors showcases a selection of recently donated gifts to the NSU Art Museum Collection, presented by Carol J. Horning and Linda Marks. These generous offerings have enriched the Museum’s representation of Haitian culture, which remains critical to our mission to reflect and engage with the culture and communities that define our region.

Situated midway between Miami and Palm Beach, NSU Art Museum is located in the heart of Downtown Fort Lauderdale. The Museum is a premier destination for exhibitions and programs encompassing all facets of civilization’s visual history and is widely known for its significant collection of Latin American art, contemporary art with an emphasis on art by Black, Latin American and women artists, as well as works by American artist William Glackens and the European Cobra group of artists.

Art Statement

I am motivated by a deep fascination with humans’ relations with non-human creatures. My work is directly inspired by recent possible technologies, natural sciences, and environmental justice, and my creative process is grounded in research and collaborations. While technology is often used to shield us from nature, I utilize it to help people to rebuild their relationship with the living world – to move from a place of disregard and disgust to a place of wonder and attachment. As an immigrant feminist, I’m eager to raise conversations across borders, both physical and mental, and invite my audience to re-evaluate their preconceptions of other species. I combine my background in biology, cognitive science, and art to create interactive, technology-enhanced works, often involving living organisms, that explore complex scientific themes. Like a therapist that guides you to a deeper understanding of your emotions, I create opportunities for people to reconnect deeply with nature.

How can we make the outdoors a space of belonging?
Seventy years into the Anthropocene, we find ourselves increasingly isolated and alone. The reports on biodiversity loss are staggering. In this world, humans and our livestock account for 96% of all mammal life on earth. A dominance that seems to require continuous expansion, claiming space from the remaining 4% of wild mammals.

I’m a strong believer in changing the conversation to spotlight the bright ideas, successful solutions, and passionate people working to protect our planet – the Earth Optimism movement. I believe that we need to embrace a multi-species perspective in order to create a sustainable way of life on earth. Art allows us to rethink our preconceptions about the non-human animals around us. How can we change the feeling of being a visitor to be present, and be part of this place we all call home? At AIRIE I aim to continue creating intimate experiences of discovery that reveal overlooked and unseen moments and enhance the sense of belonging.

Artists in Residence in Everglades (AIRIE) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit operating in Everglades National Park and the Greater Miami Area. AIRIE supports a paid month-long immersive residency for artists in the park to explore the intersection of arts and the environment.

At the AIRIE Nest Gallery, we have a chance to share some of the work from our Artist Fellows inspired by their residency in the Everglades. Please check our events page or subscribe to our newsletter below to stay informed of our gallery openings and events.

We now have opportunities for gallery sponsorship! Please see our SUPPORT page for details.

Make sure the company has experience working with food trucks.

Food Truck Design & Build

Designing and building a food truck is a big undertaking, but it can be a very rewarding experience. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Choose the right truck. There are many different types of food trucks available, so it’s important to choose one that is the right size and style for your needs. You’ll also need to decide whether you want to buy a new truck or a used one.
Plan your kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of your food truck, so it’s important to plan it carefully. Make sure you have enough space for all of your equipment and that the layout is efficient.
Design your exterior. The exterior of your food truck is the first thing that potential customers will see, so it’s important to make a good impression. Choose a design that is eye-catching and reflects your brand.
Get the necessary permits. Before you can start operating your food truck, you’ll need to get the necessary permits from your local government. This process can vary depending on where you live, so it’s important to do your research.
Market your food truck. Once you’re up and running, you’ll need to start marketing your food truck. There are many different ways to do this, including social media, word-of-mouth, and event marketing.
Here are some additional tips for building and designing a food truck:

Hire a professional. If you’re not comfortable building your own food truck, you can hire a professional to do it for you. This can be a more expensive option, but it will ensure that your truck is built to code and that it meets your needs.
Start small. If you’re new to the food truck business, it’s a good idea to start small. This means starting with a simple menu and a small truck. As you gain experience, you can expand your menu and your truck.
Be patient. Building and designing a food truck takes time and money. Don’t expect to start making a profit overnight. Be patient and persistent, and you’ll eventually be successful.
Building and designing a food truck can be a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun. With careful planning and execution, you can create a food truck that is both successful and enjoyable to operate.

Once you have chosen a company, be sure to work with them to create a design that you love. Your food truck’s appearance is one of the first things that potential customers will see, so it is important to make a good impression.

