2017 Artist Residency Program Reception at Gallery 263
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Saturday, July 29, 2017
Location:
Gallery 263 | 263 Pearl Street, Cambridge, MA 02139
Gallery 263 is pleased to announce the four artists selected for our Summer 2017 Artist Residency Program: Emily Brodrick, Kwang Choi, Kelly Knight, and Daniel Zeese. This year’s cohort represents a variety of creative trajectories that intersect in their engagement with fiber media. Each artist’s practice holds a unique connection to fiber - some are just beginning to embrace it, some are hoping to push their fiber practice in new directions, and others are looking to branch out, away from fiber, towards other sculptural, 2D, or time-based media. Outside of their shared interest in yarn, thread, garments and textiles, the artists come from diverse backgrounds, work in disparate ways, and grapple with a variety of questions about what it means to be human, have a human society, a human history, and human hopes and dreams.
Interspersed into the Residency are two public critique sessions, during which we will discuss process, intention, and resolution. After six weeks in the studio, the artists will showcase new and in-progress works during the final week of the Residency. Though we have no formal visiting hours until the Exhibition, Gallery 263 invites you to stop in when our Residents are working in the space. With the Residency program, we are proud to offer the Boston and Cambridge community a stake in the process, not just the product, of art making.
