EDUCATION PROGRAMS

LEAP PROGRAM • GUIDED TOURS • SERIES EVENTS • ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

The goals of our Artist-in-Residence program are characterized by the following inquiries:

How can we create an environment in which artists have the freedom to explore and experiment?
How can we create an environment that allows artists the luxury of sustained time in order to investigate ways of thinking, to focus ideas and to test vision?
How can we structure programs and community outreach that give audiences an opportunity to observe and interact with artists who are engaged in their work while not imposing on artist's time and privacy?
How can we establish residency guidelines that encourage a wide-ranging application pool?
How can we support and nurture emerging artists at a crucial point in their career?

The program offers studio space, living quarters and a stipend for extended periods of concentrated on-site studio work and community discourse. Residents are chosen on the basis of merit with an emphasis on highly promising emerging artists who have an interest in public dialogue. Each residency period is between two and four months depending on the artist and the scope of his/her projects and practices. During the course of the residency, artists are asked to present a series of informal talks and dialogues that promote discussion and open the language of contemporary art to artists and a broad and challenging public.

2008 Artist in Residence
Chris Jones

May 18th - August 17th, 2008

Chris Jones is a London based artist who creates sculptures that hover between the fantastical and the mundane, composed of images from magazines, calendars, encyclopedias and posters. During his three month residency at the HVCCA, Jones lived in Peekskill during which he worked directly in HVCCA’s mezzanine gallery to produce intricate site-specific sculptural installations. The results of his residency are combined with examples of recent work, piecing together local stories, history and terrain.