Our Story

Fountainhead was founded in 2008 by collectors and passionate art appreciators Kathryn and Dan Mikesell, who believe connecting people intimately with artists impacts how we move through this world, treat one another and confront today’s most critical issues. They created Fountainhead to positively impact the lives and careers of artists and nurture and grow their local arts ecosystem. Establishing a residency program for visiting national and international artists alongside an artists’ studios complex to serve the local artist community, Fountainhead has served over 500 artists from 48 countries and engages thousands of art lovers each year. In 2019, Fountainhead launched Artists Open, a countywide open studios event that welcomes the public into over 300 artists studios all over Miami.

Fountainhead’s approach empowers artists by making connections that lead to growth in their work and careers, providing time and space to experiment and challenge their practice, and mentorship and business skills to help them lead thriving careers. In its 14-year history, Fountainhead has become a pioneering force in the arts and culture landscape developing innovative artist and community engagement programs, and cultivating key relationships with leading art institutions in South Florida and beyond.

About Art Residency

Fountainhead Residency provides artists with connections to thrive in their careers and a nurturing environment to create, converse, inspire and be inspired.

During each month-long residency, artists are personally introduced to nationally recognized curators, collectors, and gallerists for one-on-one studio visits, offering a one-of-kind opportunity for mentorship, insight, and perspective on their work. They are invited to experiment, investigate, and reflect, while being immersed in the local cultural landscape. Artists-in-residence receive roundtrip airfare, living and working accommodations and a stipend. They meet local artists and explore Miami’s major museums, collections and galleries. Attorneys, financial professionals and business consultants are available for critical entrepreneurial guidance.

At the end of each month, Fountainhead welcomes the public into the residency to meet the artists, view their work, and learn what inspires them. In pursuit of supporting artists financially, works are made available for sale, and the organization works directly with the artist and honors any gallery representation agreements to facilitate these sales. Fountainhead’s proceeds directly support the program and its artist community, funding artist stipends, honorariums, and artist programs.

Artists live and work communally in a 1950s home, iconic of Miami’s Modern architectural style, in the historic and centrally-located Morningside neighborhood. The residency is surrounded by lush tropical foliage and open space, and is just steps from Biscayne Bay. Artists have access to paddleboards, kayaks, and bikes to explore the beautiful nature surrounding them.

Selection Process

Fountainhead entrusts much of the artist selection process to its alumni network to reach new voices and perspectives. Alumni nominate artists to apply for the majority of our residencies. Select residencies are filled through a collaborative process with cultural partners and their independent curators. Our Curatorial Committee makes final selections from these applications. The nomination process for 2024 will begin in late Spring; open call applications will be accepted beginning July 17, 2023.

Please sign up for our newsletter to stay informed of future opportunities.

2023 Artists -in-Residence

Baris Gokturk
Born in Turkey | Based in New York
January 2023
Sponsored by Shepard Broad Foundation

Baris Gokturk is interested in the potential for change in the political realm, the shape-shifting possibilities within the aesthetic language, and the way these two realms relate to each other. He reconstructs documents about current and historical events or individuals existing within or against the dominant paradigms of power in three-dimensional layers, hybrid fragments and installations that oscillate between drawing, painting and sculpture. He rebuilds the photographic image as a physical surface first, and then peels it off as a displaced piece of skin that is then reapplied to other found or sculpted objects. This layered process leads to an archeological network of contemporary culture while exposing, dismantling and restructuring existing relations between the larger scale of history and the intimate sphere of the individual.

Baris is a Turkish artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. He teaches at John Hopkins University, Parsons School of Design and Columbia University. Gokturk has shown his work internationally in US, Germany, Spain, France, Korea, Turkey and Puerto Rico. Recent museum exhibitions include Pera Museum in Istanbul and SECCA in Winston-Salem, NC.

Juan Jose Cielo
Born in Colombia | Based in New York
January 2023
Sponsored by Shepard Broad Foundation; In partnership with YoungArts

Juan Jose Cielo creates simulations in painting where futuristic technology is a force to experience the sublime. He creates space where Latino myth/folklore are part of the visions of a futuristic world, and combines American dreams with his Colombian heritage. In these scenes, people use technology and futuristic ships as vehicles for cultural expression. The paintings reenact timeless moments that recur in the life of immigrants, like family reunions and funerals. The work considers how diaspora communities maintain identity in a new place, and how this changes over generations. The futuristic vehicles, their decorations and their placement in rural landscapes are all symbols of transformations in family, language and how we relate to our heritages over time.

