Resident Residency 2014

      with Katy Asher, Ariana Jacob, Khris Soden, Mack McFarland & Krista Connerly

Resident Residency, an artist residency program begun in January 2014, invites artists to participate in their respective Portland, Oregon, neighborhood association meetings as a context for developing participatory public artworks. Artists work as organizers, researchers, activists and fellow neighbors to create projects that are engaging, playful, and thought provoking in their own communities.

 Intersection Video by Kristy Edwards 19:00 minutes
When the modules of shiny steel are grouped and stacked, creating new structure in the once empty city street, the choreography of the work process becomes evident. Getting the job done may call for seemingly awkward movements and uncomfortable positions but there is art and vitality in awkwardness as well as in grace.

The urban grid is the frame for this cycle of building and tearing down that is parallel to the performance.  Intersection focused on the beauty and energy of daily work and life.