Cielo has exhibited at The Coral Springs Museum of Art, the Consulate of Colombia in New York City, XVII Festival Internacional de la Imagen in Manizales and The Alliance Française in Bogota. In 2017 Cielo was an artist in residence with scientists at a full-scale Mars simulation program: the Mars Desert Research station in Utah. His work has been featured on Univision 41 evening news, National Geographic Traveler magazine, El Heraldo Newspaper and ARTnews. Cielo is the winner of YoungArts’s $25,000 Jorge M. Pérez Award 2022.

Miguel Braceli
Born in Venezuela | Based in New York
January 2023
Sponsored by Shepard Broad Foundation

Miguel Braceli is an artist, architect, educator. He works with large-scale participatory projects based on collective learning and making. They are site-specific works that bring together communities, schools, and organizations in the development of Proyectos Formativos (Formative Projects): community-based projects whose main medium is education. Addressing social-political issues, these projects happen in public space to create communal responses from, with and for specific communities. He works at the intersection of art, architecture, and social practices; exploring geopolitical and local conflicts.

Most of these projects have been large-scale works developed in Latin America, Europe, and the United States; exhibited in galleries and institutions through photography, sculpture and film. He has led educational projects with institutions such as Documenta Fifteen, MoMA, Washington Projects for the Arts, Matadero Madrid, among others. His most recent participations and recognitions include Skowhegan (2022), Art Omi (2021), AIM Bronx Museum Fellow (2022), Future Architecture Fellow (2019), and Young Artist Award of the Principality of Asturias (2018). In 2021, he founded LA ESCUELA___ together with Siemens Stiftung International. In 2022, he received a commission by the Percent for Art program for a permanent public artwork in New York City. He is currently a Fulbright Scholar working and living in New York.

Christian Ruiz Berman
Born in Mexico I Based in New York
February 2023
Sponsored in part by Hesty Leibtag and Terry Verk

Christian Ruiz Berman’s work draws from histories of adaptation and migration. His painting practice dissects and understands the components of his experience and of his cultural and aesthetic legacy as a Mexican immigrant. His works address the surreal nature of being stuck between two worlds. Guided by his interests in architecture, memory, and storytelling, Christian creates layered and detailed works that explore illusion and depth on flat surfaces. Some works reference Mexican mythology, and some are based on malaphors, or mixed-up idioms, that nod to the confusion and inherent syncretism of the immigrant experience, but also a way to speak about the ways that abstraction and realism can be recombined to talk about a paradoxical universe.

His work emphasizes the idea that magic and surprise always happen as a result of shared experience, cross-cultural inspiration, and the subversion of established tropes and identities. Animals often take center stage in Christian’s work, acting as mischief makers, seers, and stewards of human culture. Christian’s work has been exhibited at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Missouri, the Green Family Art Foundation in Texas, the Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami and at various galleries throughout New York, including Nicodim and Calderon Ruiz. Christian lives and works in New York.

Miles Greenberg
Born in Canada I Based in New York
February 2023
Sponsored in part by Hesty Leibtag and Terry Verk

Miles Greenberg was born in Montreal in 1997 and is a New York-based performance artist and sculptor. His work consists of large-scale, sensorially immersive and often site-specific environments revolving around the physical body in space. These installations are activated with often extremely demanding durational performances that treat the body as sculptural material. These performances are then captured in real-time before the audience to generate later video works and sculptures.

At age seventeen, Greenberg abandoned formal education, throwing himself into four years of independent research on movement and architecture, which spanned a number of residencies in Paris, Beijing and New York. He has worked under the mentorship of Édouard Lock, Robert Wilson and Marina Abramović. The result of a rigorous, ritualistic methodology, Greenberg’s work follows self-contained, non-linear systems of logic that are best understood in relation to one another. Miles’s work has been exhibited at the New Museum in New York, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, during Art Basel in Switzerland and at various galleries across the world. Miles lives and works in New York.

Tamara Santibañez
Born in Oregon I Based in New York
February 2023
Sponsored in part by Hesty Leibtag and Terry Verk

Tamara Santibañez’s work is rooted in storytelling and the visual language of identity construction, exploring subcultural semiotics, narrative terrains, and the meanings we make from visual signifiers. As a trans artist, their practice memorializes the tactics and resistance strategies used by “othered” populations to build alternative worlds. Employing oil painting, ceramic and leatherworking craft techniques, Tamara animates symbols and accessories of queerness and rebellion with the visual lexicon of Mexican artisanal traditions, creating punk tees from tooled leather, belts from Talavera pottery, and paintings that equally honor lotería cards and gay bar latrinalia.

In their practices as a tattoo artist and oral historian, they are fascinated by the body as a venue for archiving and accessing personal and collective narratives. Enlisting inanimate objects and architectures as stand-ins for human figures and relationships, they complicate the undulating exchange between power and vulnerability, otherness and assimilation, generational expectations and individual capability. Tamara’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York, the Riverside Art Museum, the American Museum of Ceramic Art, and at numerous galleries in New York and Los Angeles. Tamara lives and works in New York.

Chloe Chiasson
Born in Texas I Based in New York
March 2023
Sponsored in part by Leslie and Michael Weissman

Born in a conservative small town in Texas, Chloe Chiasson’s sculptural paintings explore sexuality and identity in environments like that of her childhood. Her depictions of queer love, friendship, and self-expression are contextualized into a world where mutability wouldn’t be necessary for survival, where freedom stretches to take on more meaning and that exchanges rigid social norms for hopeful, fluid possibility. Provided by intimate views into history as well as a personal lifetime, Chiasson’s large-scale worlds shine a light on radical love and acceptance, the open mesh of possibilities, gaps, overlaps, dissonances, resonances, lapses and excesses of meaning that constitute queerness itself.

Chloe received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art. While at NYAA, she concentrated in painting and was awarded the Belle Artes Residency and the Chubb Post-Graduate Fellowship. Chiasson has exhibited internationally in London, Germany, and Hong Kong. She has been featured in Artsy, New American Paintings, Artnet News, Juxtapoz, and Hyperallergic.

Devin B. Johnson
Born in California | Based in New York
March 2023
Sponsored in part by Leslie and Michael Weissman

Devin B. Johnson approaches the canvas like a musician; you hear his work as much as you see it. His rhythm is architectural and expressive with a heavy textural backbeat. He’ll spray plaster on the substrate to pump up the bass through the subsequent layers. The paintings lie in a temporal space of bewilderment and undulation. Paint drips, pools, skips and gets pulled, almost like a time stretch or paused VCR stills. The paintings are between both a becoming and an undoing. Johnson paints from improvised, freestyle digital collages sourced from personal and historical imagery arranged into fictional, sentimental situations. Each portrait and tableau is a love song to these intimate, yet universally relatable experiences.

Born in Los Angeles, Johnson obtained his BA in Fine Arts from the California State University of Channel Islands and received a Masters of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute. In 2022, he was honored by the Artsy Vanguard. His work has been shown at Jeffrey Deitch, Nicodim Gallery, and at the ICA Los Angeles. Johnson lives and works in New York.

Jenny Feal
Born in Cuba | Based in France
March 2023
Sponsored in part by Leslie and Michael Weissman

In Cuba, water is omnipresent, especially as a territorial frontier. But in Cuban artist Jenny Feal’s work, the island is more specifically incarnated by land. Water and clay, so present in her pieces, represent the relationship all these elements maintain, generating the tension that impregnates her work. Feal compares the material to a flexible, malleable materialization of thought, as work in clay can be interrupted, continued step by step, dried, or broken down. The combination of clay and water is more than just a material happening, it is a metaphor for life, with the intrinsic ambivalence that resides in the absence of life, being death. Philosophically, clay is a timeless material; it can be endlessly modeled and shaped; Feal considers it a noble material, thanks to which everything is possible.

Feal’s works have been exhibited at the Havana Biennial, the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the Villa Médicis in Rome, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, the MAC Lyon during the Lyon Contemporary Art Biennial and at the Fondation Martell in Cognac. She was a finalist for the SAM Prize for Contemporary Art in France in 2021. Feal currently lives and works in Lyon, France.

Nekisha Durrett
Born and based in Washington, D.C.
August 2023
Sponsored in part by Adriana and Ricardo Malfitano

Nekisha Durrett (b. 1976 | Washington, DC) is a mixed-media artist who employs the visual language of mass media to bring forward histories that objects, places, and words embody, but are not often celebrated. Her expansive practice includes public art, social practice, installation, painting, sculpture and design. Through deep research and material investigation, she finds historical traces in the present that are filled with stories easily overlooked. Her work contemplates biases and the unreliability of memory, as information is filtered over time. Durrett illuminates individual and collective histories of Black life and imagination, addressing her own younger self and the stories she wished she had learned.

Durrett holds a BFA from The Cooper Union in New York City and MFA from The University of Michigan School of Art and Design as a Horace H. Rackham Fellow. She is the Howard University Social Justice Consortium Fellow, and a finalist for the 2023 Janet and Walter Sondheim Art Prize. Durrett has recently been awarded the commission for the ARCH Project at Bryn Mawr College in partnership with Monument Lab and is in production on Queen City, 35’ tall “vessel” in Arlington, VA that pays homage to 903 individuals displaced for the construction of the Pentagon in 1941.
